#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.

A very 'Murican photo, with the record setting F-450 in the back, lead by the upcoming Raptor in the front

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…
