00:00 Fellas, what are we doing?

00:01 - We are weighing our 2023 Commander XT700.

00:06 (upbeat music)

00:10 - All right.

00:15 - We weigh every rig that comes through the shop

00:19 and this is one of them.

00:21 So we're gonna find out exactly how much she weighs.

00:25 - And in order to do that, we're gonna play a little game,

00:27 a little prices right rules.

00:30 Everybody guesses the weight closest to the pin

00:32 wins the honor of winning.

00:35 So youngest goes first.

00:39 Gage, what do you think?

00:40 - 1800 pounds.

00:41 - 1800 pounds.

00:42 - 1800 pounds.

00:43 - 1800 pounds.

00:45 - All right, okay, all right.

00:47 - Bowman.

00:48 - 1801.

00:50 - 1801.

00:51 - One dollar, Bob.

00:52 - Guy's going.

00:52 - One dollar, Bob.

00:53 - 1801.

00:54 All right, always with that.

00:55 You're that guy.

00:56 - 1575, I'm going 1575 pounds.

01:01 - Okay, hold up, hold up.

01:03 You think this wrecking rig that can tow 2000 pounds,

01:07 that can hold 600 pounds in the bed,

01:09 four wheel drive with a rear locker

01:11 is less than 1600 pounds?

01:12 - Yep.

01:14 Yeah, I do, I do.

01:15 There ain't much to it, man.

01:16 She's not big.

01:17 - Not big, she's a smelt girl.

01:19 All right, let's find out.

01:20 - All righty, fire it up and get it up there.

01:22 (gunshot)

01:25 - Full tank of fuel.

01:26 - Full tank of fuel.

01:28 Just ready to run.

01:31 All right, we're up there.

01:41 Survey says...

01:43 (humming)

01:46 1662 pounds, 61 pounds.

01:51 Look at all the fuel sloshing.

01:53 - 1661.

01:54 - 1661, my stars.

01:57 All right, well that makes me the winner.

01:58 (groaning)

02:00 Shame on both of y'all.

02:02 1575, so 16 hundred and, no, 1661 pounds.

02:07 So yes, I was right.

02:12 This rig that can tow 2000 pounds,

02:15 that'll hold 600 pounds in the bed,

02:17 that is a reasonably capable trail rig, weighs less.

02:22 I don't even know what that's, that's less than that Jeep.

02:25 That's less than, it's nothing.

02:28 It doesn't weigh anything.

02:30 - Okay, so Aaron, that brings up the question,

02:34 why someone would choose a 700 over a 1000?

02:37 What is one of those reasons?

02:38 - One of those reasons is that it weighs

02:40 16 hundred and 60 pounds with fuel in it.

02:43 That is going to mean that you can tow it

02:46 with just about anything with a tow hitch on it.

02:48 I mean...

02:50 - Including some things that you wouldn't

02:51 typically think of, right?

02:53 - Yep.

02:54 - So, a minivan, something along the lines of

02:56 Ford Escape, a GTJ like Gage owns here.

03:00 None of those things are gonna really push past

03:02 the tow ratings on a lot of those vehicles,

03:04 which is great.

03:05 - Yep, Mazda CX-5 would tow that all day long

03:07 with a little yard trailer.

03:09 And, you know, if you got a bigger tow rig

03:12 that you cut the overdrive off to tow or whatever

03:15 for a heavier load, might just be able to leave it,

03:18 just tow it, it weighs a little enough.

03:20 - Yeah, way better fuel economy.

03:21 So, yeah, that's why you'd choose that.
