One of the most amazing towing attempts happened in 2012 when the space shuttle Endeavour had to be transported from Los Angeles Airport to the California Science Center. And the vehicle they used to tow Endeavour? The Toyota Tundra CrewMax 4×4, equipped with a 5.7-liter V8 engine good for 381 hp.

According to the official number, the Tundra’s upper towing limit was 10,000 lbs. Guess how much did the shuttle weigh? More than 150,000 lbs, plus the necessary towing equipment that had more than 120,000 pounds.
