Here’s the clip of the event. https://youtu.be/0QCe7ktx1o8?si=tL92Yf6bd780KSOJ

As I look at it again, it looks like maybe the effective weight being pulled is not always the full 40,000, but might be varied by the block on the rig moving forward to generate more downward force (weight) until the truck can’t pull it anymore. So this could be a situation where the CT gets out further faster (and thus with a lighter load) before the weight gets to the point where it can’t pull anymore. If that’s true, the actual terminal weight is an unknown and could be more or less than the F350.
