Talking Ever Do A Truck Pull?

I know it may seem redneck but I was wondering if anyone had ever done a truck pull? Blazers are on the smaller end of SUVs but they are pretty badass and me and a buddy with an S10 got bored tonight and had one. I won but I was wondering if anyone else has ever been daring enough to use a Blazer in a truck pull.

are you talking about a tug-a-war type thing between two trucks or an actual truck pull where your pulling a weighted sled like tractor pulls?

Sorry to hear that giovanni, diesel trucks are probably the best for it. Nvanzee I'm talking about a tug of war time so yes not really an actual truck pull.

I have wanted to try it sometime but nobody will ever go against me. I would only do it in dirt though. Way to much stress on both trucks if doing it on pavement. Also you better have one strong strap

Yes, I had jsut picked up an 8500 pound strap from the store so we tested it, didn't break, was on a very rough blacktop and we kinda messed it up but both trucks came out fine. However, it was only a Blazer against an S10, basically the same thing I think the S10 is a bit lighter.
