I'm impressed that the rest of the drivetrain can hold that power.
Once the drivetrain can handle spinning the wheels...more HP doesn't put more stress on an empty truck...at least nothing significant.
It can't put more torque on the drivetrain as the wheels just spin releasing the excess torque.
That said modern stock engines are incredibly powerful compared to 30-40yrs ago.
I believe last time Andre was there testing a tuned EcoBoost F150, he sheared the driveshaft off due to excessive torque and traction.
That was a 2.7 EB that has a lighter drivetrain (except transmission) compared to the 3.5 EB.
And boosted 4x4 launches tends to be hard on stuff.
