That's a lot of truck to bring up that crack. It's way more impressive when you're standing in it and realize how steep it really is. Pretty impressive!
Not really. You are just used to seeing a bunch of tryhards with money in their jeeps overbuild the shit out of things so they can tackle "big obstacles".
This is a true testament to the statement that off road ability has more to do with the driver than with the vehicle. I bet that most of the people with tricked out jeeps wouldn't be able to do this. Great driver.
Go watch junkyard digs off road challenge. Guys on there using beat to shit trucks from the 90s back with regular tires and less than 1000$ put into them. Proving your point
I did this in a bone stock TJ Rubicon ten years or so ago. No spotter. I am not there to let some one else tell me how to drive unless I get myself in trouble. I did Hells revenge. Poison spider and some others alone. I camped out there and did some at night.
Fun fact: those were all bystanders I did not know. My friends I traveled with mostly stayed silent and the action speak for itself. The naysayers were definitely the icing in this video.
I'm a flantlander who wants to wheel out west and there's no way I'm doing that without decent time behind the wheel and probably still not in my stock f150. Kudos to driver and spotter!
I've got to give 90% of the credit to the spotter in these climbs. I'm not taking away from the driver. He kept cool and did an excellent job following the instructions. I just wonder if anyone ever does these extremely difficult climbs without anyone helping them. I'm stressed just watching it and imagining if I was in the driver seat, lol. I could never do it. Kudos to you guys.
Never having walked the trail one could never do it with out help A. Theres no view of what your driving over 90 percent of the way up, that hood is in the air blocking everything and the ground slopes down further beneath what you can see from driver seat, but there are great drivers out there who are one with their machine and "obstacle" just isn't in the dictionary....
Was there bull balls 🐂 hanging off the back that's how he made it up that 😂 he's got balls I work ag and they got those on most all the trucks in that area
I had a bit of deja vu at the beginning of this video when I heard you say "basically a bone-stock F-250". Then I realized I was standing right next to you when you said it! I was the guy flying the drone. 😆
The lady's quote of the driver "he said "I am from Texas, I do not care."" was absolutely hilarious. I laughed and then had to give that man and the state of Texas props!
Video or tv, flattens landscapes out quite a bit. You wouldn’t want to start tumbling up top because you probably wouldn’t stop until you hit the bottom. Great stuff, Ford, good driver and spotter team. It is amazing what 4x4’s can actually do.
I'm glad that some people truly put a "Super" Duty to the test. It was great on torque and I am guessing he has left foot braking, which is what you want. That 6.2 wasn't bothered in the least bit. I must go there!!
@@vaquero_solutions I love that truck as well. Rather simple and with hidden power. My work had one from 2011 on. (They still have it). A lot of times the winter is at its worst in the beginning because people aren't practiced. We pulled out a 16,000-pound recycling truck that slid at an angle into the ditch. When one of the guys stomped on it, I heard from my car from a good distance and it sounded like a monster. I will achieve earning a 6.2 in the next couple of years. It's funny, my '03 F-150 5.4 2-valve sound damn good from the low end and thinks it's a big block!! LOL Ford is #1 because they have the best variety, and plain out, do not go away for nothing. It's obvious when generations of Ford families continue to buy Ford F-series. #1. I don't walk around with hatred in my heart so those other brands are great in their own way. But, they just don't have that certain character. Even a Cummins (that's not even Dodge or RAM. It's a tractor motor.
In a situation like that if you don't have a locker, the trick is to ride the brake enough to stop the free-wheel. Yes, it takes some skill to modulate it but using that technique has saved me more than once.
This reminds me of driving on logging roads in coastal BC. I had never used 4 low before until then and oh boy did I learn quickly it was a useful asset on the ford.
