VIDEO: YouTuber buys a Peterbilt semi truck and then wreaks complete havoc

A new viral video from YouTube content creator WhistlinDiesel seeks to find out just how far you can push a Peterbilt.

WhistlinDiesel is a YouTube channel with more than 8 million subscribers specializing in automotive stunts involving construction equipment, luxury cars, school busses, and aircraft.

The channel’s newest entry, “Buying A Peterbilt Semi and Destroying It,” was released on November 28, 2024. In just three days, the video has garnered more than 5 million views.

In the video, WhistlinDiesel content creator Cody Detwiler shows no respect whatsoever for the recently-obtained red Peterbilt. Detwiler grinds gears, fires arrows at the truck and trailer, crashes it into a van, takes it off road, hits some trees, and backs into a shed. He takes on a Tesla Cybertruck in a tug-of-war, runs over anything that gets in his way, and appears to have a heck of a time adding custom mods to the Peterbilt as he gleefully destroys it.
