A Top Truck should do everything well, and towing ability is part of that. The vehicles you should hang with if yours breaks down can pull a loaded dump truck up a small dirt hill from a dead stop. We never know just how much that dump truck weighs, but it's a lot. And the Tow Test hill may be short, but it sure is steep. Defying gravity such as this would logically favor a heavy vehicle with much torque and contact pressure (narrow and/or aggressive tires), and it indeed does. The heavy-hitters here have been an M715 Kaiser, a Quagmire, a Hummer, and a pair of F-350s. Still, the little ones have done amazingly well too.
