    I bet taking that picture made your father's day. I am sure he is so proud of the man you are. Seeing those young men look up to you and the message you have helped spread is something special.

    @megammon53 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    All the top comments are about what kind of truck. I was thinking how cool it was that you went out of the country and first day ran into some fishing freaks that follow you. How cool is that to be recognized no matter where you go. Have a great trip!

    Justin, first and fore most, happy father's day to you and LFD. Second, I am a car salesman. I sold GM for 7 years, and for the last 6+years been with Ford. They didn't take the bail out money, and no other engine can compare to our ecoboost! My personal and professional opinion of course. Also, you get what you pay for and what I mean by that is the Dodges are decent trucks, however they are cheaply made. That's why they are the "best deal" as some would say. You can't spend 10k less and get equal value! It's like comparing a bass tracker to a Skeeter.... Just not the same. (Oh now you get it with that refference haha) also, great news about babby boy LFG. I have 3 daughters, and can't wait for grandsons!. If you ever make it out to Oregon, look me up. I'll show you a good time.

    Ford F-150, I drive my dad's old one from 2003 still going strong, my Dad drove a 2013 King Ranch we got a good deal on for a few years and loved it until we got in a wreck and it was totalled. He now has a 2017 and we love that one too!! On our third one now and we've had good experiences with all of them! If you like Toyota the Tundra is a great truck as well

    Either the new Tundra (Texas edition of course) or the Ram Eco-Diesel. My Father-in-law has the Eco-Diesel and it's great. 26mpg towing a 22ft bay Scout from South Carolina to Marathon, FL. Looks like you guys had a blast. I got a new spinning combo and a certificate for a guided striper trip for Father's day, so I was a happy man.

  • @chamilton9182
    @chamilton9182 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I will try to make this quick but I have to explain my bias. I have a 2016 Tundra (2x2). Good truck. Looks amazing, and I am confident that because it's a Toyota, it will last me a long time, which is why I bought it. My husband is currently in a 2016 Ford F150. He has also had a few F250's (diesel and gas....all great trucks). His 2016 Ford F150 (gas) 4X4 , V6 has got more torque and horse power than my Tundra V8 (small block). But there is also a BIG day to day difference. The F150 rides so smooth.... I bounce around in my tundra. It has WAY MORE options than my Tundra (we both got the middle of the road packages on said trucks). The middle of the road on a Tundra is a FAR cry from the F150. Just little things, but they add up in a hurry. When I compare them to all that my Tundra doesn't have, it makes me wish I had went for a Ford instead. Oh and also, my Tundra gets 14mpg in town and 16 on the highway. My husband gets 19 in town and 21 on the highway (even pulling the 19' Champion). Hope that helps. Tundra is a good truck. But Ford is a great one!

  • @shiffer253
    @shiffer253 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hey LFG, The new Titans have a 5 year 100k mile bumper to bumper warranty, the XD model is better equipped for towing and hs a pretty long bed. It's the best warranty for a truck in the country as of this time. Also comes in an available diesel option. i'm A mechanic for a Nissan Dealer. Not a sales person lol. they have very little mechanical issues, the 5.7l v8 is the same as the previous model, just with an updated intake system with better filtration. The diesel option is a 5.0l 8 cylinder turbo engine. that was originally used in Greyhound buses. Then recently adapted to the Titan with a new turbo and intake system. it is a great value and comes standard with a lot of features you tend to need to buy an options vehicle to get at all.

    I'll give it to you, Favorite makes some nice looking stuff, and I imagine it performs well. It's difficult to justify spending almost $300 dollars on a rod though. Which is a shame, because I can really appreciate what Favorite does for the Googan Squad and the effect that both of them are having on the fishing industry. Anyway, cool vid LFG! A long trip up north for smallmouth, walleye, pike and muskie is definitely on my bucket list.

    Right now it is the perfect time to buy a pickup truck the new model years are starting to hit the lots and the 18's are being discounted majorly..... I am a Mopar man through and through and they have some nice trucks.... Since your dad has had extreme reliability in his Titan I would say look at another one of those. All the trucks these days are really close to one another in reliability and durability.

All these little Northwest towns are unique, and have something different to offer. I feel like your limiting yourself to one place.

Plenty of torque to handle loading it up with a kayak and gear. 8000+lb towing capacity and averaging over 30mpg on the highway. Seems very good for what he would need it for. I’m looking at one myself.

    Another awesome vid man, can't wait to see more
    As far as trucks go, im an automotive professional, and I think there is a lot of variables to consider. Im going to assume you don't want to deal with a diesel, especially given all the new regulations, sensors, DEF, etc. As far as gas motors go, you gotta figure out what POWERTRAIN ticks all the right boxes for your personal use. Think of it like this, if you're going into uncharted territory in a harsh climate, you're not reaching for a shakespeare with a digital reel, right?
    Do not buy anything from FCA. I make more money off fixing their vehicles than any Euro luxury models. They are a constant failure. Toyotas can be great trucks - good gas mileage, comfortable - but they were not developed to be work trucks. Some of their trucks will go 200k with no problems, but most will require repairs, especially electrical/sensor repairs. Ford has improved their designs over the past few years, but they're falling into the same trap as many Japanese motors; too much technology. Single or dual overhead cam engines mean higher efficiency (mpg per cubic inch, torque curves), however more moving parts means more opportunity for failure. Things like VVT solenoids, cam/crank sensors, are always an issue. You gotta K.I.S.S. it.
    To do that, you go with the most reliable, most mass-produced engines of ALL time: the GM small block. It's an overhead valve engine, meaning more compact, and most importantly less parts connected to the timing chain (cylinder heads, chain tensioners, sprockets), as well as much better lubrication throughout the entire block, which means less wear and tear on the powertrain. I saw in the video that y'all were happy about the Titan reaching 200k, and I am impressed myself since not many reach that milestone. Usually either their DOHC design or the all aluminum block fail before it can get there.
    Anyways, my opinions aside, if you're ever passing through Oklahoma I will be more than happy to make my shop available to get y'all back on the road. Just lmk and I'll open the doors. We're also one of the only shops that still rebuilds rear diffs, its a dying art. We don't have the best bass fishing in OK, (Texas is better...) but if y'all ever want to do some bushcraft camping then lmk. I have areas already built or set aside lol

    If I remember right, you'll get the best towing capability out of a F150 with the 3.5L Ecoboost V6. Longest bed you can get with that engine is a 6 1/2 though. Well that's if you're getting a super crew or a super cab.
