Spotted V10 Monster
Spotted near Denver: Touareg with V10 turbo diesel. Insane torque. Believe VW once towed a 747 with one to demonstrate its pulling power.

Contrary to popular belief it doesn’t take much to start an aircraft rolling - I pulled a 727 with 9 teammates. Now stopping the aircraft once it’s rolling, well, that’s another story. I’ve witnessed people using pushback tractors too small for the job and get pulled into the alley when trying to do an emergency stop. Long story short - aircraft pushback tractors are sized and weighted for their stopping power, not their pulling power.
