It's a commercial.
See the bottom right hand side of the screen for a couple of seconds at the start, and the comments..

I was going to call BS....
Landing speed for an airplane like that is around 140 kts (160mph) and it weighs something like 60,000 lbs (w/o gas)

Yup. Nissan commercial. An airplane would have crushed the truck, and any truck that would have supported the weight of the plane wouldn't have been able to get enough speed for the plane to drop the nose gear onto the bed.

Not saying its real or not. But you do have to think about the dynamics of it. You can get a truck up to those speeds. And most of the weight of a plane is near the center, not the front. The front is relatively light considering the full weight. A lot of trucks are rated up to hauling 10,000lbs in the bed...and anything over that just voids the warranty.
