Just now watched this episode and a month ago I also bought a 2011 F-250 King Ranch, long box and the 6.7 diesel with 44500 miles on it. So far I love it, just haven't figured out all the switches yet. In Oregon they don't salt the roads, so we don't have rust problems, unless you live at the beach. The one I have does have the sun roof, but I'm not sure it's ever been opened by previous owner.

I remember in one of Andrew Camarattas videos he said some people go out and spend nearly a 100k on on a nice new truck, and he takes that same money and gets a beater truck, a mini excavator, a skid steer, and a dump truck - fixes them all himself and puts them to work right away.

[@LawnPusher]

Matt Hess one of my favorite channels!! He has all the toys without all the cost

[@mkelebay]

@@LawnPusher I mean his time is pretty valuable. Whenever people talk about fixing up things "for free" it isn't true. He could bill out for probably 100 bucks an hour or much more here in Canada for a lot of the work he does. Spending dozens of hours getting something working along with the parts you need doesn't always make sense. That said, I love his channel, awesome to see someone so versatile in their skills.

[@cj14dalh]

Cameratta is a joke. He shows more videos of repairing things, then actual excavation. And when he does do something, its not done the correct way..or even safely. I mean, who installs a septic system without first getting the local town to do a perk test on the soil? Any person in the excavation trade has more or less given up trying to help him because he cant take criticism. His channel is for John Q. Homeowners that don't know anything about the trade, but see him complete jobs with dirt cheap equipment he found on Facebook marketplace. In reality, you cannot buy the bargain basement equipment and expect to make any sort of money on it in the long haul. This channel is the complete polar opposite. It is pure, uncut professionalism.

[@TrevorDennis100]

I have to admit to smiling when I saw it was a Ford. I spent my entire working life at Ford UK's Research & Engineering Centre (Later renamed Product Development). We heard that Ford US actually lost money on its car sales, but that Truck sales more than made up for it. I can't resist a wee story... We used to get up to 20% discount on new cars, which meant you could always have a new car and barely be out of pocket, so everyone made use of the discount. It meant that at the end of a shift you'd walk out to the car park and see an ocean of Ford vehicles in this years colour, and it was a nightmare trying to locate your own car.

I put on full length electric steps on a Dodge Ram what a difference it makes, no more ankle breakers from the bar steps, plus they hide up under the truck and really gives it a high profile look and they are adjustable for height. That is a nice looking truck you got by the way. Hide the KEY control and get one of those voice control security systems that will record what you want to say anytime if someone touches your vehicle, like stand back or your not driving my truck, you can record anything you want and use it for security on a vehicle, it is a really cool security system, check it out if you ever get the time !

@Dry Creek Cattle Co. Like John Cameron Swayze said in his Timex Ads, it just "keeps on ticking" due to a rock solid design and regular maintenance. If you like simple, reliable performance, there are few better on the market. A million miles on an original 7.3 Liter Super Duty engine is nothing particularly note worthy. There are few engines on the market today that have that kind of record. It takes at least two opinions to make a horse race which means the buyer puts his money on his choice and takes his chances. All you can hope for is "Good Luck & be safe out there..."
