The Ford F-150 has undergone a makeover for the new 2015 model year, but we’re actually talking about the new F-150 Power Wheels here. Ford, Motor City Solutions, and Power Wheels was looking to see just how tough the Power Wheels version of America’s best-selling vehicle are by dropping a full-sized 2015 Ford F-150 onto four of the toddler toys.

The 2015 F-150 full-sized truck has lost about 700 pounds compared to the 2014 model with a lighter aluminum body, but still 4,120 lbs is a lot of weight especially for a plastic toy. This means each of the Power Wheels would be supporting about 1,030 pounds, far . That would be the equivalent of three football linebackers crammed into a tiny Power Wheels built for two small children (try to picture that and not laugh). Nevertheless Bill Howell of Power Wheels wass undeterred, saying; “We build our Power Wheels with such quality that we feel that four of these will support the weight of the F-150.”

In preparation four platforms were custom built to sit on top of each Power Wheels to cradle the large F-150 tires, which look like they would just crush the battery powered trucks on their own. The moment when the full-sized truck was lowered down is very dramatic; will the Power Wheels hold their larger brother, or will they get crushed like an ant under a shoe?

Surprisingly all four Power Wheels did hold up, and they were even able to drivethe F-150s away after the stunt in an impressive display of all-electric torque and hauling capacity. Perhaps the dyno readings of the pink Barbie Mustang werne’t quite so accurate after all? So now we all know that four Football players can if they wanted to roll up in a Ford F-150 Power Wheels, if they can figure out how to all fit.
