nice!


Goes to show ya what weight and tires are all about.


Now way would I let my Jeep be a ****** block for a F450 and a bus.

 

All right someone go get a bus stuck. I wanna try....

 

She did say f450. But, also, as a former and probably again a future jeep owner, I must come to the defense of the little jeep (which was probably a 4 banger) You can't really compare a 4 banger jeep that weighs in the vicinity of 3300 pounds to the massive hound known as the F series Fx4. Thats like comparing a .22 to a .45 in respect to which causes more damage. ANd it was an effin bus too! Although, I still send props to the F series owner for the ability to pull the both of them out!

 

Cool video!

I'm all Gung Hoe for Ford too.
But.... I have to give credit where credit is due.
That Jeep was doing a pretty good job on it's own. Wasnt going to get the job done, but doubtful anything short of a semi tow rig with a winch would by it's self.

Also that likely wasn't lockers on that Jeep. It was probably stock. Jeep undoubtably has the best 4x4 system from the factory. It was a rare event for my old stock Cherokee to not spin all 4 tires. You litterally had to have one side off the ground first.

Still amazing that they were able to do it even together. The average transit bus dry curb weight, weighs about 29,000 lbs on the curb empty. They said that there were passengers so lets be conservative and say that the 60 passenger bus only had 20 passengers on it and each passenger only weighed 150 lbs. That's another 3000 lbs not counting if they have any luggage, bags, purses, or any carry ons. So 29,000 + 3000 = 32,000 lbs. That's not counting fuel, oil, transmission fluid, etc.
The buss looks to be having to be pulled up hill. I dont think that anything would pull 32,000 lbs up hill, on ice, by it's self? Even a normal Tow Truck with winch would have had trouble winching that; it probably would have slid on the ice torwards the bus instead. If it wasn't for the bus, the Jeep and the Ford working together trying to grab traction then it never would have happened.

The HD would have came closer to doing it by it's self just for the PSI of it's foot print. Narrow tires are a huge advantage in those conditions. That's why my winter tires are always narrower than my summer tires.

 

Good thing the guy in the jeep didn’t accidentally on purpose have it in reverse when they were both hook up for the pull

 

What are you talking about,he DID have it in reverse.

 

Built ford tough!

 

That was really cool. But give the Jeep a break. At least he tried.
