I definetly had the worst timing ever buying this with the current fuel prices πŸ˜‚ but its time to introduce you to the newest member of the fleet! This is my new to me 2010 Ford F350. I bought it to give the 4Runner a break from all the heavy towing I do, and with a "factory" tow rating of 15,000lbs it should do it well!

This truck is special though, and thats because its got a great story behind it. it was built by my brother a few years ago. He stripped it to the frame and rebuilt it with a 24v cummins turbo diesel out of a dodge ram 2500 from the family. Between the 2 trucks this motor has served 22 years and over 600,000km as a service truck, and has no sign of quitting anytime soon.

Ive got lots of ideas for this truck & how I want to build it up. The 4Runner is set up for my shorter & difficult offroad overland trips, so im thinking of building this up as more of an expedition truck with a camper for longer roadtrips since its more spaceous and has a heavier haul rating. Plus I can bring tow the 4Runner on a trailer with it if I ever needed them both somewhere.

So whats your thoughts? What should I do first to it?
