New Toyota Tundra commercial states truck pulls 150,00 pound space shuttle. How low was the gear in that truck rated @ 381 hp to pull the shuttle.

 

On another note, great advertising on Toyota's part. Not everyday the opportunity arises to pull a part of history....

It was designed for Americans, built in America, and only sold in America. That makes it more American than the silverados or f150s made in Canada or Mexico

 

Ditto.

 

Though I checked my particular truck and it was assembled in KC, MO.

More info: Looks like they used low range on a fairly stock truck..... No big deal for the Yota as it could tow anything for 100 yards?

More detail here with the engineers and needing roughly 400 ft/lbs torque to get the job done.
