Truck and SUV manufacturers just love to show off their vehicles towing capacities in unusual ways.
In 2012, a Toyota Tundra hauled the Space Shuttle Endeavour across the Manchester Bridge in Los Angeles.
A few months ago,Porsche set a Guinness record by towing double-decker Airbus A380 42 meters using a Cayenne S Diesel.

Now Land Rover's newest Discovery gets a turn at towing greatness,in this case towing a 121tons Australian road train,which is a semi truck with multiple trailers.

This road train is seven trailers,plus the semi-truck and some ballast.
The total weight of 242,000 pounds is about 31 times the 7,716-pound towing capacity of the diesel Discovery.
Also interesting to note is that the diesel Discovery has a slightly lower maximum towing capacity than the petrol-powered version,which is rated up to 8,201 pounds.

As you can see in the video above,the Land Rover managed to move the huge line of trailers 10 miles and hit a top speed of 27 mph.This stunt was done with the diesel Discovery,which uses a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 making 254 horsepower and 443 pound-feet of torque.
So Land Rover’s point is that the Discovery are built to do the extremes.

Even with the marketing hype,I can say I’m honestly impressed.
What do you think about the stunt?

It's Only In Nigeria That 'How Far' Has Nothing To Do With Distance

okay.... so we should fry tomatoes....

Wonderful

This is terrific and wonderful

Interesting,
But I wanna use tricycle tow trailer

powerful suv

Bubu,the daura cow,is a terrorist

Now this car is bae and powerful. Not those useless Nigerian military men that show power with civilians.

That's how stupidity, tribalism and sectionalism are pulling Buhari's brain.

I'm awed

I'm impressed

I am sure the transmission is manual

That's good but the white man buys it only to use it for what it can do but the black man buys it to put it in the garage and upload the pictures on social media

Hmn


See liver

OK.. .leme go and save money to buy the car so I will start helping all this trailers to tow their vehicles when it breaks down.

Come and try it on Nigerian Roads

Hmmmn, DAT road slope come down small . make dem come do am for below

So ordinary V6 did this, I was at first thinking it might be V12 or at least V8. Na waaoo.

Welds will be weakened, engine, transfer case, differential, transmission will suffer.

Power demands respect!

Yesso

The road is smooth and sloppy even by just pushing or pulling the truck with 2 people's hand the truck would have moved. Try pulling the truck on a nigerian road even with catapillar and JCB put together it will not move

FP finally

Ruining a piece to sell a thousand others isn't a bad idea though.

Problem is, how many will buy that thousand others for its build purpose other than to do mall crawling, neighbourhood strolls et al?

Do you have that kind of truck/trailer in Nigeria? Did u read the brief spec of that trailer. Even Dangote will find it very hard to afford 2 of such trailer.

So if u give the Land Rover the kind of truck/trailer we have here, it will pull it very easily irrespective of our road.
Learn to appreciate innovations, high tech and every good thing so that one will come ur way.
