F-150 Tows the Line Between Genius and Madness

Champion F-150 turns ‘Hold my beer’ scenario into ‘Raise your glass!’

If you saw this F-150 on the road hauling a mountain of cargo a few things might cross your mind. One being “This guy is crazy.” Or maybe just, “Ahhh!!!” A die hard Ford truck fan might say, “It’s cool. It’s a F-150. He’s got this” But, you’d still probably (or definitely) change lanes.

When Reddit user Live in Phreedom witnessed this ambitious haul first hand, he did us all a favor by taking a picture and posting it on the Ford Trucks subreddit.

Now, we are in no way encouraging this risky haul, but–stay with us on this–the truck really looks pretty sound. The F-150 is level, coolly pushing the limits of the payload capacity without breaking a sweat, and the suspension system and overload springs are doing their job. There seems to be no sagging, and the F-150 made its haul without a problem.

What do you think? Genius or madness?
