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

It's totally possible, you just have to be a special kind of stupid to do it. Here is a legendary video of a Corvette that is probably a good example of what happened to this Bronco.

Hey now... I have a four door big bend soft top! *Cries in corner*

I don’t think he meant anything other than 4 door door soft top big bends seem to be what Ford is making for dealer stock and that’s about all you see on the lots right now. I could be wrong.

Oh, I am no expert but is this even possible to burn out a clutch with 10 miles on it? I am not implying it is a quality issue but seriously, can you actually burn out a clutch in 10 miles If you tried to?

Can I borrow your truck to try?

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.

Not covered by bumper-to-bumper and not covered for loaner car while they wait on a new clutch to become available which hopefully will be 2 months or more.

I love it when idiots get their just deserts.

You can burn out a clutch not moving 10 feet...ride it and max your RPMs, let that clucth heat up nice and toasty and you'll be there in no time.

Well, thanks for the education. I learned something from the video and from this thread.
I did laugh when the owner said “bye bye $600. ” That was priceless. Do you think the Z06 clutch was a bit more that $600?

Blowing up a bronco this fast makes me kinda half expect WhistlinDiesel to post a video all like "So I bought 5 ford Broncos" and then spend a whole video destroying them all with this blue big bend featured at some point.

Recall seeing that vid - what are some of these drivers thinking?!

Probably considerably more than $600 if you factor in labor and all of the other parts that would be destroyed, such as the flywheel, throwout bearing and slave cylinder. The entire transmission has to be removed from the car just to gain access to the clutch. If you look at the bronco pictures in the first post of this thread, you can clearly see the throwout bearing is bright purple from heat damage, and the description in the reddit thread said the flywheel was so purple it basically looked black.
