What We Think
These days, YouTubers use tug of war to assess the capabilities of two vehicles. However, this approach might not be entirely beneficial, as such competitions can have lasting effects on the cars. Typically, cars are not driven in this manner with hard acceleration in a straight line. Therefore, conducting such scenarios with personal cars is not advisable, considering safety concerns and potential damage to the vehicle’s mechanics. We strongly advise our readers against participating in such stunts. Tug of wars don’t represent the full picture since daily driving rarely involves such aggressive manoeuvres. Prioritizing safety and the long-term well-being of your car should be the main focus.
