Quite true - I used to have a 6 cyl 1962 Ford rock quary dump truck - it was geared for dragging boulders - duel 10ply tires - those earth mover style type on the back. Top speed was a whopping 45 MPH in top gear at full throttle - but that old beast could flat out PULL. Torque and traction are EVERYTHING in a pulling contest.

Today's moron is often tomorows genius - and visa - versa is also often the case. LMFAO!!
