I thought there was some smoke and mirrors for the comercial but it appears they actually did it.

I'm not a big truck guy but I LOVE the new Tundra. If I needed a truck, I wouldn't think twice about anything else. And that commercial is sweet!

How much weight does that pulley take off the total load? Isn't there some equation to determine how much force to weight ratio the pully provides?

I think they used a diesel hi-lux in the top gear episode, which is a tacoma. Also a great truck though.
