Ford Pickup Rescues Stuck Semi
Ойын-сауық
After the Dallas / Fort Worth area was hit with an Ice Storm in February 2011, I was up in the news helicopter shooting the traffic and weather. I came across numerous trucks and cars sliding around on the ice. I notice one particular FED EX truck being helped by an unlikely helper. This video shows how bigger isn't always better. Some of the audio is from my communication with our news desk. Nice job Mr. Good samaritan.

Right... I have a guy who I am friends with named steve. He is a retired GM Car Hauler, and his peterbilt decided to go out on him coming into town where he lived. Fully loaded with cars and trucks. He called his son up, told him get two heavy duty chains and his 2009 Chevy Duramax 3500. They hooked both of them up and towed the truck home. I still have pictures of that day and it still remains the most talked about event in our town. Montrose MI
Now THAT is amazing! Another job well done Ford!

Ford motor company should give this man a new truck for the free advertising. They sold many trucks from this report. Ceo step up.
The FedEx truck is an Intertrashional----if it has a Maxxforce "engine", then Mr pickup here gonna be towing him all the way to the delivery. Joking aside, that was amazing and totally badass. The "Mission Impossible" theme was a nice touch 👌
Built Ford Tough baby!!!
That would have been cool to be guy pulling a truck on news and all lol sweet video tho
Impressive, but you have to admit guys that you didn't think that Mr.Pickup was gonna be able to tow Mr.Semi either. Just be honest.
Well, I know it's possible because I pulled a semi over Hoosier Pass with my 2000 F-350 dually
Nothing but the best Ford trucks
Nice camera work from up there!
Mr. Helicopter had never been to a truck pull until then.

That's a ford for you...
Badass 7.3 ford power!
Why do I feel like I just watched a car commercial?
No wonder my package is late :/
That thought they couldn't pull them out doe 😂😂
look at that back tire flex
damn this guy just became sponsored by ford for that move!
@oreodogdfw Wow! Name-calling... nice. I stole the video I shot from the helicopter I was sitting in??? I uploaded mine the day after, because I wasn't shooting it off the tv like you did. It's okay though, more power to you.
Those guys never heard of powerstroke before
FedEx must be proud? Ford should be proud. And the pick truck guys should get free delivery from Fedex for a year.
now that's real advertisement !!!

Ford all the way.. I like dodge and chevy too but id perfer a ford thank you very much
why wouldn't it pull it. If a fucking 3000lb 300hp Subaru STI can pull a similar size vehicle in Europe. They are not pulling the truck, they just provide a little extra oomph to the get the thing to grip and start moving on it's own.
This girl in my class said a ford cant pull a simi so lets see this
Amierican pickups power :D
stick it in low and go!
Lol man that truck must have some balls pulling that semi up such a STEEP grade on SO MUCH ice in a Texas winter...Pretty dumb move on the truck driver's part for letting him hook up. If the powerstroke got fucked up in any way he could have fedex's ass on a platter.
What he doesn't tell you is that the truck was empty and hammering his own throttle as well. Ego maniacs. Lol not hatin on ya. Used to had a tbird SC loved that car. But I drive trucks for a living and I can tell you. There's no way he'd get that done if the truck were loaded and he was pullin dead weight.
P.S. There wasn't a sand truck in front of me!

if you and others alike says so, or can just buy something just as tough and more affordable and not overpriced and selling so well according to so and so because sheep like you believe everything the sales tactics tell you. power and torque is what mainly matters in any pickup and commercial truck, the rest of that technobable is luxury and convenience adding to the price

I Worked There... The Driver/Manager {Local Boy Shane} For FedEx Freight, Does This ALL THE TIME Now, ALL 6fT.6" OF HIM. With His Big Red Ford F250. Cannot miss him, His Beard is 2 ft. long, once used it to pull another semi out with 3 trailers attached {Triples} ....Just kidding, the beard is for real tho.
Hey, Mr. Newsboy, you're very quiet now. Weren't you just being sarcastic about the pickup not being able to pull the semi?? Gee, did you just make yourself look like an idiot on tv? It's ok. I'll ask the pickup driver to bring you a FedEx trailer full of Vaseline. You can rub it on the spot that hurts the most! :-)

I mean people who talk crap about my trucks better etc usually have no clue what they are even going off about. Any diesel any brand could of done this if they had enough shared traction between both the semi and the pickup. “X brand couldn’t of pulled him out” is just pretty ignorant. It would be a more accurate comment if you had an equal line up of trucks from different brands, all 4WD, all same tires on same road conditions. If you have a custom built Ford with oversized tires, full lockers, beefed up engine etc , not a fair comparison to a stock Chevy or dodge or whatever
