Thumbs up Ford Does it Again
Haven't posted on here in a long time, but after seeing this story on the local DFW news, had to share with people that I know would appreciate it.

I wouldn't have snapped the strap like that with my truck but that's me, you don't know how heavy that trailer was. at the guy jumping in the bed of the truck while its moving.

Not in the F250 forum! Thanks for posting this for us FtWorth150! Most of us Super Duty owners don't go to the "Street Scene" forum, whatever that means.

Sorry mlamprey, didn't mean to double post, just didn't see it there (guess I never looked in street scene).

No worries freekyFX4, figure a few people would like to see it.

Very cool!!

Darkshadow, snapping the tow strap is the only way to get something that heavy moving when you do not have the traction to just pull it. I have had to do it with some of our big trucks.

Heck, no need to apologize to me. A double post on the matter is no skin off my nose.
I think it belongs in this forum much more then the "street scene" forum.

About 4 years ago a UPS truck got stuck in my ditch and I offered to pull him out, and he said it was against company policy. Oh well.

I know, I've done it before but would rather not if at all possible.
