Tundra shows a Chevy how it's done!

That's radical.

 

I may be showing my ignorance here, and I am CERTAINLY not a Chevy fan, but aren't the tires the critical component in this hill climb? Did the Chevy just not have the right tires? Or did the Chevy not have enough torque/hp to make it up the hill, even with good tires?

 

it appears that the tundra has rear chains

 

That's bogus....it's all about the tires and traction...

 

The Yukon has a Duramax and Allison transplant and is running studded 35” General Grabber AT’s. The Toyota is stock with V chains on the back. Sliding down that hill was sure a butt munching experience. The original Toyota to climb the hill is one of the coolest Toyota’s I’ve seen. It has 13” lift while running 37” tires. He also had v chains. You can see the chain marks in the snow.

 

Yup. From the comments on YouTube:

Sliding down that hill was sure an ass clenching experience. The original Toyota to climb the hill is one of the coolest Toyota’s I’ve seen. It has 13” lift while running 37” tires.

Last year in Montana and not me
Tundy had to pull Chevy downhill,backwards from a snow pile!
Everyone watching was dying too laughing so hard!
