Thumbs up Duramax vs Cummins towing video, Great viewing

Have you ever wondered what goes through the mind of a Dudy Max owner? This is a great video & Chevy should quote this owner for there advertising. Like a crashing Airliner, Today's Chevrolet!!

Looooooooooooooooooooong video.

It would REALLY break his heart if he found out that Ol' Cummins that was out running his brand-spankin-new Duramax
was only a 6 cylinder.....

Was he video taping and driving at the same time? That doesn't seem too safe...


I guess that the Duramaxes throttle themselves back when they overtemp? He was just keeping the accelerator pegged and going as fast as it would let him?

Good video, but long! Gotta love inline diesel power.

I wish it was an old, junky first gen out towing him. That would make it even funnier!

Ha, finally got it. I LOVE when he says that the cummins is an 'inferior' product. Um...yea. Its quite obvious in that video. I think we should spread it like wildfire!!!!

REAL sad part.......the "inferior" Dodge probably could have hooked his "superior" Duramax & rig to the back of the Jeep and STILL climbed those hills.

Maybe they should post a sign.. "Slower Traffic & Duramaxes STAY Left or Home."

Yeah that was bugging me the whole time too. I hate it when people do that, the left lane is for passing only. Did you notice when he exited the freeway, he went front the left lane straight to the exit. This guy seems like a real rocket scientist to me.
