Is anyone collecting side bets? Checked with my broker and he said that this is the best investment one could make! Way much better than Google! 
Have fun and enjoy...hope this young lad has a good sense of humor, he is going to need it...

if there is other people around and as soon as he waves his hand flag or whatever just go and dont stop intill he starts cring
when i do tugs i start in 1st and once get him moving i grab second gear but you have to shift darn fast
most of the time let the other guy start to pull me and then let the truck do the work but that me
PS
add weight in your bed and dont tell him you wont need any but its fun to out weight buy a 1000lbs

It is very simple:
Dodge 3500 SRW 4x4 Laramie w/G56 = 7810 lbs.
Toyota Crewmax 4x4 Limited = 5705 lbs.
Difference = 2105 lbs.
I'd be surprised if he can even budge you with your brakes on.
Be sure to use a heavy tow strap and not a chain.
Also, make sure that you tie up at an even height.
If he ties up high, and you low, he might get enough lift on your rear axle to pull you.
If he ties low and you tie up high, he doesn't stand a chance.

well i wish you luck, win or loose wont prove who has more torque or power. Now both hook up to a trailer with 15000 lbs and take him on a tour of the hillsides. you should be heavier and have better traction so go in low and slow and drag his *** accross town.

Everyone's counting on you here at whooping up on him.... I wouldn't get overconfident... Use the advice, more weight in your truck, 4 low, 1st gear, tie high on yours and lower on his, wait until he starts to spin his tires...then pull him across the road...

4 low and who cares about shifting? I would leave it in first and just getter done!. who cares about how fast you drag him ? doing it without spinning a tire would be cool! keep us posted

Thanks a lot. Now I'll spend my whole weekend waiting for the results. So much for the excitement of college football. 
This is better than Stanford beating USC (but not by much).

That kid has got to be a azzclown, I would ****** the undercarriage out of his jap scrap, you are laying down 610 ft. lbs. of torque @ 1600 rpm so you don't have to do anything drastic, just hook 'em up and start pulling.
FULL PULL!!!
FULL PULL!!!

Wow... Sacramento... that's only three hours from me. I oughta go watch!!!!
Given Sac, odds are very good the Toy is 4wd. It takes a major idiot to buy a 2wd truck or SUV in NorCal, given trips to Tahoe or over Donner Summit.
