me and my buddy we talkin
we both have 2006 f150 screw
my buddy said he was talkin to a guy with a s10 that has some ridiculous huge tires he says he can float the truck in the pond where we off road by. We were both curious of this is possible. If it is how big of a tire would ya need to float an f150?
any ideas
thanks yall

 

yeah it's possible some monster trucks can float. and check out this monster beetle floating. i would figure it would take tires bigger than these for a heavy f150. unless that guy has like very very wide 60+ in. tires then i doubt it.

^^this guy knows all about floating stuff.. He has an obsession with pontoons also

 

damn you. i had seen you posted in this thread and i knew it would be something about pontoons.

 

aahh gotcha yea the guy is runnin 50 inch tires so i doubt he can float his truck
pontoons?

 

66's should float a regular cab short bed.

50's depending on what tire exactly could possibly float a light s10

 

haha so for a f150 supercrew 5.5 bed ill need like 80's haha never happening
thanks for the input i thought i was right

 

haha the pontoons is a joke the he talks about. i started a thread awhile back trying to figure out what size truck tires i could put on my fourwheeler to make it float and he kept suggesting pontoons. lol

haha yeah you would need some big ones.

 

pontoons are different haha
just use spray in floating foam we use it in boats all the time

 

Bigfoot #1 floated. It weighted 11,000lbs and ran 66" ag tires

The difference from Shortbed Reg cab to Super Crew 5.5' bed isnt THAT much. Im almost 100% sure that 66's would float any cab/ bed configuration F150.

Just got to make sure you keep the truck balanced front to rear and left to right. REally easy to flip or roll over when floating (ive seen it happen a few times)

 

Wish I had a way to post it up but I have a vhs from the 80's where they are racing monster trucks across a lake haha

 

haha cant help you on that one.

look up Papa Smurf its a BLUE FORD he takes it across a lake

 

Holy smokes...Youtube has everything!

Jump to minute 5! (i'm diggin the 80's hairdo on the chick hahaha)
Minute 7 shows what happens when they're unbalanced lol
