Here is a real funny scenario and what I believe to be a false claim. Last night at the Supercross event here in Phoenix a Toyota Tundra was used to pull out the free-style ramp during intermission. Seeing that Toyota was a major sponsor for this event they had a "blinged-Up" Tundra connected to the freestyle ramp. This is where it gets funny.....the announcer actually claimed that this freestyle ramp "trailer" weighed in at 25,000 pounds ! I am beginning to wonder how much $$ was paid by Toyota to claim that the "trailer" weighed that much. C'Mon now ..do they expect a diesel owner to actually fall for this claim, especially using a gasser non the less a Tundra ??-:t




..........................Yeah........right....... .............

I was there also and started laughing when he said that... Even though the truck looked good when I saw it outside, it looked like the ramp was going to snap the tundra in half if he had it hooked up any longer than they did... ):h):h):h):h

...Exactly. Brian (Hondarider552) also called me on that one as well. There were quite a few spectators around me heckling Toyota for that claim):idiot:. I was gettin' up and ready to execute an emergency tow with my DMAX :)

it was also funny how it took half an hour for the driver to dack up the ramp...
the hitch was almost dragging on the ground, and the front fig lights were pointed towards the roof.

Oh yeah and the best part which has not been mentioned yet is this same 25,000 pound ramp/trailer was adjusted into place (wiggled) by four guys working the floor.
