20 Toyota Land Cruisers Play Tug of War with a Caterpillar D8

Tug of war videos have become more and more popular lately, mostly due to the overinflated egos of fanboys across the world. You couldn’t watch one such video not too long ago without someone cutting in and flaming the discussion with a biased argument.
This time too, the video we’re about to watch is probably going to ignite the same heated discussion but... here we go!

This seems to have been recorded at some sort of Toyota meeting, where the people probably got bored and decided to take on something a little out of their league. And by that I mean a bulldozer.

That’s right, since one Toyota Land Cruiser was definitely not a match for the 40 ton monster from Caterpillar, the guys came up with an ingenious solution that allowed them to hook up no less than 20 Toyotas to the same device, for this tug of war not to be over in a second.

Therefore, what we have here is a contest between a 40 ton bulldozer with a diesel engine under the bonnet making roughly 180 HP (it’s a 1953 D8 model) and no less than twenty Toyota Land Cruisers from back in the day.

These are actually FJ40 models that were in production for over 20 years from 1960 to 1984 and they usually had engines that rarely went over 100 HP. Therefore, the combined power of them all would be around 2,000 HP. Will it be enough to pull the heavy beast or will they all get crushed? Let’s see then.
