    I WORK AT THE PLANT where these trucks are built. We build the F-350, F-450, F-550, and F-600 chassis cab trucks, the E-Series cut-a-way vans, and the F-650 and F-750 chassis cab trucks in Avon Lake, Ohio. I work in Skilled Trades, keeping the tooling, equipment, and tools working, repaired, preventive maintenance, and redesign and improve the tools and tooling. It is something to see these trucks get built. If you ask the Plant Manager, he might even arrange for a tour, with your RUclips channel being what it is.

      Yeah however, all of Europe is less than half of the size of the the U.S. which means a lot of people rely on big trucks to move all kinds of things. For example we do monthly dump runs because we dont have communal garbage pick up, when we do landscaping we have to haul the materials to and from our house, towing trailers with large equipment on them, etc. Its hard to compare the 2 very different living situations, sort of like someone in NY city judging someone living in Wyoming.

      My area people know about the 550. Simply due to their use as the basis for our local bus chassis. The primary reasons being of course, they're high capacity buses along with the engine Bay because they got out the original Ford.Engine and put in a large natural gas engine that's almost oversized.

Add that to having many different purpose-built trucks, like a full sized semi used like a mini train engine to pull rail cars around, F-350 ditch mower with steering and gas/brakes on both the left and right sides of the cab, huge turbine blower trucks used to clear away snow and ballast, an assortment of different sized trucks with cranes, dump trucks with rotating dump boxes, trucks with enormous welders that essentially superheat 2 rail ends and smash them together, and a lot more.

    That's cool to see the difference series. Thank you. Also, at the end you said F series and as a Toyota guy I just thought what about the Lexus IsF, GsF, and RcF (maybe Lc500 and Is500) from the roots of the LFA? Idea

    I just love the more absurd trucks like the f550 or the chevy hd5500

    The f series truck go past the king ranch trim all the way into the platinum trim, which is usually around 75k+ options one step above the king ranch and the F150 raptor is also part of the f series and arguably one of the least depreciating trucks out there.

      Technically the Limited is the highest trim (which was cut for 2024 making the platinum the highest again)

      The raptors are the only fords I’d own. They seem the most reliable outta the bunch for the daily driver and they also look badass

      @@LUNArXpedition thays very true the limited was the creme of la creme. The top trim with very few options available since everything was already included in the package. On top of the limited number of trucks produced (get the pun? 😆)

      That is saying something since Fords have terrible resale.

    As a teenager my dad had an F-350 Super Duty Dually. Had the extended cab and bed. He drove it for his business, but I loved driving that truck when he didn't need it. It dwarfed all the other trucks the kids and parents at my school drove. I normally drove my Ford Taurus, so it was a fun change-up. Polar opposite driving experience. lol

    I actually have a F750 at my job at the airport. I did not realize that they were fitted for garbage trucks. The F 750 is fitted at my job for pulling heavy cargo on these big towable dollies. The length of the truck is shortened and when I drove it a couple times, I felt all the bumps for sure 😂. Really cool to think about.

    The F650 has a modification with a bed that turns into an absolute beast.
    Baseball Player Nelson Cruz has one!
