Hard workin' F150.

So I'm driving home from work yesterday and I see this work truck F150 chuggin along up the steep grade of the Francis Scott Key bridge. He looked pretty loaded down, P rated tires ballooning out, rear end dropped way down. As I got closer, I couldn't believe how the cab was separated from the bed like this (see below).

That's odd looking. Could the frame be bent? It looks like he could probably use a super duty...

It's a v6 F150 too... those things are like military grade tanks. That frame can be straightened for a couple hundred bucks.

He was driving it like a bat outta hell too! He was actually passing me in that pic.

Jeez, that guy has bigger balls then any of us! irst he over loads his truck, then he speeds, but worst of all he does it on the Key Bridge. That part of the beltway is a Police shooting gallery, as the Maryland State Police and Transportation Authority Police don't mess around!

The frame isn't bent, the bed is bending/falling apart around the frame from all of the weight on it.

Pushing that truck to the limit. I agree, don't buy second hand company trucks...it's the same thing with rentals, people push them to the limit just because they can. Did you know a Ford focus will do close to 75mph in first gear before it starts to smell funny?

I was surprised at first but then I noticed you were heading to Pasadena and that explained it all. I'm wondering how you know those were P metric tires @ 50 or 60 mph and not under inflated LR Cs or something similar.

Well, let's see... it's a bare bones 97-03 F150 (which mostly all came stock with P rated tires) with a 4.2 V6 owned by a company that obviously does not take care of the truck. I'd venture to say that the owner of this truck did not shell out the cash for a higher rated tire. Since you seem to be familiar with the area, I will also add that I got a pretty good look at the tires when we both slowly approached the toll lane but I can't say for sure that they were P rated tires. Sorry to get your panties all in a wad while posting something funny I saw on the way home one day.
