'08 Ford Super Duty 6.4L Diesel

[RedMax Man]

Hey gang thought you might like to see some pics of my Dad's new truck.
Just for the record he's a general contractor not a landscaper. He owns his own business too and that's his trailer.

2008 Ford F-250 4x4 Lariat Super Crew 6.4L Power Stroke Diesel. "Loaded to the gills"

Fisher Extreme V plow is going on it soon.

[RedMax Man]

The black one is my F-350

[soccerlawn]

Thats a bad ass truck.

[Husky05]

Both of those trucks are super nice! Congrats!

[westcoh]

Great looking truck, I like the interior especially on the new Fords.

[sinoplawncare]

Gorgeous trucks.

[blm86]

great looking truck, them super duty trucks are really growing on me

[cpel2004]

Nice trucks I think I like the trailer even more. Do you remember how much your dad paid for the lettering of his trailer, thing is super nice.

[Guzman Properties]

Very very nice, both of them!!!

[DoetschOutdoor]

Definately the sexiest looking truck on the road today IMO.

[ExclusiveLawnCare]

Killer truck man. Looks really nice in that color. Different.

[RedMax Man]

Thanks for the comments everyone!

I think it was between 1k - 2k. I'd have to ask him and could let you know. He designed the logos and layout. He didn't do the actual lettering though.

I think i might agree. These days looks seem to matter most to many people.

[RedMax Man]

Few more pics...

From the shot of the interior, it looks like it has a factory GPS unit. Have you or your dad tried it out? How well does it work?

[Lawnworks]

What did he pay?

[TXNSLighting]

i love those superduty crew cabs!! they are so roomy! actually more room than my crew cab. gorgeous truck! id like to get one of those one days. love the 20's to!

Is the grill connected to the hood? What happens if you get into an accident? Do you have to replace the whole hood?

[N.H.BOY]

I quess I'm old school, but I really like the looks of the front ends of the older f-250 & 350's like the 2000-2005 years. Mind is 2001, but I am looking for a "new" used 350. thanks for all the pic's, it's fun to look at them.

[bobcat_ron]

Nice to see Ford finally put the Intercooler way out in front.

[deere615]

Sweet Truck, I have seen those engines before and They sure are cramed in their! I guess your dad plows too?

yeh its hard to beat that 99-04 and 05-07 body styles. but this new truck is still like it, just a diff front end! and interior...and tail lights, and back window..ha! i remember when the 99's came out, i saw a crew cab short bed, and went gross!! they ruined the truck!! then i kpet seein em and seein em, and bam! loved em! ended up with a 99 crew cab long bed in 02! that was hands down my favorite truck ive ever owned! and of course i still see it around here...i put a leveling kit and 35's on it. it looked perfect! then he has to go and put a 6 inch lift on it, and leaves the 35's on it!!! it looks so ******ed! and he put a white tint band, and white windshield wipers!! so mad at him. im goin to get that truck back one day and fix it! sorry for the rant...:waving:

Yep we've used it and it very nice. Works just as good as most GPS systems.
What did he pay?
44k i'm pretty sure after trade in and discounts.
Is the grill connected to the hood? What happens if you get into an accident? Do you have to replace the whole hood?
Yes and you can replace just the grill. its not one peice.

My Super Duty is a '99.

That thing is jam packed and he hasn't plowed in the past but will be with this truck.

Now i feel like i need a new one too:drinkup:

[TXNSLighting]

[ponyboy]

[DBL]

id say he made a BIG upgrade!!

he sure did...did he pull that trailer with the ram

[TXNSLighting]

ha! i bet that looked funny...thats a pretty big trailer!

[RedMax Man]

My truck is getting pretty old. What makes you think that? just curious.

[RedMax Man]

You bet! The Ram took it ok but it really wasn't matched well at all. The Dodge was actually mine for a few months until i got my Ford and i sold it to my father.
ha! i bet that looked funny...thats a pretty big trailer!

Yes it looked funny. That trailer is a tank and is very heavy. My truck can pull it too!

1st pic shows the Dodge with the trailer empty when the enclosed trailer was purchase from the dealer in the fall of '06.

2nd shows the Dodge hooked up to my little trailer which it pulled a few times

3rd is the old '87 Toyota that my Dad owned before i got my Dodge to pull his new trailer. That was sold in June last year.

Last 2 show my truck pulling the construction trailer yesterday because Dad's truck was in the shop getting a remote starter, alarm and backup video camera installed.

[RedMax Man]

In this picture the trailer did have weight in it because we were helping my uncle move some things. I have more of the Dodge pulled the trailer after it was lettered and loaded with tools but i'd have to find them.


___________________________________________________________________________________________________

I paid $7500 for the Dodge which i bought in the fall of '06 so we had for a little more than a year. It had a little under 50k on it and when it was traded for the '08 Super Duty it had 55K+ and the dealer took it for $6500.

[DoetschOutdoor]

So I'd say your Dad's business is doin well...?? Thats quite an upgrade, especially since you said he was driving the yota before correct? Just an awesome truck!

[DBL]

when did you take the lightbar easy dumper and lettering on your bed off

[RedMax Man]

Yes he's done quite well i'd say and his hard work paid off. Most of the business this past year was from a huge residential renovation and addition. There are some pics of it on a thread somewhere here about landscape construction.

He's been in this line of work since the '80's with his brother and working for others. This past year he decided to make the plunge and continue on solo so he bought the trailer, set it up, loaded to the top with tools, sold the Toyota, bought the Dodge and now got a Ford. He says he never dreamed he would have this truck at the end of the year but he needed a write off.
when did you take the lightbar easy dumper and lettering on your bed off

This week i took the light bar off because it broke and stopped working during the 1st storm. I took the dump insert out because it was getting too rusty and i didn't need it during the winter. The lettering looked tacky so i removed it. the step tube was roughted out so i finished take it off also. I'm getting all new Whelen LED's and 6 head hide-a-ways tomorrow as well as new headlights, tail lights and grille for my truck installed.

Man your truck looks different lol. Were you helping you dad do some construction, or just pulling his trailer?

I hope it looks better. I think it does anyway. Yeah i helped him three days this week since it wasn't snowing and he needed an extra hand, ha ha ha.

It all depends, I like my truck to look like a professional work truck, Thats why I would love to have a work truck and a personal truck... someday

[RedMax Man]

Got a V Blade!

[TXNSLighting]

my goodness!! very nice!

[RedMax Man]

If only that blade would fit on my truck:drinkup:

Fisher changed all the wiring, plugs and other things so i don't think it would work on a truck thats outfitted for a straight blade.
