F-250 creeps through the long trench of deep water while showing off for the ladies.
This week’s Muddy Monday video comes to us from the Humman Off-Road Adventures YouTube channel and it features a high-riding Ford F-250 playing in the mud. This footage was captured at the Melbourne Mud Madnessin Canada back in June 2018 and while it looks like your average successful mud run, the unique aspect of the video is the fact that this truck is carrying five people through the slop.
Whole Lotta Truck
The video begins as the gigantic Ford F-250 rolls into the camera view and comes to rest, giving us a look at the rear end of the truck with the graphics of RPM Designs on the tailgate and the statement “Get noticed”. There is no question that this truck gets noticed, even in a crowd of purpose-built mud trucks.
There are no details on this Ford truck, but it clearly has an elaborate chassis and suspension built that allows it to wear the huge tractor tires. As the F-250 prepares to tackle the water, a Jeep Cherokee with big tires drives by in the background and the Ford’s body is above the roofline of the SUV, showing just how high this Super Duty sits.
Carrying a Crowd
This Ford F-250 has a large cab configuration with plenty of room in the back seat. In most cases, rear seat space doesn’t come into play when you are off-roading, but in this case, it allows the owner to load a trio of ladies into the truck for some fun in the mud. The driver even creeps through the mud and at low speed, there is no mud slung into the open windows, so the girls likely stayed clean during this run.
The video ends with the truck parking and the guys helping the three girls jump down from the massive Ford truck.
"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.
