An f450 high output dually??I think this is dumb as hell?Maybe it would be acceptable if it was a regular f350 or 250.
Only if you're a builder / farm hand in the deep rural areas. Aside from that it's just a gimmick to flaunt with.
>>28995225Do you know how heavy that guys wife is anon?
>>28995225>needDo you "need" a car that does 0-60 in 3 seconds and hits 1.21G's on the skidpad on public roads?
>>28995242Yes i need it to commute to a 40 mile work range.
Can you even tow with a lifted truck wouldn't the front of the trailer be too high?
>>28995225from a realistic standpoint do you really need to suck dick or do you just like to
>He doesn't have 975 lb-ft of torque from a 6.6L>He doesn't have a 5th wheel setup in the bedHigh country. Took this pic in the last 5 min.
>>28995226>builder / farm handIt's a Show truck dude, NOT a Work truck>Brush your shoes off before you get in mutherfucker!>Sorry bro,you gotta take the Bus, you're too dirty to ride in my truckI can go on if you'd like..and you KNOW that I'm correct here.
>>28995264>muh High Country bullshit on 2 screens>Instrumentation obscuredAre you watching a film or paying diligent attention to the task at hand:DRIVING SAFELY
>>28995259All those trucks run drop down hitches and squat the fuck out of their rear end when trying to tow any actual weight on a bumper htich. The pictured setup seems to do fine with gooseneck mounts but barely anyone that buys these trucks actually runs that set up.
>>28995225I need a massive truck like this to tow my inflatable dinghy to the boat ramp.
>>28995225I don't know, but do you need to make yet another thread cunting the fuck out about what other people drive?jesus fucking christ susan.
>>28995293I don't know, but do you need to make yet another post cunting the fuck out about what other people post about?jesus fucking christ shaniqua.
>>28995283It's one of my dad's trucks (he's 76). I drive a miata. I hate driving that Silverado. It's stupid, I don't know who conned him into a 6-figure truck but here we are.The golf cart is better around the farm for 90% of things.
>>28995296pic displays beauty and the beast. which one is the beast is up for debate.
>>28995289If you need a truck that big aren't you towing with a gooseneck?
>>28995296>I drive a miataAhh,I remember you anon.You posted this fine house before.>6 figuresGrim..Save your shekels, unlike Dad, lol.
>>28995306This guy has dementia. He just shows up one day with a $105,000 truck. He's got other vehicles, his previous truck was a V8 maybe 3 years old. I'd love to punch the guy who sold him that in the face. I get it, my dad wants to live out his farmer dreams, but goddamn he was taken advantage of.It's not even that exciting, you think 975 lb-foot will be fun? You were wrong. It's a diesel and not geared for driving pleasure but for towing like 30,000 lbs. It's huge, what the fuck, I learned to drive on a '90s Suburban, but this is too much. I do not like driving it holy fuck.
>>28995296time to paint that house something other than gray
>>28995226Builders do not need trucks like this. They order shit to the jobsite and at most they bring a 2 axle trailer with some tools in them for their guys. They then park it on the side of the road for the 8-10 hours they're on site. I've literally never seen a builder need anything more than an f150 because if they do need it, they're getting it brought in by a supplier who has a real truck and is making multiple deliveries a day. Most construction workers i know drive to work in a corolla. The owners usually drive massive trucks for no reason because blue collar guys make being a blue collar guy their entire personality because they have nothing else interesting about them.
>>28995296do americans really have three garages?
>>28995333What would painting the house do for me? What benefit would I receive? Quite frankly, it would look like ass in any other color.
>>28995341Uh. I have 4 standard car garages, an RV garage (with hookups, a stove, an oven, etc), and a roll-up tractor garage. So 6 garages. And a barn that can fit 3-4 cars.Murrica, baby.
>>28995341>three garagesNot that unusual out in the country.In the Suburbs, not so much.It's smart because that 3rd bay can serve as the Utility shed and workshop.
>>28995296So many daddy’s money brats on here
>>28995355You voted for capitalism. That's how it works.
Why is there an HO PSD in an F450? I thought they detuned engines in heavier duty vehicles for longevity.
>>28995296Based Miata and Truck owner
>>28995371Based. I miss my black NA8 so much ;_;Pic probably 15 years ago. This NB is just as good if not better but I miss the one I grew up with. Had it 11-12 years.
>>28995245Then you are on a public road with speed limits and laws regarding "exhibition of speed".Accelerating at a rate of 0-60 mph in 3 seconds on public streets is illegal in all 50 states.You only "need" to be able to safely keep up with traffic.Therefore the only thing you "need" is a Toyota Camry.
>>28995264Lol.GM really does just copy Ford.
I daily a F350. I have a desk job. I do it because I can afford it and because fuck you. Deal with it.
Can someone explain exactly what the differences between the 150 250 350 and 450 truggs are?I've never had this explained to me. I broadly understand the larger numbers are for towing heavier loads and are potentially larger, but in terms of specific suspension differences????
>>28995296LOL, my dad spent under $50k on a lightly used Sierra with the 5.3L V8.Who spends $100k on a fucking Chevy? GMC is the upscale brand.
>>28995432>Who spends $100k on a fucking Chevy?He's 76, he has dementia and is in cancer remission. I think it's idiotic as fuck and want to mash the skull of whoever sold him on it, but it's what he wanted I guess. Who am I to deny him what he worked for?
>>28995424F-150 has independent front suspension and light-duty leaf springs tuned to be responsive when unloaded since 99% of F-150's will never see more than 100lbs in the bed.Once you get to 250 and beyond you're at solid front axles and progressively heavier axles and beefier/stiffer springs and everything's tuned to damp with a load which means a shit ride when unloaded. You have a heavier frame for strength to carry the load.Anyone who buys a 250 or above because "bigger number must be better" rather than because they're going to be using it as a truck is a retard. They're not designed to be good unloaded.
>>28995300(The Miata is both)
>>28995424150/1500 class is "half ton".So medium duty payload with 1,000 load capacity on the rear suspension (bed and trailer tongue weight, not what it can actually."pull")(You can think of the old Ranger/S10/Hulux.as 1/4 ton trucks)250/2500 are 3/4 ton.350/3500 is 1 ton.3/4 and 1 ton trucks use a different chassis, susoension and driveline. Everything's bigger (8 lug instead of 5) but some years use same body panels as 1/2 ton.Ford came out with the F100. Dodge came out with the D100. Chevy had the C10/K10 series (C= 2wd, K=4wd)Ford went to the F150 for a "5/8 ton", GM went to the 1500 for marketing because "bigger number better".This was just basically.how it played out and now its somewhat pointless because everyone is trying to outdo the other so payloads have gone berserk within each class.
>>28995449>They're not designed to be good unloaded.This goes with old boomer lore about trucks "handling better with a load".Its actually true.Front wheel camber changes from unloaded to fully loaded. (Ass end dropped down)You dont want a truck thats perfect when unloaded and then shitty all the other times. So they put the "sweet spot" in the middle so it handles ok when empty or fully loaded.Think of->ass end higher than front>level>ass end lower than front
>>28995296>posting the front of your house with a rare combination of cars parked infront
>>28995424Add a zero and that's how many pounds you can throw in the truck bed. Newer models can take some more.
>>28995495You know, people used to share things here.The concept of "opsec for everyone" just makes everyone really boring and no one shares anything. I have a current Security+, but I do not care. There has to be a balance of security and living life.
>>28995469I wish the Colorado and Ranger were still 1/4 ton trucksthey feel as big as older 1/2 ton trucks now
I just bought an old 1996 f-superduty which was like the F-450 of its time...
>>28995355You're just mad your parents are fat, broke retards.
>>28995553it was a joke you fucking mong
>>28995273Have you been in a modern piece of farm or earth moving machinery? Their interiors are pretty fucking opulent. What the fuck is wrong with working in comfort?
>>28995225i might get this for doing light work
>>28995355Try making more than 40k a year, poorfag
>>28995225Shitty compensation tank.
>hurr durrr U dun NEED dat ar-15 with a 60 round magazineI hate big ass ford beanmobiles but i hate the dumb "need" argument even more because i can and will buy whatever I want because it's within my right to do so.Like it or not, trucks have been status symbols for a long time now, if you hate it so much then go write to your state reps
>>28995420>I daily a F350Post it, or gtfo.Enjoy your $80,000 half-ton!>Honey! I told you not to eat in my truck! Look at that mess
>>28995225Boring and gay car
>>28996025I daily a F-350 as well... It gets used and abused. T. Farmer.
