Does an Acadia have more pulling power than F-150?

Two trees, died at the same time due to lightning.
Tree 1: I hooked a cable to it and the other end to my Acadia 3.6L V6 FWD. I pulled it over in 5 seconds.
Tree 2: I hooked a cable to it and the other end to my F-150 5.0L RWD with locking differential. I pulled from multiple directions and it's still standing.
Tree 2 stronger than Tree 1 even though they were very similar?
FWD has a big advantage over RWD?
What happened?

branch will snap.
Tie one end of the rope to the selected branch
Tie the other end of the rope around your neck
Jump off of the branch while pulling your legs up to your chest to gain maximum velocity.
The sudden yank of your body weight will pull the tree over, so that you can cut it up and craft various dent pullers out of it.

You need to shorten that rope to get a good pull.

You want to be within about 10 feet or so of the trunk for best results.

but today, I learn that you do not. Do you not know how to fell a tree?
Also, my other thought is how mad I was when my wife said she was going to get an Acadia. She came home with the new smaller version and I wanted to just cry. Good thing she hated it too and got rid of it in about 2 years. Looks like you got the larger version.

I didn't want that to happen with me under it.
No, this was the smaller version, 2018. I really liked it except for second and third row room. Everything else was solid.
