I wonder how many vertebra, had compression fractures after that jump!!??
Yeah, at times when master of puppets or slayer comes on, i slam it in sport mode, and safely hit 100 or more. But not always. Unlike NASCAR, I personally have to fix what i break. No access to a garage crew.

Same, I'd never offer up my sins on a public forum ? but someone out there can tell between Google and Ford.

I'm not sure I'd say I drive the snot out of it, but I'm not afraid to spool up the turbo with regularity and I do use my truck as a truck, even going so far as to overload it just to see how it responded (it complied with no complaints).

Thus far, over 4 years in and almost 40k I've had no issues with it. It has done EVERYTHING I've asked of it without complaint. I'm very pleased.

I'm a very slow driver, but I'm just really curious about this. We must have some lead foot drivers in here.

There's a school of thought that says "a redline a day keeps the mechanic away" although I'm not sure that's true. ?

Lol have you seen the end of that video? That Raptor did not survive. Idiots thought it was a trophy truck or something.

Context if anyone hasn’t seen this video that should be in the YouTube hall of fame:

Can you jump a Raptor 90 feet? Sure. Once.
Not only did he destroy the truck, but I heard the guy broke his back or his neck when he landed it...

Oh I've seen the video lol. But the thumbnail reminds me of...

"Just a good old boys
Never meanin' no harm
Beats all you never saw
Been in trouble with the law since the day they was born..." ?
Reminds me I've been meaning to sail the high seas to nab that one...

But, Dave's Ranger has a damper and has multiple coats of 303. 303 makes it much more aerodynamic, letting it flow thru the air "smoother" due to the lack of contaminants which disturb the flow, and the damper takes up the shock of hard landings.....
The 303 also prevents all damage. We know Dave skipped a day using it because MP1 was totaled.
