I dont believe for a second it did, keep in mind it was marketing engine oil. Like pretty much everything else these days . . . . . scripted.

That is not really a tug, it is a shallow water workboat. A real tug would have parted that line easily. The offshore deepwater tugs I worked around had 2 EMD's as in two train engines. Nice vid, but not even close to the real deal. The tugs that work the Houston ship channel would have pulled that truck off the dock just above idle.

I used to work at a dock and our boat was 900hp. Would pull that truck right in the drink. Theres very little prop wash and no smoke whatsoever. I call bs!

On a side note, poor poor clutch

It ended when the tug went sideways. Also, the truck had a massive advantage from its elevation. The harder the tug pulled, the better the truck planted.
