This video gives you an idea of the grueling paces every new model of Ford Truck is put through in order to wear the Super-Duty badge. The testing phase doesn't just simulate job sites, it simulates worst-case scenarios - then multiplies them by five.
As one customer in the video says "they're trying to break these trucks". The test vehicles are assaulted by everything from Mojave heat to arctic cold. Their suspensions are pummeled by 50 m.p.h passes over courses rutted by dirt moguls. Tests that would smash lesser trucks to shards are run hundreds,thousands of times. They're trying to break these trucks. Super-Duties are made for towing first. At a mind-blowing 925 pound-feet of torque the question isn't what they can tow, it's if they can do it without snapping axles and blowing up transmissions. After 12 million miles of load-bearing road tests there's no question they can, at a stunning capacity of 32,500 pounds.
Check out the video and see real customers reactions to the Ford Tough philosophy in action.
