This murdered-out F-350 lives up to its name with a brilliant on-street burnout.
This week’s Tire Smokin Tuesday comes to us from the YouTube account of Sky Wisecarver and it features a 2007 Ford F-350 Super Duty Outlaw Edition doing a short, smoky burnout. This footage was captured at the McMillen Tire Services car show in Zanesville, Ohio in October 2017, and the resulting cloud of smoke surely made this big truck a crowd-pleaser.
The F-350 Outlaw
Back in 2007, Ford Motor Company cooked up the Lariat Outlaw edition for the F-350 Super Duty pickup. This package included all sorts of gloss black paint, including the grille, bumpers, door handles and side mirrors, with a red stripe running down each side of the body. There were also some unique chrome bits, including the side step bars and the exhaust tip.
On the inside, the Outlaw F-350 came with black leather seats with red trim, black carpeting, a black center console and fully-blacked out plastic trim.
This package was only available with the Crew Cab and short bed configuration, as well as the 6.0-liter PowerStroke diesel engine and four-wheel-drive.
Outlaw Smokes the Tires
In the case of the 2007 F-350 Outlaw in the video above, it has a custom wheel/tire package, a lift kit and some engine upgrades. We don’t know the extent to which the engine has been modified, but the amount of black smoke pouring from the exhaust makes it clear that at least a few upgrades have been made to the engine.
In any case, this F-350 has gobs of torque, allowing it to do a smoky burnout for the spectators of the McMillen Tire Services car show. Even with the huge tires out back, this diesel-powered Super Duty easily roasts the rear tires, creating all sorts of white smoke while the worked engine creates a ton of black smoke.
"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.
