#Ford breaks Guinness World Record for largest flag towed; Takes record back from Chevy

Ford managed to haul a 4,124 square foot (45’×92’) flag behind a 2017 Ford F-450 during Ford Championship weekend earlier last month. The F-450’s turbo diesel 6.7L Power Stroke engine, producing 925 foot pounds of torque is what enabled the record to be achieved.

#Ford breaks Guinness World Record for largest flag towed; Takes record back from Chevy

Ford managed to haul a 4,124 square foot (45’×92’) flag behind a 2017 Ford F-450 during Ford Championship weekend earlier last month. The F-450’s turbo diesel 6.7L Power Stroke engine, producing 925 foot pounds of torque is what enabled the record to be achieved. Not only was it a larger flag than Chevrolet’s previous record (40’×80’), but it was also driven a further distance.

The 2017 Ford Super Duty is also the 2017 Motor Trend truck of the year, so it’s only suiting that it should break a record before 2017 actually arrives. The qualifications for this record is that the flag must have a larger square footage than the last record, as well as traveling a farther distance than the previous record, all without never having the flag touch the ground.

Basically, yes. As far as I can see through the history of this record, it’s never been held by a truck compamy outside of America.

I’d never thought I saw more Murica, till I saw the comment section joining together.
Okay, I’m joining in. And as a tribute toward my icon…
