I would LOVE to have one of the new Ford F-650s with the Cat motor...I have to admit, that is one heck of a truck

I like the blue one (with boat) and the white with silver flames one.

I think the stacks outside the bed are gay looking. It's not a Lil' Red Express.

 

I like this one...man, these things are ENORMOUS! I drool when I look at them...this video does them better justice than the photos...

there's a black one in the local big truck trader w/ the cat and 6spd allison $81,500

 

yeah, they're awful expensive, but it would make one HECK of a toy, wouldn't it? my wife would KILL/HATE me hahah

 

I think id get one like this and have a nice 8.3 cummins swapped in.

 

Nice truck iddinit?...you don't think that the Cat would do these trucks justice?

 

Heck if I was rich n had a choice I would pay off my truck my horse trailer and my atv and my two credit cards and do a little dance. then I would probally wake up monday monring an go back to work

 

All that money and they still use those cheap steel cabs and fuel tanks. They cool but personally I'd start with a better truck. These along with the Pete version can be ordered with 4wd.

 

even though i love the cummins, i just dont see it being any better than the cat engine.

 

Yeah, but they don't have much clearance, a bed, are more expensive (and that was the price for a 2wd model from what I could tell) and quite frankly, are butt ugly IMO...I like the Ford/Cat/Allison combo better.

The clearance issue is because it is a 2wd, however the 4wd version is about a $13k option (about 2 years ago when I checked) which would raise it the same as the ford, I don't like the bed either but the trucks are done by Bentz Conversions and can be made with any bed you wish. I never said it was cheaper just higher quailty. (get what you pay for) I like the looks of the Ford (the black one looks tough) but if I'm spending $80k it's not going to be a Ford.

 

I got ya...best thing that truck has going for it, is that the ONLY thing on that truck that IS Ford built is the body and interior (unless you get the Powerstroke option rather than the Cat/Allison)...both of which are good...even on the 6.nos!

Those things are a little overated I have been in one and watched one get worked on.

 

Was it equipped with the Cat/Ally or the Powerstoke option? Just wondering, because I have always heard of Cats being OUTSTANDING motors (they are in MOST heavy duty machinery) and we all know the Allision trannies are great products as well...
