All the truck guys will say is that the Duramax didn't have traction. Personally I think it's driver error on the Chevy's part. I saw that video a while ago though. Found this article about it.

Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.

It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?"

Over 550 AWD ft lbs does it. Haha.

Truck owners. Do not take on something that will embarrass you.
He will never live this down. It would have been perfect if his Mom was in the VW. Ha Ha.

That's the nature of truck owners like that. Gotta compensate for smaller other things in life.

Aside from the dumba$$ comment above, this video was impressive. The VW beating the Chevy at it's own game ha!...
