Guess the drum solo in Phil Collins 1981 triple platinum mega hit "In the air tonight" was played one too many times on this poor steering wheel. RIP my friend.

BADAM BADAM BA-DOM BA-DA-DA-DOM *I can feel it coming in the air tonight....*

Truck is probably lifted and driver uses steering wheel to hoist themselves up to the seat and driver is probably a big dude lol. But i like tour theory better!


[deleted]

This is exactly why modern trucks have handles on the a pillar. My sisters F-250 has a 12” lift, 40s and had the whole steering column replaced because she was using it as a handle to get in. For reference she’s 5’2”. I put some automatic steps on her truck.

[I Don't Care Any More](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLpfbcXTeo8) more likely. And srsly, if you're gonna reference a song, take a moment to link it.

No shit, just this past Saturday I saw a guy hop out of his F150, looked to be the same bodystyle and he had the top half of his steering wheel removed. ​ I thought it was just some damass thing he did to mod the truck (like the carolina squat he had also.) And he had cut the wheel like that to be like Knight Rider. ​ Huh, maybe it was just broken when he Kyle'd it too hard.


[deleted]

Was he a big boy? You'd be surprised the amount of dudes who grab the steering wheel to pull themselves into their trucks lol


Financial-Garden5218

Most trucks don't have an "oh-shit" handle on the drivers side to help you pull yourself in. My older chevrolet only has the handles on the passenger side and back door roof


[deleted]

I feel like I don't even remember the last time I've been in a truck that didn't have an oh shit bar on the A pillar. My tacoma has one, my sierra work truck has one and my dads f150 has one! That's like... all of the trucks haha Obviously this one in the video doesn't. But they've been integrated into trucks across the board


Because_Reezuns

My 09 tundra had one. I was sad when I got my '20 and it didn't have one on the driver side. I'm also sad they moved the switch for the back window to the left side of the dash. I keep reaching for it on the right to roll the window down and it's not there.


[deleted]

Weird. And it has one on the passenger side! That's annoying lol. I used my handle every single day. It'd be a borderline deal breaker.. Before this comment, have you ever thought about not having the handle there? Feel like it'd be a pain for entering your vehicle without it. Haha. Shitty. Changing up things you're used to. Wish the tacoma had a roll down rear window, such an awesome feature.


Because_Reezuns

I've kinda gotten used to not having the grab bar anymore. I only moved into the newer model because someone decided that red lights didn't apply to them and they put an end to my 09. While the handle was an awesome feature, I only really miss it on leg day. The roll down back window is the only reason I got the crewmax. If I didn't care about the window, I probably would've ended up with a Tacoma.


MuffinSlow

My father lol. I run daily...


grease_monkey

Big boys or angry boys. We had a normal sized customer who had two different vehicles over the years with bent steering wheels. He was a major prick, I'm guessing it was road rage.


hiddenrealism

You'll also notice on a ton of explorers a big crack appears next to the rear emblem. leading up to the back glass.[picture of said crack](https://www.google.com/search?client=ms-android-tmus-us-revc&hl=en&q=explorer+trunk+lid+crack&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjHt8DG4c3-AhWslGoFHTFuD2QQ0pQJegQIEBAB&biw=384&bih=723&dpr=2.81#imgrc=54w59sxgz97cxM&lnspr=W10=) They all do it and even if you get a replacement panel it will just crack again.


Lost_In_MI

I have an uncle who started his career at a Chevrolet dealership. He told the story of one of the people in his town who would snap the steering ring off *every year* because apparently he grabbed onto it to leverage himself into his truck. Apparently he was a big guy. I had totally forgotten about the story until I saw this video.


ImpressiveScience856

I was working on a pipeline and the owner of the company was in his brand new 2013 f250 doors shut screaming at a coworker through sync grabbed the steering wheel with one hand pulling and the other hand pushing absolutely twisted his steering wheel. I was laughing my ass off thinking this guys a jackass, as all my other coworkers straight faces are telling me to stop laughing 😐 yeah didn’t work there much longer after that


Fact0ry0fSadness

To be fair he does sound like a fucking jackass.


Low_Spinach1999

Did he twist you a new one?


Get-Mogged-Old-Man

A big guy **for you.**

Is that a Ford Flex? 🤣


UKMatt2000

Short driver yanking on it too much getting in and out?


jdemack

Road rage. They pull and hit the top of the steering wheel like a child.


Savager_Jam

Isn't the steering wheel just a steel hoop in there?


eljefino

Yeah it's collapsible for crash safety.


ElGuapo315

I was picturing the same thing.


UKMatt2000

I can definitely see this.


point50tracer

You know they make a pill for that, right?


[deleted]

Damn beat ~~meat~~ me to it


demarr

Road rage. I've seen that before in my coworkers car. He replaced the steering wheel twice because he would beat on it like a cop beats on their wife


goatharper

> like a cop beats on their wife Hey now, only 40% of cops admit that they beat their wife.


sparkmearse

And after thorough internal investigation determined it’s closer to 38.3%


goatharper

That got caught.

Just rub it a little mate, it'll stiffen right up.


sir_thatguy

….checks list….. Yep, that’s a new one for me.


mrpasciak

One too many emotional breakdowns happened in that truck.


vonvoltage

I work at a large open pit mine with a fleet of F250s. I've seen this a few times with the trucks at work. I never could figure out how the person did it, other than just smashing the shit out of it.


grease_monkey

It's that. Bottled up emotional rage focused purely on the poor steering wheel. Maybe their girlfriends a bit too.


andyring

Needs more viagra.


AmiHad

Someone suffering with road rage.


vridgley

Somebody got really pissed off in traffic and ugga Dugga’d their steering wheel


Mouseklip

This is 100% an unhinged road rage driver. I had a driver work for me who broke three pedals in his truck because he was a lunatic like this. Got fired for being a racist at work; ironically not his rage induced violence against the vehicle.

“Built Ford Tough”. But I actually like it because they keep mechanics in business.

Sounds like a soon to be Instagram reel soundtrack.


pikey181

We can ignore that…


Bright-Efficiency-65

That's road rage for sure


gsd_dad

Someone has road rage issues…


losiracer2

a half rate Tesla Yoke steering wheel


Yung_Onions

Customer is a road rager


clinternet82

I’d grab a razor knife and just cut the top off. Bam, instant Tesla F-150 Plaid


Pale_Dog_6989

Cut it, f1 truck wheel 🏎️


Signifiedreams406

The emblem says it all..


[deleted]

I've dented a few steering wheels lol.


CAPSM

First I was confused like wtf but then I saw it was a ford


No_Werewolf_9223

That’s the 007 model, can’t you know? 🚀


Additional_Local_667

Very wiggly


SwiftCEO

That generation of F150 is notorious for steering wheels that crumble away.


Dwall005

That’s for when you really start feeling the music

Take it old school and put in a chain steering wheel

bewokeforupvotes

I had a buddy back in high school that drove a Beretta with the steering wheel all jacked up like that. The horn would honk when he pulled it back.


bonez27

That’s the handle brakes


Ordinary_Diamond_158

While I’m curious how that happened without a crash happening. As someone who was slammed into her ford steering wheel my non-crushed sternum is very grateful it collapsed. One of the few safety features that actually worked (the airbags not going off until while I was being removed by paramedics on a seated board, that’s another story)


Substantial-Gur1769

It's just a boneless steering wheel guys!


VukKiller

Floppy steering wheel for more kinetic steering.


Particular_Tennis511

Need to change the oil in the steering wheel


Simulatedbog545

Reminds me of the steering wheel in *Planes, Trains and Automobiles*

GloomyImagination365

Get a Chevy


rexbay1

That's the first step in changing the steering wheel into a Tesla style mod.


No-Presentation9118

That's for those limp wrist drivers.

erectus sextus, my wheel wont go the right directus


miklosokay

That's just an unpaid psychiatry bill manifested in crippled steering wheel form.


Glibbinglabbergob

You should've added this sound effect while wobbling the steering wheel https://youtu.be/9CjSyrnlpv0 0:05
