Hate to say this, but it actually is isolated to fords, particularly that design of mag wheel.
The mag wheel has a habit of coroding onto the wheel hub and it is impossible to get the wheel off.
I have also experienced this problem with my nan's Ford Meteor (Laser sedan) and next door neighbour with their old ford falcon with the same mag wheels

I was waiting for either a car to drive onto the straps, or the wheel to fly off and hit the towing car....

not quite mate, an old boy at work had to have us pull all his alloys off of his vy acclaim+ refit em, had to sit on the ground and lean back and kick each side of the wheel, left right left, like stomping. took us about an hour to do em, and anti-seize behind em.

I think the title should be more focused on what morons the two guys are rather than how crap a Ford is. I can't begin to say how dangerous it is to have a strap looped over the towball like that. They obviously don't even have a grasp of basic physics. How can you expect a rim to come off a hub when it is being pulled sideways. You see the steering turn to the left at the very first bit of pressure applied. He spends too much time in the McDonalds drive through by the looks of him anyway.
