The registration was made by Jacob Jettwho shared a video on his Facebook page to showcase the Ford Bronco screeching tires while being carried by a tow truck.
“He’s destroying that car. He brought a tow truck and didn’t use it… I hope the owner of the car sees this, because of course they’re going to say they didn’t do anything. He’s dragging that car. The handbrake is on,” he commented in the footage.
According to the website Tow Ratings“towing or even driving with the handbrake on […] can easily damage the disc or drum”, emphasizing that doing this for even short distances can cause a real headache for the owner.
Additionally, dragging a car with the brakes locked can also “crack the coating, cause the coating glue to fail, or […] separates from the brake shoes or pads”, as noted by the Tow Ratings.
While some internet users discussed whether even the vehicle’s towing position was correct, a car dealership Ford emphasized that the Bronco it can be winched this way without any problems, as long as the handbrake is released and the gearshift is in a neutral position.
