Not my capture, but thought I would share.
Good luck explaining that to the insurance adjuster, as the adjuster is watching the video.

Wow.....Diesel gone wild. By the taillights I was thinking initially GM / Duramax, but headlights are more like Dodge / Cummins (my vote). Definitely not a Ford / Powerstroke, though.
Whatever it was, it's a goner. Probably over-revved his tuner/chip-equipped motor, something blew......tough break.
Thanks for the share!

Ram for sure. Play stupid games win stupid prizes. I especially like the driver ending up on his ass after getting out !
Me too, I think that was the best part of the video.
Hmmmm...I wonder....==>>2021 Ram HD 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel Recalled Over Fire Risk

It clearly was an accident so may be insurance claimable. However, they may not treat him so well on re-insuring and that's even assuming they don't wriggle out of paying on the grounds he was using it for racing or was contributory negligent making a reduced payment.
I'd guess he just overheated the differential in the transmission as it seemed to start under the front behind the wheel. Pulling doughnuts the inner and outer wheels will have been turning at differing speeds so the diff will have heated up. Maybe there was a fuel line that was touching that melted and then dropped fuel onto the hot transmission starting the fire. Eiher way, 5 mins of hooning and months of headaches with insurers, hunting a replacement and no truck.

Only just read this. Again entirely possible as he's getting the engine hot pulling doughnuts and the heater takes the heat straight off the engine.
I must have laughed for ten minutes straight - Best 2022 Security video to date! 
Doing donuts in cold weather should NEVER end this way. Think about it, it can tow 18,000 or more pounds in high temps going up grades and do it for hours. Over heat and catch fire after a few donuts? No friggin way. Probably one of his mods failed….fuel line, oil line, electrical or something along those lines.

I am willing to bet it was his iPhone that caught the truck on fire.
To be more accurate it was probably a Samsung well known to blow up, light on fire, and banned all over the world:

Bed of the truck appeared to be full of snow. Depending on how long the snow had set in there, it could be extremely heavy. Truck is squatted down a little in the back.
I agree, play stupid games, win stupid prize's.

Just to add.
I brought a new Ford F150 back in 2001.
A year later I received a recall notice that said:
The cruise control module can catch on fire just sitting in the driveway. True story...
I now own 2015 F150 after having the 2001 for 14 years. The only recalls are for the doors open by there self. I do not care about the doors coming off, I wear a seat belt.
