Madman burnt his Bronco's clutch with 10 miles on odometer - right off dealer lot 🤯

Cross post from this reddit. Looks like a 2022 big bend where someone attempted to do a burnout right off the dealer lot. Absolutely annihilated their clutch with only 10 miles on the drivetrain.

The comments indicate that the flywheel was blackened, so that means things got really hot! My guess is that it was a clutch dump at high rpm, but it isn't a heavy enough clutch to hang on. He probably saw smoke and thought he was doing a burn-out, but was dumb enough not to be able to tell the difference between burning clutch smell and burning rubber smell.

These Broncos aren't race cars. I would be surprised if it is possible to do a burn-out at all in one.

Wow, all you can say is wow!

Not sure I could do that if I were trying.

If that guy got his while some day one and two res holders still live without, there is no justice in this world.

odds are this is some "influencer" trying to build following and relevance online? "SIGH"

I dont even know if i can spin my tires on my car because of the infant small 1st gear

I think it happened once while pulling out , that or it was just a turn squeal

Is this why some dealerships charge ADM?

>Four door Big Bend soft top

What a shocker. Probably a dumbass influencer grabbing whatever was sitting on the dealer lot

How do you fk up this bad? Did he have the accelerator to the floor and kept the clutch halfway engaged? Or did he dump it under full load and it gave out? Need some details.

Stupid games, stupid prizes.

I doubt that there is an issue with the clutch holding power. Most people don't know how to do a burnout with a manual transmission anymore.

Both engines have more than enough power to get the wheels spinning without a lot of effort. A 2.7L Sasquatch can easily break the tires loose from a standing start just by mashing the gas. .

Maybe he forgot to turn off the traction control?
