Henry Ford 100 year old Model T showing how it's done on a RTI ramp!!!
At a Flex For Food event held by CORA in Wichita, KS a 1916 Model T pulls up on a 20 degree RTI and lays down a 1040 score!!!

If regulation allowed, I'd love to see a modern built quasi replica of these old beauties with an electric drivetrain.
That angle is crazy.
Just to remind you, this vehicle costs less than a sedan. Most vehicles today with this capability could reach 9 to 10 times this price. And i bet it still isn't capable of freeing itself from getting stuck in the sand. or climbing steep and slippery hills for that matter.
One of the reasons I want a Model T
Блин такие колëсикт тонкие как на велике
Really cool!
Park my tray on three wheels cuz I'm ill
needs a custom model t suspension kit made
Why can't they make cars like this anymore? I mean sure we have better speed, mileage, and safety now, but do you have to sacrifice maneuverability for that?
Did both rear wheels on the T provide power? I guess i'm asking is what is a posi type deal?
Try doing with with a F150: that bitch will snap it’s frame 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Taurus or Expedition: snaps frame Ford just doesn’t build their cars like they used to.
That thing will out-offroad every lifted F250, Duramax, and Ram 2500/3500 in America.
I wonder if I can get my car to do that today without twisting itself in half?
Damn, that has more flex than my girlfriend....
Came here after watching “whistlindiesel” video
Proof that straight axle 4x4s like jeeps are simple, outdated junk
Man he really wanted to turn left
It didn't top out at a 1040 score - the rear wheel has now reached the ramp, so it actually has indefinite flex at a 20 degree RTI!
so 4 percent longer than wheelbase? that's impressive. but i'm betting there was plenty of frame flex too. that door probably wouldn't open.
bruh i LOVE THESE CARS
People assume old cars were fragile and had poor suspension. I laugh my ass off whenever i see those kinds of comments. These cars where grade A don't care go anywhere cars. You'd find them on mountain tops, in deep valleys and generally speaking all over America, back in the day.
People assume everything and have never studied anything about the 1900s-1920s, or rather the 1900s to 1950s-60s-70s. I can go on and on about Automobile glory in the early twentieth century, stripe design, disteel wheel, tire war, closed sedan, 340 Automobile companies, two tone being more common in the 1920s than the 1950s. This is real knowledge that no car "enthusiast" can even tell you.
Just hope you don't starve the motor for oil at those angles! (No oil pump)
Had it right way back
A true pos car that history should of never existed
I really wish Ford could make these cars again. It been over 100 years since these cars have been made. We need more vehicles like this on the road.
People concerned like bro that car has like 3 moving parts calm down
Now all it needs is a supercharger. XD
Low powered and super flexible like an old style jeep
It's like the model t says to the jeeps, "amateurs! This is how it's done!"
Now the frame is twisted and bent and the car will not sit level ever! 😁
People be making T buckets out of these, with that articulation I’d take one off-road
Some of the Model T’s articulation comes from the frame itself, which is made out of vanadium steel; stronger, lighter, and more flexible than other steels used by auto manufacturers at the time. Two people on either end of a bare Model T frame could pick it up and simultaneously twist it in either direction. Each axle has one laterally -mounted leaf spring, as opposed to having two that run parallel with the frame rails. While this isn’t the best for high speed driving, it works wonders for articulation, as shown in the video.
Can confirm, it drives like a dream off road. I can't tell the difference between asphalt and gravel roads by feel. The lateral suspension was quite unique even for it's time
Today ford is a joke
To think this was a classic even back in the 60s 😂
A classic in 1936.
It's a nice car and all but.... the vid is worthless??
Thing was actually a beast
They don't make them like they used to... I guess.
WOOOW ford is old
Opa me chamaram
Humans: “We are evolving, just backwards”
See the Model T was built still when there was no proper or good roads, so they had to have perfect axels and suspension, making it easier to drive in offroad/rocky-terrain, but that makes old cars so exquisite and precisely luxurious, and this Model T has been kept so clean, it seems almost insane, ⬇ for who likes old cars over new
These vehicles came extremely black glossy you know, not this brushed matte. And fuck the T to begin with, compare it to a chalmers/Rubay/Standard and its like seeing a horse next to a model T but the Model T is now the horse in comparison.
no joke a model T drove down my street about a year ago
Next you'll tell me that the sky has clouds!!!???
almost didn’t have the torque to make it up lol
Ppl who’s saying stuff about it and stuff they made stuff back then to last now days they make it to break so you buy a new one
For real though, every jeep guy out there should be embarrassed by this. Stop taking static pictures of your lame articulation. Normal cars could do it before you were even born.
The og offroad
Hu
These cars made the Rubicon
now imagine that bitch going thru the 5 Mount akina hairpins
Tesla's newest car, the Tesla model T!
