The Ford F-250 breaks through the Gates of Hell and proves that used pickups are as powerful as new ones.

Off-road driving isn't hard, and Ford trucks are more than willing to tackle rough terrain, even when it comes to Hell's Gate, and this 250 F-2015 proves it.

Few things are as exciting to watch without aftermarket hype showing off its capabilities on all types of terrain. Many of today's pickup trucks can tow what you need, carry what you need, and get where you need to go with little or no modification, even if they're not that late models.

An example of this is that Ford F-250 2015 the 8-litre V6.2 petrol engine can be dispensed with thanks to upgraded tires and lower gears, the oval firm's van managed to climb Hell's Gate without any fear.

Traction and ground clearance are critical to overcoming one of Moab's most famous obstacles. Sometimes you need to mount a sandstone wall, keeping in mind the opposite side of your platform so as not to break it completely. However, instead of relying on a mod catalog, this guy ships it on his Super Duty with a 34-inch Toyo and a 4.88 rear wheel.

Apparently this has been done before on other production 4xXNUMX vehicles. One of them did it pretty cool a while back, and even a slightly modified Kia Sorento made headlines as a road leader in 'XNUMX. But there are a few things that make Super Duty stand out.

How difficult was it for the F250 to climb the gates of hell?

First, Ford's size makes Hellgate even more challenging. But this short-cab F-250 has a wheelbase of 141.8 inches. That's about 32 inches longer than the Sorento and exactly 27 inches longer than the Grand Cherokee. Oh, and with the mirrors unfolded, it's also 104.9 inches wide. The Kia, by comparison, is just 74,4 inches wide.

Second, the The Ford F250 that made this transition is very heavy, over 6,500 pounds.. In this sense, being lower to the ground is actually an advantage: you don't want the gear to tip over when you have a high center of gravity.

The Ford F250 ended up climbing the hill without leaving any noticeable mark of beauty on the truck. Judging by the description of the video, the handlers were smart and added sliders before this escalation, but in fact, until the very end, a special scraper is not heard. This is a prime example of good observers and a smart helmsman; you can go pretty far with any vehicle as long as you have them.

Another important thing to note is that they didn't even detach the anti-roll bars for this race, which is even more impressive. Just keep in mind that if you want to drive this way, you will need to improve your driving skills before upgrading your rig.. If you're good enough, you can manage what you brought with half of your friends' team.

It should be noted that the owner of this van reached out and sent in more lift shots. The pictures were taken with a drone and give an idea of just how cool Hellgate really is.
