Ford F-250 Super Duty monster truck makes short work of every obstacle.
This week’s “Muddy Monday” video comes to us from the CarWarz YouTube channel and it features a Ford Super Duty mega truck named the Demon. For a purpose-built mud truck, this F-250 is in surprisingly good shape, but don’t let that pretty face fool you. This high-riding ¾-ton is all business in the mud, cruising through every obstacle that it encounters.
The Demon
There are no details on this Ford Super Duty from the Nightmare Racing Team accompanying the video, but this is a case where the picture is worth a thousand words. While the body appears to be relatively factory-spec, the sheet metal and the frame are likely the only parts of this truck that came from a Ford plant. The F-250 has a massive chassis and suspension build, with what sounds like a heavily-built V8 gas engine under the hood.
In addition to all of the key functional components, this Super Duty was built with aesthetics in mind, with the bright white body paint with the green “Demon” decals coupled with the matching green trim throughout the undercarriage.
As mega mud trucks go, this one is very nice. It could probably fit in at many car shows after a good bath, but as the video shows, his F-250 is built to perform.
Making it Look Easy
Over the course of this two-minute video, the high-riding F-250 tackles a couple different mud holes, none of which are any real challenge for this beastly Super Duty. Although the mud appears to be deep enough to swallow an average street truck, the Demon cruises right through each obstacle without breaking a sweat.
The truck has tow straps hanging from the front and rear in case it needs to be pulled out, but that must be a formality, as this Ford F-250 clearly isn’t going to have any troubles in this venue.
"Before I was old enough to walk, my dad was taking me to various types of racing events, from local drag racing to the Daytona 500," says Patrick Rall, a lifetime automotive expert, diehard Dodge fan, and respected auto journalist for over 10 years. "He owned a repair shop and had a variety of performance cars when I was young, but by the time I was 16, he was ready to build me my first drag car – a 1983 Dodge Mirada that ran low 12s. I spent 10 years traveling around the country, racing with my dad by my side. While we live in different areas of the country, my dad still drag races at 80 years old in the car that he built when I was 16 while I race other vehicles, including my 2017 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat and my 1972 Dodge Demon 340.
"Although I went to college for accounting, my time in my dad’s shop growing up allowed me the knowledge to spend time working as a mechanic before getting my accounting degree, at which point I worked in the office of a dealership group. While I was working in the accounting world, I continued racing and taking pictures of cars at the track. Over time, I began showing off those pictures online and that led to my writing.
"Ten years ago, I left the accounting world to become a full-time automotive writer and I am living proof that if you love what you do, you will never “work” a day in your life," adds Rall, who has clocked in time as an auto mechanic, longtime drag racer and now automotive journalist who contributes to nearly a dozen popular auto websites dedicated to fellow enthusiasts.
"I love covering the automotive industry and everything involved with the job. I was fortunate to turn my love of the automotive world into a hobby that led to an exciting career, with my past of working as a mechanic and as an accountant in the automotive world provides me with a unique perspective of the industry.
"My experience drag racing for more than 20 years coupled with a newfound interest in road racing over the past decade allows me to push performance cars to their limit, while my role as a horse stable manager gives me vast experience towing and hauling with all of the newest trucks on the market today.
