[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 971640, member: 52972"] Uncle_Bob, If he put it in Park the rear wheels would have been locked. Most of the brake pressure goes to the front wheels since the front does about 70% of the braking (under normal conditions) You can put on the brakes enough to lock up the front wheels and the rear wheels can still turn. Pretty much what they do when they want to do a burn-out....Brakes on and hammer the throttle I suspect that the Explorer was in Neutral or even Reverse with the brakes on and little or no power applied. If the Explorer were in drive at full power the rear wheels would have been spinning forward while being dragged backewards. The fact that the rear wheels on the Explorer where moving backwards without and smoking indicates to me that the Explorer was not offering any resistance except for the brakes. Totally bogus test....I'm surpised that Ford is not going after Chrysler for it's phoney add. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
