Is it ok to hit the redline?

At what point of that bad example was that Tacoma at redline?

 

At High RPMs

 

So your saying that if you drive at high rpm’s you also drive your truck like this guy does. Right.......

 

?.....

 

Peak hp is @ 6000 RPM. If you tow through any kind of mountains, you're going to hit it and hit it repeatedly.
Big deal.

 

Ugh, trolling...

 

What does an idiot driving too fast for conditions have to do with Redline?

Your little popcorn munching dude says everything I’m thinking and more, lol!

 

Hell yeah, redline the piss out of it.

 

Just make sure you redline it in reverse for equal amounts of time to reverse all the stress it caused

 

Hell you don't even need a mountain, just a gentle slope will do.

Pick a good stretch of interstate and set the cruise control, the first hill you hit the computer will drop a gear and shoot the tach right to the red.

You don't have to touch a thing, the truck will do that all by itself.

 

Wonder what the damage was for this. All things considered it appears to have taken it like a boss.

Edit: Lol. Video description says busted steering rack, oil pan and bent frame.

 

?.......
What’s your point of the video?

but no damage from revving the engine.

 

But he couldn’t have gotten to that speed without revving the engine.

Duh!

 

Maybe there was a long hill before and he coasted down it in neutral.

 

And that’s letting the wheels drive the engine. Also catastrophic.

 

Cuz that's how neutral works

 

Well, this thread is already chock full of incorrect info about how engines work, so I figured I’d just add to it.
