Looking for a new truck
#11

i have a 2000 F 350 i ordered and bought new. it is in great condition and will pull a house. the f650's are really cool, but seem like overkill to me. but, i like overkill. so that is good. getting in and out of the 650 or a freightliner you have to climb. some dont like to do that all the time. i have lifted my f350 quite a bit and i have to get a running start to get in it. ha

Georgia can testify to the need for assistance in getting into Tom's truck.

I need to overcome my shortcomings so a big truck can help with that.. Lol. A new 1 ton truck is 65-70k I just figured I rather have something bigger for the same $ that has a lot of the depreciation squeezed out

here is the truck the general contractor jeff that is building my shop drives.

notice the chrome air horn behind the front tire.

he also did a full sized semi to look even more rad by far than this. a show truck. and one year he won the world championship for loudest stereo. like blow your ears out loud.

it is even bigger than it looks in person.

The chrome skull hood ornament is certainly different. Pretty neat truck. Try getting that in a residential garage!

he has a 9000 sq foot garage. yea, i didnt make a mistake. 9000 sq foot. but, it is way smaller than his house anyway. the gorilla does things in a big way.
