The cause of the damage? Towing a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/ford-f-150\/\">Ford F-150<\/a>. Now, he&rsquo;s back, and this time he&rsquo;s out to prove that the Ford can take the same abuse without flinching.<\/p>\n<div id=\"6a782b01-facb-45f3-a88f-ddf1b1f97657\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"4d84e4c9-9937-4f84-82c0-c94544ee6f2a\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"> <\/div>\n<p> var adpushup = window.adpushup  = window.adpushup || {que:[]};<br \/>\n         adpushup.que.push(function() {<br \/>\n             if (adpushup.config.platform !== &#8220;DESKTOP&#8221;){<br \/>\n    adpushup.triggerAd(&#8220;4d84e4c9-9937-4f84-82c0-c94544ee6f2a&#8221;);<br \/>\n             }<br \/>\nelse{<\/p>\n<p>     adpushup.triggerAd(&#8220;6a782b01-facb-45f3-a88f-ddf1b1f97657&#8221;);<br \/>\n}         });<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/tesla\/\">Tesla<\/a> fans were quick to defend their beloved truck, claiming that it wasn&rsquo;t the towing that did in the Cybertruck but rather the rough landing it endured after Detwiler drove it off a cement culvert. So, in true WhistlinDiesel fashion, Cody decided to see if the F-150 could withstand a similar beating. Armed with an excavator, he lifted the truck&rsquo;s rear end and repeatedly slammed the hitch against a concrete block, because why not?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2024\/08\/whistlin-diesel-snaps-tesla-cybertruck-frame-in-viral-durability-test\/\">WhistlinDiesel Snaps Tesla Cybertruck Frame In Viral &ldquo;Durability&rdquo; Test<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The results? The F-150 lived up to Ford&rsquo;s &ldquo;Built Tough&rdquo; mantra. The hitch took the hits like a champ, refusing to budge despite the relentless abuse. However, the truck didn&rsquo;t come out unscathed. After being dropped one too many times, the rear half of the Ford&rsquo;s frame began to bend, but unlike the Cybertruck, it didn&rsquo;t snap in two. The secret? The F-150&rsquo;s frame is made from good old-fashioned strengthened steel, while the Cybertruck relies on lighter, less forgiving aluminum.<\/p>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article\"><\/div>\n<p>  window._taboola = window._taboola || [];<br \/>\n  _taboola.push({<br \/>\n    mode: &#8216;thumbnails-a-mid&#8217;,<br \/>\n    container: &#8216;taboola-mid-article&#8217;,<br \/>\n    placement: &#8216;Mid Article&#8217;,<br \/>\n    target_type: &#8216;mix&#8217;<br \/>\n  });<\/p>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article-thumbnails-organic\"><\/div>\n<p>  window._taboola = window._taboola || [];<br \/>\n  _taboola.push({<br \/>\n    mode: &#8216;thumbnails-oc-2&#215;1&#8217;,<br \/>\n    container: &#8216;taboola-mid-article-thumbnails-organic&#8217;,<br \/>\n    placement: &#8216;Mid Article Thumbnails Organic&#8217;,<br \/>\n    target_type: &#8216;mix&#8217;<br \/>\n  });<\/p>\n<p>As for repairs, Detwiler has a simpler task on his hands with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/ford\/\">Ford<\/a>. While his Cybertruck is currently stuck at a Tesla center awaiting a laundry list of new frame components, he managed to straighten out the F-150&rsquo;s frame by &ndash; you guessed it &ndash; dropping a concrete block directly onto the hitch. The Cybertruck, on the other hand, is racking up a serious repair bill, with costs already hitting $11,714, and that&rsquo;s before the crucial structural fixes begin.<\/p>\n<p>What&rsquo;s next for the battered <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/tesla-cybertruck\/\">Cybertruck<\/a>? We&rsquo;ll have to wait and see what WhistlinDiesel has in store for his next round of durability tests. But for now, it&rsquo;s safe to say that when it comes to surviving a beating, the Ford F-150 has proven it&rsquo;s got the guts to take on the challenge.<\/p>\n<div id=\"e7c4c913-3924-4b2d-9279-6c00984dd130\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"> <\/div>\n<div id=\"5646c171-cb6e-4e2c-8440-49013ca72758\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"> <\/div>\n<p> var adpushup = window.adpushup  = window.adpushup || {que:[]};<br \/>\n         adpushup.que.push(function() {<br \/>\n             if (adpushup.config.platform !== &#8220;DESKTOP&#8221;){<br \/>\n    adpushup.triggerAd(&#8220;5646c171-cb6e-4e2c-8440-49013ca72758&#8221;);<br \/>\n             }<br \/>\nelse{<\/p>\n<p>     adpushup.triggerAd(&#8220;e7c4c913-3924-4b2d-9279-6c00984dd130&#8221;);<br \/>\n}         });<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WhistlinDiesel&rsquo;s tests prove the F-150 takes abuse better than the more fragile Cybertruck.
