Having in mind what a Ford Power Stroke as a name means in the trucks world, we suspect that something can destroy this beast. Maybe irregular maintenance or extreme overload can do this destruction task but only if the owner allows this.

Many of these hard tasks the Ford Power Stroke can handle thanks to its brave heart, a 7.3-liter Powerstroke turbo diesel V8 engine with 275HP and 525lb-ft of torque. Enough torque power to pull heavy loads. When we say heavy loads by that we mean towing them independently and not overload the truck chassis with huge amount because you can break the rear axle and many things can go wrong.

Our 2005 Ford F350 is not in the heavy lifters class but it has the heavy lifting spirit hidden under the hood. Its owner decided to test the rear-end endurance with Peterbilt COE. The owner attached a trailer to its truck and with the help of lifter he loads the Peterbilt on the towing trailer. We don’t know what he wanted to achieve with placing the Peterbilt on the front of the trailer and transferring the whole pressure on the rear tires of the Ford.

Like first, that is not safe! And second, the Ford Power Stroke can pull that amount of load but can the rear tires handle that massive pressure? Also, the front wheel traction will be lost because of the bad distribution of the weight and all the remaining towing power will be only on the rear axle. What do you think, can this load cause the rear differential to break or the truck will start moving slowly?

Take a look at the video and comment us. We think that the owner wanted only to test his truck power but he broke something and cut the video only on the loading process.
