Explorer Jumps over old Chevy


Sometimes it’s nice to watch an old, beaten truck breathe its last in a noble—and often cringe-inducing—airborne finale. Other times, it’s amazing to see it conquer all and live another day. These guys were brave enough (or crazy enough) to risk it all to determine if Ford trucks are truly better than Chevy’s. In this daring 65-foot jump, an old Ford Explorer leaps high above the one-ton Chevy below. Stunningly, the occupants walk away without even a sign of whiplash or a mere bruise. Sticking the landing and gracefully rolling down the opposing ramp, you can see the pride in the Ford as it takes a well-deserved victory lap. One can almost picture the Chevy breathing a shaky sigh of pure relief.
