Owning a Ford F-Series with a lift kit, six wheels, and three axles could make you feel like the king of the world and capable of outperforming every other vehicle on earth when it comes to off-roading. This video proves that isn’t necessarily the case.
Posted online by Facebook user Pat Phelps, the video has been viewed 1.2 million times in less than a week. To call it hilarious would be an understatement.
Phelps says that the owner of the pickup in question was bragging to him about how impressive the Ford was shortly after taking ownership of it. Perhaps sensing that it wouldn’t be as capable as the owner thought, he took out his camera and started filming (in portrait mode, mind you…) the driver trying, and failing, to drive up a simple incline on a paved road.

The driver can be seen making two attempts at driving up the road but fails miserably as the four rear wheels simply start spinning as soon as the driver hits the throttle. With a longer run-up, we’re sure the Ford could get up the small incline but we’ve got no doubt a front-wheel drive hatchback could as well and probably with much more ease.
Making the video all the funnier is the commentary from Phelps. He can be heard shouting “That thing’s a six-by-six for nothing!” and “Oh maannn! He just bought it too, he has no clue what the f**k to do right now! Oh my god, this is f**king comical.”
Here’s a quick message to the Ford owner; you may have six-wheels but that doesn’t give you an off-roader on the same level as a Mercedes-Benz G63 6×6.
