This should tow my CCP

Let's see - 560,000 lbs, 12,000 lb-ft of torque, 1800 gallons of fuel - yep, this is a real truck:

I would think so. :ScrChin:

In So. Fla. our earthwork operations ran both 35 and 50 ton end dumps for off-road work. Standing next to a 50 ton tire was very intimidating.

400 tons.... :c029:

Like climbing a small tower crane to get in the cab. Changing tires must be quite a feat to witness.

How about 6 Abrams tanks in the bed @60T each just to put in perspective!

30 ft wide and they say the roads have to be 3 times that wide that they drive on - wow.

With a tire weighing 5 tons, AAA probably won't answer the call...   :104:
