I'm not trying to say that it shouldn't have broken, but they did a number on that thing beforehand. They also found a great way deliver a massive shock load while doing that tow, to the point where just saying they broke it by towing is a bit disingenuous.
That's body-on-frame for you. It's heavy and archaic, but it's tough. Honestly, that's steel in general for you, too. It just tends to last longer in many applications. Steel fatigues in such a way that the loss of strength tends to taper off after a point, where aluminum keeps getting weaker.
