Built Ford Tough-Doing Testing

Today’s news, someone decided to test the slogan, to see if their F150 was actually tough, so he drove around Kansas City for 3 hours, on the interstate, through the median and backyards, while being chased by police and filmed by news helicopters. In his testing, he discovered that you can drive an F150 on the rim until it wears down. Who needs tires?! I’m not clear on the results of testing the driving with a broken front drive shaft. I think the Ford pickup passed the abuse test.

Ford, Do you want to use this in future advertising? F150, the vehicle to have if you want to run from the police!

Wore down the rim, F150 still going

Can you drive, with front driveshaft broken, if you're being chased by police?

That's an 11-16 SuperDuty

He somehow ripped the knuckle off at the BJ's...that's a snapped stub shaft (axleshaft). Crazy
