Ram Driver ‘Secures’ Ford F-150 STX To Flatbed

[AzScorpion]

Just be glad this isn't your Ranger! I've seen (I'm sure many have too) my share of things done so wrong you scratch your head wondering how/why people do things. Well this is one of those head scratching moments as to why would you secure a truck (or any vehicle) this way? ?‍

The poor owner is going to have some serious scratches on his hood. I hope he used a lot of 303 Graphene on it! ?

The video of this Ford F-150 STX and its questionable transportation surfaced on social media, and the cameraman recorded the scene in Texas. Right away, the video captures what appears to be a single ratchet strap holding the rear end of the truck down. Said strap isn’t even threaded through the wheels, where it should be – it’s fastened over the bed and tacked down on either side of the pickup.

A similar implement is present across the hood as well, and as if that’s not bad enough, it doesn’t appear that there’s any padding between the strap itself and the paint, which can’t be good for the pickup’s looks. At least they made an attempt to secure the front wheels, although the parties involved chose to attach a knot of more ratchet straps to the bottom of the front wheels, along with a chain somewhere in the mess. In short, there’s really nothing keeping the Ford F-150 STX from rolling backward and right off that trailer but sheer luck.

What's wrong with that ???? There's chains attached to it to prevent it from rolling back and forth.....
The knot looks good, and they even wrapped the chain thru the webbing knot on the front.....double protection !!!

Looking at those wheels, it's probably a quick repo .

There is an inverse relationship between the size of the wheels and the IQ of the owner. We dont call them Bros because they are smrt. (Old simspon joke)

Looks like yellow caution tape.

He should've just attached the front straps to the mirrors so that the paint wouldn't get scratched...

But then, maybe he only had one strap for the front? ?
