crummer Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 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....
