Guy Wastes No Time Roasting the Tires on His New 2017 Super Duty

Most of us tend to, well, baby our new trucks when we drive them off the lot.  At least for a few weeks. With the big money investment you’re making, it makes all the sense in the world to treat your new truck with baby gloves.

“Baby” isn’t exactly the word this guy had in mind when he took possession of his brand spankin’ new 2017 Super Duty, a truck so new that they are just rolling onto dealer lots.  No, he wanted to see just what kind of burnout machine 925 lb-ft of torque could produce.

It’s an insane number, for sure, one that puts it right up there with a freaking 18-wheeler.  And as you can imagine, it makes destroying a set of tires even easier than it was before.  The big diesel lights up the rear meats with ease, keeping it going for 20+ seconds.

Any longer would probably result in an expensive tire bill, but you can’t put a price on fun.  So while the specs on the new Super Duty are impressive, you can now take note of the most important feature of all – yes, it will produce endless, smoky burnouts at will.  Just save up a bit of extra money for tires when you’re planning out your budget.
