The tug of war starts with Mercedes trying to pull the Hummer. Both the vehicles are put in low range for maximum torque at lower rpms. Initially after looking at the power figures it seemed like Mercedes will be taking down the Hummer alone but, things went bad for Mercedes within seconds. G63 started losing traction on grass and the hummer started pulling the G63 towards the other side and their was nothing that driver could do.

In order to balance the weight in the equation, the presenter brought in Suzuki Jimny. Now both sides of the rope had 3.6 tons each ends. Even after having Jimny, more power and torque on one side, the presenter could not pull the Hummer and the H1 once again won the round by pulling not one but two cars on its side.

On the final round, they added more weight and power on one side by bringing in the Mitsubishi pickup truck. Now, all the three vehicles were trying hard to pull Hummer but they could not move it to their side even by an inch. With so much weight and power on one side, even the Hummer was finding it difficult to pull. Cars on both side did not move even by an inch this time. To give it a last shot, all the SUVs including engage in high ratio and still could not move the H1 even by an inch. After many failed attempts and realizing that how tough Hummer actually is, presenter finally declares Hummer as the winner.
