The way light duty trucks are going, this is a sneak peek at the 2030 group of trucks lmao
🤣
Accept by then they will be pulling 45-50k
@@yotatrd5.758 with brakes designed for half that amount lol. Nice screename I have a Tundra
@@yotatrd5.758 lol our GVM and GCM laws here in Australia will need a massive update they way they are ATM we cant even max out a Ram 3500 the max GCM in Australia is 9000kg (19,841 lb) to max it our you would need to get it classed as a semi truck and get a semi license.
Phalanx 380 in austria you cant even register such trucks maximum is 3500kg for car an Trailer combined. So technically even a heavy car such as a rolls Royce must be registered as a semi truck.....
Well I would be happy with a $65K-$70K dually. Then I could save the extra $100K
I love these trucks! They are a fantastic option for those who can afford them and need a dedicated towing beast! Great review and showcase as always. I also love having a pickup truck bed for those trips to the hardware and feed store when not towing.
Thanks for the kind comment. We love your vids as well. Keep up the great work!
True but if you have one of these, you probably have a couple of ranch pickups for those mundane duties ;).
Jd, you already planning on trading the f450 for one of these?
This truck plus a big enough trailer to justify it, may as well get a class A. The only time this would make sense is in the case of an actual Class 8 (which of course this is nowhere near) that an owner operator trucker already has. That's pretty niche.
Its a normal tractor with a bed. Only differance is a 9 liter engine. Id by an old tractor without emmisions and convert it. With a fifthwheel attachment as needed for trailer.
Whats really cool is for 162k you get a key fob that unlocks your doors......🙄
...That is an aftermarket add-on you can put on any vehicle.. (hence the reason for the trunk button...) looks like a DEI remote to me. The kit is prob $35 retail but if you buy this truck, you get it for $1198.75.
All that said.. Nice truck!!
Not only that it's a $50 Avital alarm system! Fancy shit right there.
Holton C no what is really cool is you pay 162k for the key fob and they throw in the truck!!
It's actually very uncommon as far as I know to have a fob for a medium or heavy duty truck unless it's a ford or gmc or something and idk if even those come with fobs I haven't had any of them, but it is a pretty half ass aftermarket fob for 162k.
Holton C. And don't forget the bitchin rodeo belt buckle with matching chain drive wallet. lol YAHOO!
Look at the price of an A class Tractor. It can be had for $160k, or less. Compare that to a $90k pickup, and you’ll see that pickups are overpriced.
So rich people can pretend to be super trucker 9000
He’s acting like all this stuff is new lol it has all been out for years
No freight shaker is worth 162,000$
You mean $162,000
I agree.
What about, say, one with a 120" luxury bunk?
Jags I think they were being particular about the positioning of the $.
I got my frieightshaker just put a new kitty cat in it sounds manly A.F but still a freight shaker lol
you can get it cheaper by getting the same truck from freight liner and then get a bed for it
It's the same body style from 2003. You can easily find a used, pre-emssion, low mile m2 cheap. Anybody who'd spend 160k on this has more money than sense.
You can buy a full-size rig used for far less than that and make more money with it.
Both are true
@@josenoyola9851 beg to differ, the hot shot guys using the one ton trucks make very good money and truthfully if I was going to do that I would buy one of these used instead of a one ton since you can find these on the second hand market for fairly reasonable.
not really, the leather seats, the chrome, the wood trim, the bus tires, the polished Alcoas, the tire balancers, the custom bed, the custom paint job, the voyager camera system, the air-ride GN/5W hitch, are all custom add-ons from the custom shop. Sure, you can buy a new M2 crew cab, but it's gonna have none of the features this truck has, you'll get a basic work truck that you'll have to build up yourself.
Can you guys do a toe test up the gauntlet at like 30,000 lb put it up against a Dodge in a Ford and a Chevy
No contest. That truck will beat GM,FORD & DODGE with ease. And it will outlast them as well.
Robert Benkenstein it probably won't go faster up the hill but it will go down the hill better and handle better...the new pickups have tons of power. These trucks are detuned to go a million miles. It's definitely a more comfortable towing experience but that's really what all semi trucks are about.
@@markbremmer8642 dodge and freightliner will walk away still driving even for the dodge being the pickup truck it wont tow as good as the freightliner but my point is both cummins will walk away untouched
I have driven a box truck with the same engine and transmission as this one. It could definitely use some more power for the size, as I feel it is underpowered as it is. Plenty of torque though.
Is that a camel toe test?
Or are talking about a towing test?
$162k? Might as well spend another $20k on a Class 8 truck...
You can get a really nice used class 8 with a condo sleeper and automated 9spd manual for about $15 with only 300k miles on it... or my pick a box truck with a reefer and a lift gate... they'll tow 30,000 and you can make big money delivering things locally ...
For the amount of money this cost I'd just get a semi. You'll lose your a$$ getting this truck to run your hot shot business!!!
Agreed. This truck is for rich people to haul their horses and look good. Put it up against a 350/3500 Turbo diesel on the IKE Gauntlet and I bet it loses pretty badly. Love the air ride parts and high durability parts, but yeah you can get a layed-out Semi for that.
@@Clint_the_Audio-Photo_Guycould you get a new semi for 160k? Just curious no idea what they run.
@@adamton7274 yes you can . But then the road taxes change .so if you are going to do hot shot stuff this would be a good class of truck. Just get read of the bed and put a fithwheel on it
@@ray-vf6ux i have semi trucks. brand new they cost around 150k fully loaded. i bought mine for 148 fully loaded plus my cab is 3 feet longer my engine is 515HP and 1650-1850 lbf∙ft torque and 13speed transmission, extra axle and can tow 80,000lbs. this truck is way too overpriced. no matter what they say about the motor if it is 2008 or newer it will not go half million miles without major repair, trust me i been in trucking since 1992.
Just paid $158 for my new Cascadia from fyda. Trans West are gonna be sitting on those forever for $160k
9:08 is going to scare your lot lizard, during her escape!😁
The old senior citizen truck guy should be thinking about this
hahahaha....very funny. However he mentioned when it was in gear. Hopefully youre not mean enough to make her tuck and roll lmao
@@coltheesacker5656 Sometimes they need to get out, while the gettin's good.
@@EM-fi2qg right... it hasta happen once in a while
No comparison would be needed if people would stop expecting a Pickup to pull loads that truthfully require a Semi to handle.
The dashboard color and material are just hideous. Straight off a mercedes from the 60s
Yes but the rear bumper is qenuine garage hand(?) made! And seems you could get a year 2020 500hp Volvo vnl with quickshift and sleeper for 155 000 USD...
A used Volvo would be more effective
Or a freightliner from 2000-now
Yeah, the color and that fake BS woodgrain makes me wanna puke.
@@GTOAviator
They held out the ugliest color they could find.
I'm lost here, for what this cost you can get a class 8 road tractor. The dash is the same as a mid 2000's Columbia. Why not just buy a platinum f550 and have a more practical vehicle. And I hate the horn blowing just because I didn't pull the park brake before opening the door. I guess this is what a Dr buys for his wife to pull the wife's 2 horses.
I will take 2 ford f450 limited's for the price of this truck
When will you test the new chevy silverado 1500 duramax?
You can't get a Duramax in a 1500
@@SoI_Badguy bullshit
Still trying to figure out how you get 6 separate "air systems" from 2 air tanks. How many systems are left when you have with 2 empty air tanks?
Air tanks are recharged by engine mounted compressor.
2 air systems, 6 subsystems.
So if you have to have a cdl for that truck, why wouldn't you save yourself $60K and get yourself a class 7or 8 truck
Yep, and I just don't see many retirees being able to pass a DOT Medical. Most seasoned CDL drivers sweat going in for their physicals.
I'd just get an M2 chassis with fifth wheel. None of the fancy expensive stuff.
$162K is an absolutely insane price. I’m a commercial driver and freightliners are known to be the throwaway trucks of the industry. I saw a 2018 Peterbilt 379 500HP tractor and it was absolutely stunning in every way! The driver said he paid $140K for it new, it hauls over 60K lbs, and makes him over $200K a year as an owner/operator. This truck is overpriced, requires a CDL, is underpowered and the interior looks like it’s from the 90s. NO THANKS!!
Exactly!!! It doesn't make sense!!! Needs improvement,an a better price!! 90k max
Nice truck, but $160k is pretty steep for a little single screw truck with only 350hp. I run a 4 axle fully optioned '19 Western Star 4964SB Heavy Haul tractor with an X15 650hp/2050 torque Cummins and 18 speed that didn't cost a whole lot more than that. Pretty nice and impressive in the parking lot, but not at all cheap.
Thomas Kirk most of those folks that do the horse shows got the money to blow on one of those trucks lol
You also probably bought if from Western Star, not an upfitter who charges money for the stuff the truck had standard from Freightliner.
That's true. It's a nice little rig, but that's a pretty big price for the truck. The upside of that truck is that it's built to handle the bigger loads, so the longevity and dependability should be there.
u would have to sell your house and wife to afford one of these. sign me up
Big Bossman you might some just wright a check ..
🤔
I wonder if this would be a good option truck for Hotshot trucking ???
4:53 seconds in. Yes it is CDL territory IF used in commerce. You can buy it for private use and pull your own trailer WITHOUT a Commercial driver's license. If you are pulling your stuff and not in commerce, no cdl. Colorado you can drive with a standard license as long as it is registered as and rv and not commercial, even pulling your own trailer. Some states have a non-commercial class system for this set up but still not a cdl requirement.
For the cost it needs a better dashboard. I believe Navistar's started using the past generation GM truck dashboards and steering wheels with the push-button controls. Put a sunroof in. Make the map screen a whole lot bigger!
As a truck driver who is currently sitting in a Kenworth T680 with a 455hp/1850 ft-lb 13 liter MX series engine and a 16-speed Eaton Fuller Ultrashift Plus with 3.55 rear axles..
This is a damn nice truck too. I'd buy one if I had the cash.
Same price as your Kenworth. I'll take the Kenny
The KW has a shaper turn radius than the Freight Liner does.
As a truck driver the last thing I want to do on my days off is get in another truck.
I'll take my truck without the garbage auto... Current haul pig is a freightliner 122sd dd13 Detroit 505hp 1850tq 18speed Eaton with 3.91 rears with full lockers, regularly pulling over 100,000lbs
In first gear your KW has over 100,000 ft/lbs at the rear wheels
Okay where's my 2003 GMC Topkick?
Holy crap, 162K? Might as well buy a used W900 for 55K
Same. More powerful engine, tows a lot more, has a sleeper, more reliable
I'd take mine in dark grey and plasti-wood swapped out for brushed alum. Truck does not look like it was built with recent tech or design. Current form kind of looking a bit 90's style...
freightshaker came out with that body style in the early 2000s. They don't put a ton of money into aesthetics because most people aren't buying them to look at. Summit Hauler could probably have picked a better starting point to build these off of aesthetically speaking but they are well made trucks as far as it goes.
From all the old guys that I've heard Freightliner is a poor mans peterbilt
They are not exactly brilliant, Freightshaker is an appropriate name. like Navistar are the bottom of the barrel in Australia
@@jesustrevizo3148 That used to be the case back when freightliner made proper conventional trucks which ended with the classic XL. Now all they make is the cascadia. Freightliner and peterbilt are barely competitors any more. There isn't too many massive fleets buying petes and there aren't too many O/Os buying freightliners.
@@robertryan7204 I think navistars are trash all around the globe lol
My 2019 dodge drw will hold 5510 lbs, and tow 32000. It only cost $ 38k.
400 hp and 1000lbs torque stock, after tuning 465hp and 1250 lbs torque,
Take that freighter.
Oh and btw I get better fuel mileage, and truck weights half as much, so power to weight ratio blows you away lol
Just drive what works for you
It is so funny how they compare this to a dually. Not really comparable, but great review non the less. Good job guys 👍🏼
Yea it cost almost triple the amount
As the few have already tried towing a fifth wheel trailer with a one ton dually when they believe to have heart stopping moments when they upgrade to a commercial vehicle believing it was to have the capacity and then some of what the dually did offer. As for about a quarter million they can have a semi that was to put a one ton dually to shame.
Love TFL series. Many great reviews of vehicles (like this Freightliner) that I would never own, but find very interesting and watch just for fun. Glad they review them.
Manual regen switch ONLY works with the parking brake applied and sitting still. Usually takes 15-30 minutes. While you're rolling, the regen can happen automatically.
I'd like to see it run up and down the Ike Gauntlet along with MPG numbers towing and not towing to see how it compares to a 1 ton dually in all aspects!!
TUCK FRUMP!!! > >> GO BERNIE GOGOGOGOGO!!!!!!!!!! >>> >>>> >>>>> >>>>>>
It would be really cool if they could coordinate the GPS unit with the Regen unit to enable automatic burn off prior to arriving at a steep grade.
You do realize what he said about the regen is completely wrong. A long pull would be just about the best place to do a regen. The higher EGTs would help burnout the DPF.
It’s all old technology loads of trucks have air everything and red dome lights, and a key fob* wtf
Too bad it's still just a glorified freightliner....I've yet to see any quality in their trucks. Literally the only thing I've ever seen good about them is their turning radius...
Northeast SXS
Ouch, sounds like you work in the industry.
@@igorsanchez408 yes sir I do, I drive tractor trailer for a living. I currently drive a freightliner cascadia day cab, not impressed with freightliner quality.
frightliners alway look like they are designed 1995 on the inside 😂
Not exactly brilliant, pretty poor compared to the new European Trucks we get here. Then we get Australianized US ! European, Japanese and imported US HDT's
The USB port is only 2.1 amp max. Most new phones require at least 3.1 amps to quick charge.
E30 M3 Quivk charging isn’t good to do on the regular as it burns the battery out quicker if you do. 2.1 amps is a solid charge if you ask me, way better than the standard bullshit 1 amp plugs and chargers.
Chevy, GMC, International and Ford had these back in the 2000s...
“The key is over here on the left like all semi trucks”.... with a freight liner badge on it
The bane Of my existence hino isuzu volvo international mack all on the right 😂 atleast they are trying
As a person that drives for a living it's not worth the horrible ride the higher insurance the worst fuel mileage there's nothing better about having it it's bigger it's more awkward in tight places more power but look at the power Duallys have nowadays no need for it
So, it's in the neighborhood of a semi price wise, has the tow rating of a 1 ton Ram regular cab, and you need a CDL to drive it.
Hmmm
I figured you guys would get put on a pike for the explanation of the air system, and the DPF Regen explanation.
If I were you guys, I'd take this video down, and do some serious editing before you're accused of being misleading.
It's clear that this truck is outside your scope.
A sin really.
Yea.... didn't know the Parked Regen would work while driving...
Cringe for us in the transportation industry. And trying to compare it to a one ton!!!
As long as for personal use, don’t need a CDL if from WI.
@@witkr904 Is that with or without Airbrakes?
Darkmatter2134 doesn’t matter. See my other post, states differ, some require air brakes, PA for one has a foot (feet) limit I have been told. In my state you can take a 8x8 from a military auction and drive it around with Collector Plates on a regular DL.
Found my new daily driver ;-)
Fast food drive thru, no problem lol
Forget those parking spaces for compact vehicles only. 😉
@@HP.Customs that's for lazy asses
You guys going to tow with it?
I was kinda hoping for an IKE test...
It's the other way around Andre. 1 ton luxury dually trucks will put this to shame in price, in basically everything.
I dunno.. if your towing 25k+ lbs with a truck on a regular basis, this is a truck that is made to make you the Captain of your rig and let you drive it in comfort and confidence, its just sketchy to be pulling a 35k lb trailer with an 8k lb truck with just regular disc brakes and a little exhaust brake, if anything went wrong while driving, there's no backup systems and things could get real hairy real fast, this truck is designed to pull those loads safely, mile in and mile out
Freightliner vs 1 ton dually with max load:
It stops quicker.
The max load is not limited by the powertrain but government regulation.
Gets better fuel economy.
Built to last 2 or 3 million miles ( no guarantee)
Cheaper to maintain.
Parts available 24/7
More stable at highway speeds.
Having said that, 160k I'll pass.
@@GrandmasterFU666 But, buy one used with a couple hundred thousand miles for $50-70k? That sounds smarter then a new fully loaded one to. Dually
Exactly, much more capable than a 1 ton
I stopped watching after the stupid comment of "just like any other semi truck the key is on the left" not all semis are on the left. Learn more before opening your mouth about false info.
Hate to say this. Not to bash. But for 162k. You can get one hell of a semi trk. Like a 389 pete loaded
Before I would buy this why not order a W900 sleeper single axle and pull your RV in style
You can flash your lights...really🙄
Andre, Keep polishing that motor and wishing you had a CDL.....
Actually he does have a CDL he just got it recently a few months back.
You guys aren't very good at comparing apples to apples are you? LOL ... it's always apples to pineapples, or coconuts or watermelons or something 😁
Comrade, if you are going to use your hands by pointing to stuff on your videos, you shouldn't bite your finger nails, because it's just gross!
...or you could always wear gloves.
"A lot of hot air on this truck" says Mr. Truck. Got a good chuckle from that comment. The tire balancers which supposedly add 25% or more life span to the tires was interesting.
But in my experience, they add significant life to both tires and suspension parts because they almost instantly adjust the balance of the axle end. I delivered travel trailers for a year, the boss put centralizers on all axle ends and it make a difference in the ride, as well as vehicle life. I was honestly surprised at the difference.
Cool review. It's footprint does not seem that much more than a dually, and seems to even have a better turning radius.
There’s a lot from this truck to a dually 3500
That thing reminds me of the old Ford Centurions you could get back in the 80's. Except this ones been to the gym on all the steroids.
The regen switch will do absolutely nothing until the ecm/acm prompts the operator to perform a parked regen
Not entirely true...
The regen switch can have a couple functions depending on how freight shaker set up that ISL9.
Most commonly, it performs what's called an active regen. You can perform one at any time so long as the truck is parked, there are no faults that would prevent a regen from occuring and there is enough DEF to perform the regen. It will cause the ECM to apply a load to the engine to heat up the exhaust as well as inject extra fuel into the exhaust to react with the oxidization catalyst to spike the exhaust temperatures to the point where it will combust the soot inside the particulate filter.
The other thing that switch can do is prevent the truck from running an active regen. If the ECM is left to it's own devices, it will cause the truck to run an active regen cycle as it sees fit. If you happen to be in a place where you don't want an active regen run, you flip that switch to tell the ECM that now isn't the best time to push 1200° exhaust out the stack.
Keep in mind that this won't necessarily prevent a passive regen from running, as a passive regen happens when the trucks exhaust is naturally high enough to combust the soot collected in the particulate filter, such as when pulling the Ike Gauntlet.
Hope this helps.
First PU truck maker of offer air-suspension seat(s) in their 2500, 3500, and up models will make a killing.
BlackBuzzzard Ford F650 & F750 has it. National Driver Seat.
That's cute ain't 4wd tho
WOW Can't believe it has a key fob and air seat that's like futuristic
In the 90s ford made a dually that the back seat could fold into a bed. This things interior also looks like it was from the late 90s. Very outdated
Will we see this big unit on the Ike with a full load?
Amusing and expensive. But my vehicles are chosen to meet my needs. I pull nothing larger than a vehicle on car hauler trailer, haul nothing larger than a load of firewood. Thus, a 3/4 ton is adequate. I can exceed the load capacity of this shiny toy, using a 60+ year old International farm truck. And it does not require a CDL.
Holy Smokes..... That is the Dopest truck .....
And halogen headlights -_-
If they were to offer it much closer to 100k then yes I would consider it
I can park my dually in a parking garage. Try that in this truck
With this truck, and the 5th wheel it is pulling you wont need a garage or a house. No mortgage or land taxes either.
Heres the problem... Its a freightliner, we only get kenwort or peterbilt
Both make similar trucks, if you don't mind shelling out 20-30K more for the same thing. Cause you can get the same engine and transmission in all three brands, with the same axles. Only difference is the cab.
12:11 Sissy socks 😂😂. Thank you. I've always hated those things. Now I have a fitting name for 'em.
That's because you probably have sissy legs.
Bed, red light, I smell Lot 🦎
Hate to burst your bubble, But you can lay across in the back seat of the megacab's. I am a little taller than Andre at 6'4" and have slept in the back of mine a few times. Quite comfortably might I add.
Do they make balancing rings for 1 ton trucks
Yes they do
You can buy two Dodge Cummings fully loaded extra everything.
Take off 70k for installer bed and install bed locally.
Can I get one of these with a Peterbilt 330 or 335 cab and chassis? And with a Eaton Fuller 10 speed manual.
th-cam.com/video/XZTjnMGEftg/w-d-xo.html
Lol
That is not a Pete 330 or 335. And not a crew cab.
@@Dirt_Relocation_Specialist nah it's better lol
I guess, depends on how you look at it though. That costs more to register because the 379 is a Class 8 and the 330-335 is class 7.
But one major key though, say you're hauling a race car or horses etc, wouldn't this truck require a log book and all that bs? Might be better off with a cab and chassis version of whichever one of the big three brands you prefer.
Should do an Ike test, as well as fuel economy
bet it averages 7-9 mpg. The 26 foot box truck I drive gets about 7-9 combined.
8mpg city, 8mpg highway, 8mpg ike. That's a bit of an exaggeration but for the most part that's how these big rigs are.
Depending on weight 6 to 10 mpgs
Jo Andre, how about two dualies for one of your freightliner..☺ nice truck but Im not sold think Dualies are more practical✌
If I become a hotshot this would be the truck!
Dualies are made for people who tow 15k on the regular, that class of truck is made for people who tow 30k on the regular. And this particular truck is just made for rich people like racing horse owners.
Thay alarm doesn't go off because the truck is in gear the alarm goes off because the brakes are not set
Picked up a 15 year ol peterbuilt hauler with the 14l engine and 3.8m miles for 5500 all in from the auction last week. Ugly bright red on red but hey...
Or instead of going to an upfitter who is charging you extra for standard parts, you could get it from Freightliner, or KW or Pete or International for under 100K. Out new KW T370 single cab with a Cummins and an Alison and diff lock, was about $72ish and is rated for 59,000 pounds truck and trailer weight.
This is just a 4 door version of the M2 Business class Freightliner and they are nice trucks, though the factory dash is nicer than whatever the upfitter did to this one.
I found them on the Internet for half that price long as you know what you're looking for and know how to shop around
most 1 ton dullys have close to the same towing numbers now
Big Bossman that’s cool and all but this truck will pull and stop a hell of a lot better . Also can get one for 60-70k new without the bed
Big Bossman they are lighter duty and would not last as long. This is built for a commercial lifetime, towing 75-100,000 miles a year.
@@svt89 So the bed cost $90-100k?
Exactly, if I was to compare the truck in the video to your average luxury dually I would much rather own a ram 5500 because it's as big as a regular dually and I can drive it daily more easily than this freightliner, I can see people who are into hotshots using this freightliner but at the same time if you have to get a CDL to drive it and it cost about $162k you might as well get a semi truck and do as much or more than this truck can
I admit the truck is cool but in my opinion I much rather save my money and get a dually or if I want to spend around $100k I might as well get a semi truck with a flattop sleeper, this truck is trying to convince me that it's the best of both worlds but in all honest all I got from it was that I'm better off choosing one or the other
The only people I can see this sort of benefitting is people who only use a truck to go camping or go to car shows/car competitions and need something to carry their cars with and a place to sleep in but even then some car trailers have a built in living quarters
Matt M it’s a luxury version of the freightliner M2 model is all for the money you can buy a brand new class 8 truck for the same as this model cost they are charging 160k for lol . I have a m2 with the isl Cummins tandem axle. They are built to take a beating the light duty 2500-5500s are not
You can turn the back seat into a bed, but is it Approved by DOT
You can actually purchase a kit that's approved by the DOT.
The kit includes new door panels.
Beautiful, but it doesn't make me hate my Dually.
no remote start booo
I want to correct some things that Mr. Truck said. The dash regeneration button only enables the user to do a manual or stationary regeneration when the DPF is highly soot loaded. If you hit the button and that condition is untrue, it will do nothing. Also, there should be no reduction in performance when the regeneration is occurring while pulling on grade, although fuel economy could be different.
Also, Andre says you can get higher power ratings with a Detroit Diesel but not in this M2-106 chassis to my knowledge. Detroit's DD8 is the largest Detroit option available for this chassis and the DD8 has a highest non-emergency rating of 350hp, but that rating has less peak torque (1050 lb-ft) than the engine in this video.
We’ve got a Peterbilt 335 4 door all black. With the same flatbed. It’s a Cummins ISX that’s been deleted. We use it to pull our 49 ft horse trailer. We absolutely love it. We had bought a Freightliner exactly like that on but it couldn’t handle the trailer but it had a mersadies Benz engine.
Why did they build this on a Freightliner chassis???? Freightliners have a rightfully deserved reputation of being poorly built rattle traps that fleets buy in bulk because they are CHEAP. I'd be demanding a Peterbilt or Kenworth, especially for that absurd $162k ask.
do i NEED a truck like this no do i WANT one yes .. if i won the lotto i would buy one
That's what I thought when he said "...if you want one." I've WANTED one for over 20 years...
Nice truck, but no exhaust stacks!
Needs bigger gas tanks
Oh my. Parts of me are getting excited. Especially when I saw that Cummins and those seats.
For this price one may as well buy a semi truck
But, how does it do off road?????
I see many one ton trucks way over loaded. Just because a one ton can pull something doesn’t mean it is smart to do so on a regular basis. Use the right tool for the job.👍
TFL >>> hey I love the way you use 'just' for the price when it's 165K+, it's very cute 🤣
