I would WANT my potential employers to see that video if I was the one that modified the truck to fold like that. It took a smart ambitious person to figure out how to do it and then get it done. If I were an employer I would WANT someone like that on my team.

It broke because it was 'only' a 2500, and since the 3500 SRW is so much more truck that it would have been fine.;) I agree on the rigged part, if that truck had actually bent like that it would have broken something in the drivetrain for sure.

Funny video, yep,I read somewhere before on a truck forum that it had been rigged. It's also possible that the truck was original long bed cut down to a short bed truck leaving a weak link where it had been not welded correctly. I have seen some poor welds fail at times. But if I can recall it was rigged, but funny.
A truck, a camper, a few toys, but most importantly a wonderful family.

Either way rigged or not I don't see anything remarkably stupid about the stunt. My vote is obviously rigged.

No kidding. Always amuses me to hear people complain about the antics of the next generation, completely forgetting the stupid stuff they did.

The only difference is that the older generations didn't video tape it and share it with the world to see how stupid they were. These kids today... they are going to find it a little harder to get a good job when their potential employers start looking through their social media and seeing the dumb stuff that they CELEBRATE.

Interesting... Goes to show the lever action of pulling up in the middle of the truck. My kids stroller folds in half the same way.

I agree something seems fishy, the truck bent in half but wasn't pulled backwards and the driveshaft didn't break...?


X 2. I was thinking similar. Also nobody seemed too upset about the 'damage' to the truck.
