I did some research, and from what I can tell, at that stage of landing, the airplane would be traveling between 150 and 180 miles per hour.

I doubt that truck can reach that speed.

Any pilots out there are welcome to correct my numbers.

Google the minimum weight of something like a 737 at minimum weight....approximately 40,000 kg.......even for most of the weight on the back wheel’s I think it would have crushed the rear suspension of the truck...If that really was the Nissan doing that, it was all a kinetic time snap....I’d bet a bunch that suspension was crushed when they rolled to a stop and the weight three pointed fully....

150 and 180 miles per hour.

The version of truck in the commercial comes with factory installed after-burners. 180 is within operating specs. /snicker
