It's not, because sheer force on a part not meant to handle that much sheer force is irrelevant to towing which is force in a different direction.

That's the problem with the video. The test they did has nothing to do with towing capacity. If they strapped the truck down and used a tractor to pull on the hitch, that would be a legitimate test.

But they did something that seems like a legitimate test to people who don't really know much about physics, which gets views and has people spread misinformation.

When you lie to prove a point, you're just cheapening that point.

Edit: Lol, you people are ridiculous. You're no better than Musk/Trump worshipers; throwing logic and reason out the window for hate.

Nah dog, the presence of people with intention to tow somehow gives credence to this test, and all other towing tests in general, it seems.
