One thing I can clearly see is that the 08 superduty driver was the only one who could actually drive. The red superduty put up a very good fight until the drive shaft broke.

4x4 SD breaks front.......
Video #5 has a "Ford Trucks" sign there, looks like this was done at a dealer. Also the same video shows the red SD breaking a front drive shaft or U-joint (i cant see the picture very well). Sadly enough this might be the weakest part of the 4x4 SD (even with that said, Ford still spanks the competition). Here is another video of this happening:

LOL soon as i saw the chevy vs. Ford pulloff video, i KNEW the chevy would break..

sure enuf..

how anyone owns one of those ****eheaps is beyond me.. they must love going to the dealership for repair visits or something...

luved the last Dodge being dragged backwards brakes locked and he preloaded BIGtime..

p.s. the red Ford didnt so much break the drive shaft as it looked like he popped it apart, prolyl cuz he never had it lengthened to accomodate the big lift..

that 08 SD sure pulled like a champ thou.. wonder if it was indeed weighted down...and even if it were, it sure as hell didnt break..

GO team Ford...

good thing i werent there..i would have been laffing and finger pointing till the cops were called...

Youtube can be entertaining but mostly its a joke and filled with 16-18YO boys. Tug of wars and alot of pull offs and such have so many variables I ignore them.

I know this is probably a Ford dealership, but I don't know if you guys have seen the other dealership videos, but they are 100% biased. The Toyota ones, I think. They let the other driver start smoking their tires before the Toyota lets off the brakes. DUH.

But, these videos seem to really try to compare. It showed one thing: It's damn tough.

Makes me want an F250 or F350. Not much worse mileage, yet WEIGHT. I love heavy vehicles. I'd like to be in something 8000+ lbs. That's one tough truck in the vids. Good front drive shaft set up.
