Agreed. Pulling with a light truck is ignorant. I don't mean any offense, but I've done a LOT of yanking cars and it's just not a good idea. Will it do it? Sure. But there is so much more to towing than what something can pull. The most important part is not getting it going but getting it stopped. I don't care what anyone says, light trucks and even many 1/2 ton's are not properly equipped to stop large loads. Like Tommy says, put it on a grade and see what happens too. Outside of Columbus the world isn't flat.
And Eric, I love you and you know it, but advising someone to pull with another car? You need your head examined.
