I'm so happy to see so many others have found this little video. Thanks to all those that get the obscure little connection of one of the greatest moments in video game history, with one of the greatest moments in animated sitcom history. I truly appreciate the support of my admittedly offbeat antics.

I can feel hanks pain in those scenes.

I saw that episode. I feel for Hank, and what he had endured. His ‘86 Ford Ranger gave him 20 years. The reason why Hank was crying for his truck, because it a nostalgia thing to him. Additionally, Hank was sad because had good memories with that truck, like Cowboys winning the Super Bowl, the birth of his son, Bobby, and the start of his job at Strickland. He probably used his first few paychecks from Strickland to purchase his 1986 Ford Ranger. All good things must come to an end. It’s hard to let go of the past, like in Hank’s case. With his new truck, Hank could create new memories. From watching this episode of King of the Hill. I have an idea of what went wrong with his 1986 Ford Ranger. From based on the main symptoms: intermittent crank, no start, overheating, and coolant in exhaust. Those symptoms point to a blown head gasket. The reason why truck died on the tracks, because the engine, hydrolocked. The episode also showed the truck backfiring, that because the engine was getting blow by past the rings

It seems silly, but when you own a vehicle for so long and you invest so much into it, it in a way becomes part of the family.

Having a car you've had for a long time failing to start is like waking up to a beloved family pet that has passed. They're both part of the family, both painful to lose.

My 1996 F-150's motor finally went out. Had the truck since high school it was a farm truck that my grandparents had used for a while then gave to me. Dad and I Fixed and cleaned it up and I used it for 12 years. Went through 3 dogs, 2 girlfriends, countless fishing and camping trips 2 wrecks where it didn't even cause damage to the truck itself. Ran perfect up until its last day. Just before I was gonna send it to a scrap yard (a new motor was too expensive at that point). Someone came up to me and ask if it was for sell because they wanted to completely restore one just like it and use it as a classic. So I sold it to give it another life and not decay in a junkyard. They don't make em like they use to. Anyways I kinda feel Hank's pain now lol.

There is no greater sadness than a man seeing his truck die on him.

Bobby was right she didn’t want Hank to suffer anymore that was her way telling him that she will always be in his heart and to let go and get a new truck

For those that need context, the song is Daniel Lanois' "That's the Way it is". In the game, Red Dead Redemption 2, this song is used in an important montage to symbolize the end of the road for the protagonist. Same idea here, but for the truck.

My truck just got pronounced DOA some 20 minutes ago. I turned to KZfaq for comfort and stumbled upon this. It’s crazy that a truck can make me feel like Hank. 😢

I had a 01 Toyota Tundra for almost 10 years. I couldn't get rid of it for anything. It was the first thing my husband and I bought together the day after we got married. About a month ago I wrecked it due to a ball joint failure causing me to lose control and hit a concrete guard. Noone else was involved. I couldn't stop crying not because of what happened and losing the truck, but feeling like a part of my life was lost. I've never felt so much for a cartoon dad but trust me, it's real folks.

A man and his car/truck is one of the sacred things.

The death of a beloved friend is never easy. Watching Bobby roll down an embankment is another story but, condolences Hank.🥲

I felt the same way when my truck developed cracks in the cylinder heads. Changed the oil and found pudding and metal shavings. On a positive note I scraped some money together for a new engine and here we are 5 years later

I get like this over my car... Hanks not crazy.

Red Redemption 2 perfect song choice for the emotion behind this story, that’s the way it is.

RIP old girl

I now how hank feels I just lost my 2016 dodge dart (I know not a truck.) It was my first car that I bought and paid off by myself, my parents did not help me (they work hard so asking them feels wrong.) 3 weeks ago I lost it in an accident where I was rear ended at a yield and it took about 3 days for me to fully process the accident and break down. Me and that car went everywhere, when I first bought it I immediately used it to go out of town to see my wife's college graduation. I laughed, cried, and felt every emotion in between in that car and suddenly it was gone just like that. 2 days ago I bought myself a 22 ford ranger and i'm looking forward to experiencing new adventures and memories in my truck. I'll never forget my dart but I know it's time to move onto better things

I always understood this episode but never empathized with it until recently. I just traded in the car I learned to drive in and then drove in for almost 10 years. I am very happy with the car I have now but that day at the dealer trading in I was emotional. I had made many memories in that car, and of all my friends I was the only one who had a car that long, when they saw a blue jeep around town everyone knew it was me. cant say im impressed with the color of the car I picked up but thats a little thing, it has four wheels, an engine, a radio, and room for all my junk thats all I need.

Really cool that the song from Arthurs last ride from RDR2 is in this

how is it after maybe two years of suppressing my feeling cause of my grandma this is what makes me cry after i thought i ran out of tears

Listening to this song while playing red dead redemption knowing I'm riding closer and closer to the end.... this song grew a narrative that whatever is gonna happen "that's the way it is"

My all time favorite King of The Hill episode

Love how they used an emd f40ph for a fraight locomotive.

My uncle had a truck for many years and he was hurt when it died. He had it since college which was many years before I was born and I’m 22

Usopp from one piece can definitely relate to Hank in this moment

so much emotion behind this story.

my condolences 💐

I've owned my current car for 11 1/2 years and hope to get another 11 1/2 years out of it. Will be a sad day to see it go eventually. Its not even a cool car or anything, but it's mine and I like it. I feel ya Hank.

Everytime the check engine light comes on

No not the red dead music that just hits hard

This reminds me of when my old Chevy s10 officially died on me, RIP to that truck, I still miss it

Jesus. For a second there I thought Hank was going to stay in that goddamn truck and get smooshed.

Water in exhaust may cause hyrdolock where the water gets in the engine and bends the piston and can't run anymore.

Rest in peace. You served well, valiant steed.

All ford owners know hank hills pain

no greater relationship than man has with his car, i can speak from experience.

Far & away 1 of the best shows of its day. Funny as hell without being overtly crude. The modern age could learn a TON of values from it, starting with politicians on down. Hank for President 2024!

I can feel Hanks pain my 96 Nissan is on it’s on its last leg but a little 2.4 has took me everywhere I just don’t have the heart to see the original motor go

King of the Hill is one of TV's great dramedies.

this is a great edit

Currently sitting around waiting on parts to fix the car

My 2007 ford is like this with me, I have had for 10 years, it’s been through 4 presidents, and 4 Astros World Series

You know what Ford stands for, don't cha? Fix It Again Tony

R.I.P to Hanks Ford Ranger supercab.😔🛻

rest in peace hanks truck🛻

03 ford ranger was my first truck the end of my high school days and begging of adult life. The Ranger was everything to i was happy to won soemthing. Sadly it had to be repaired then another another till i could no longer do it anymore i had to let her go to someone else. I wish i could of kept it

Hank and his truck is always been the best and episodes between season 1 episode 1 now his truck is gone I can feel Hank pain one thing he loves it was his truck it's always been the part of his life now it's gone☹️😢😭😥

I recently lost Joy, my Silverado of 13 years; she was an '02 that I got in 2010. had damn near 400 thousand miles on her before the transmission gave out. Even AFTER that, I drove her for almost a month with no reverse gear, until I could get my hands on a replacement vehicle. All jokes and inferences aside, a man doesn't forget their first...

They just hit me with a $4k estimate to handle all the body rot on my 05 Suburban. My head and heart are heavy.

The trucks gonna be fine Hank. I HAVE A PLAN. You just need to show a little FAITH

I WOULD CLASSIFY THIS AS DISPLACEMENT, MAYBE HIS SON HAS CANCER, HIS WIFE IS OR HAS A DANGEROUS JOB

Hank Hill: "Atta boy, you're a good boy..."

The many miles we walk….

Do you think his insurance company believed Hank about it just breaking down on the railroad tracks?

I cried when my vehicle got crashed. Not because I walked away with minor injuries. Not because I walked away from death going 70 mph and falling asleep. I cried because I would miss my car. I loved that car. My first car. A 2001 mercury grand Marquis mint with a cream puff paintjob outside and brown fabric inside. I just put police package brakes and suspension in the front 😢❤. I'll have you again one day baby

I know people love to rip on Altimas due to them being stereotypical hood cars, but our 2008 Altima got totaled about a year ago in October 2022. My parents bought it brand new back in April 2008, and we had it for all of my childhood. Lost it to a lady with no insurance lol.

when a man's truck breaks down, he does as well. remember that folks.

If you don’t understand then you’ve never truly loved a vehicle before. I would tore tf up if my truck was destroyed

Hank loved his truck 😢

There was water… in the exhaust 😭

Just like when my Dad had to junk his beloved Dodge Caravan...

My 1988 Oldsmobile 98 gave me a lot of problems. Replaced the fuel pump, engine light problems, now the oil pan is leaking oil, air compressor stopped working, and the ac clutch is messed up, battery was dead, it sat there, does nothing. So, I couldn't keep going with that car, so it got towed away, cause I got rid of it, and I bought a 2023 Toyota Corolla!

I feel his pain a man’s vehicle is the only place a man can be himself and let his emotions out most guys have to keep a stone face during hardship or during sadness but you can bet when they are on there way to or back from somewhere all alone you can just let it all out

Hope someone picked up my civic and brought it back to life. It sucks losing your first car to mechanical failure and you don’t have the money for an engine. Hell barely even had the money for the tow. I hope it’s not just rotting somewhere,I feel like it deserved better but I didn’t have the money to fix it up

great song who sing it

You need to do a video talking about the cars of king of the hill
