Smile Discovery Torque Overhaul Real or Fake?

Before I purchased my first Land Rover (98 Discovery) I did a little research online to get a general idea of the performance, capabiYouTube - Truck stuck in snow, rescued by little land rover discoverylities, reliability, endurance and the legacy. Of course I looked up tons of videos on YouTube as well and this one I just could not stop thinking about. Problem is I can't tell if its genuine or fake. Take a look and let me know what you think. Bare in mind that Discovery has around 233 torque where most other trucks have 300-350 ish torque.

If your not comfortable with going through unknown links then just go to YouTube and thee in:

There are a lot more factors involved in a recovery/towing that raw torque.
That video could be real.

yeah, and the semi isn't disabled or anything... it's still providing power.... it just doesn't have quite enough traction.

I agree, it's just helping. Look at the Tow Strap, that is not enough to pull a static Semi with.

You can have all the torque in the world but if you cant get it to the ground its useless.
