    Wow,that is one nice truck Chris. Will certainly be handy having everything you need at work places with you all the time. All it needs is a couple of "Let's Dig " rear mudflaps!

    Awesome truck Chris. And everyone has their own opinion on trailers but so far we’ve loved our trail boss with a 30,000 gvwr tilt deck it follows like a dream and handles our d6k like a dream behind our f-450

    Cab and chassis tucks have much different rear frames compared to a trucks with boxes. Fleet type trucks which are usually cab and chassis configuration are detuned for longevity purposes.

    Word of the wise. Take it in and have your coffin boxes bed lined. Because believe me eventually you’re gonna use it as a workbench throwing stuff on top of it and beating on things with a hammer. You’re gonna ruin that nice paint pretty quick dragging jumper cables, hoses, and chain over the side. I had mine done And that was the best $400 decision I ever made

      Exactly. They always arrive two by two. At least this round of trucks are not caused by a wreck like last time. That was going down when I first started watching the channel. Rough spot to jump in.

    Just took delivery of a 23 F450 cab & chassis. Going to customize a Bradford Built Steel 4 Box Utility skirted flat bed. Bought the bed disassembled and no powder coat. We will do some modifications to it and then sandblast and paint it. Same color truck too!

  • @robert.89
    @robert.89 Год назад +17

    Looks fantastic, it's a functional tool with some nice creature comforts. If you ever do get sick of the two tone look you can always wrap the bed, lot cheaper then paint.

    Congratulations on your new truck! I've been a FORD guy for many, many years. I'm on my 5th F-150. 20 years ago I had and loved an F-250 in this time as well. Each time I trade up they get better and better! My current is a 2021 Platinum with many of the same "luxury" additions you have. I just pull a tandem axle, 18' enclosed trailer, hauling our show car. It does a great job and is extremely comfortable. I know you'll love your new F-450! The bed install looks perfect and should be very handy. Congratulations again, be well, be safe!

  • @bishopcorva
    @bishopcorva Год назад +5

    Sharp looking truck for sure, and a nice happenstance on the acquisition. Switching to a goose neck does seem like a good idea. Ya don't want to be right on the ragged edge of capacity, better to have more cushion space just in case you find something on the way to or from work that just needs to be brought home. Not withstanding having the extra braking is always a good thing for when you need it right now, and not in an extra hundred feet under load.

  • @leegoldman7491

    Chris I have a 2018 STX V6 with twin turbos rated at 417 hp mine has four door but it is the extended cab not the full size four door cab the same color as yours, trust me that truck will scare you it's a good thing I'm 74 years old and drive it like I have good since, enjoy your new truck and congrats...

  • @kensmith8832
    @kensmith8832 Год назад +1

    Most trucks today are designed for city folks as a every day car for driving to a job at a local factory. For example, steel wheels are a requirement for areas that use heavy amounts of salt during the winter, but finding steel wheels is difficult. Salt eats under the beads on aluminum wheels. Engines need to be big, but most come with a city boy engine. Then comes the interior that should remind you of pole barn and not a limo. International had a smaller truck designed for the work truck category. Also the door handles on those trucks have a plastic cover which allows the truck to be broken into.

  • @evquietcornerct3210
    @evquietcornerct3210 Год назад

    keep some type of mudflaps on the front tires. the power boards get all junked up if you don't, and that causes the motor to strain and fail. and i imagine you will get some seat covers for it, too ! great looking setup !!!!

    I feel the backup camera comment. We bought a used 2019 crew cab chevy 2500 utility bed truck and it didnt have camera hooked up. Had the ability but they didnt put one on it. We put a ARE topper and asked if they could get a camera for it they did and its So much easier hooking trailer up now by yourself.

    I've wondered for a long time why you stick with BP/Pintle trailers, I just figured its what you had around. They make sense if you're towing with a dump truck a lot, though. I just hate most BP trailers, and the long, heavy tongue on these amplifies the problems I perceive.
    Truck looks sharp with the new bed. Look into the (fairings?) piece under the bumper from a 2wd truck, they don't stick down as far.

  • @dustyroads834
