Well if the silverado had road tyres, normal suspension and was in 4wd it would have pulled the touareg, the silverado has quite a lot more torque

Point is, Silverado does not have all that so cannot outpull the Toureg, so the extra torque is in effect wasted.
Just an example of substance over brawn

I thought that was a bit risky too as there were a fair few forces at work, I know, I would have been standing well clear
