I could not watch that brain numbing video... but of note, the factory tow rating of their tow vehicle has been significantly impacted by the lift and that wheel and tire combo.

I know they are young and excited but they need more substance. Not oh we need level 6 on the tuner because we need all the power to tow this average load for a diesel truck. Your not suppose to tow on that high of a level to begin with and to tow that load at 55 down the Highway its definitely not needed. This is what happens when you have more money than experience. Wish them all the best though. They’ll just have to learn backwards. Which is just another way of doing.

Some the stuff they do makes me shake my head, and they are not the brightest crayons in the box but they seem like they do decent work and it does provide entertainment. It's cool to see all the body work and how its done and what vtuned's frame machine can do. The f450 was supposed to be the tow pig and one of the first things they do is level it lol.

Passed (opposing traffic) an F250 this morning bumper pulling two 2020 Ford Explorer Sports on a wood deck trailer. At least 12,000Lb, probably a lot more as it was a full wood deck with hydraulic ramp.

Not a problem for a leveled F250 with an 8 inch lift and 37 inch tires, apparently. 70mph, two-lane road, maybe three car lengths behind the sedan in front of it, looked like less.
