This is not the first time either. Last year there was a Landscaping Company's Super Duty out there.

Saw that yesterday. My first thought was... "Bet they won't know how to take care of it and I wonder if they know to use the right kind of coolant. Maybe the oil cooler will go up quick." Won't last long in that environment either.

That is just crazy.

NOBODY would expect any trade-in or otherwise previous vehicle of theirs end up in terrorist hands, let alone with their company number and logo on it. This is negligence and horrible luck rolled up into one nasty situation.

I am usually one to believe most of these types of lawsuits you hear about on the news are unjust. I happen to agree with the guy suing autonation. They didn't take off his company decals and now he has the wrong type of media and public attention. The calls and threats he is receiving as a direct result of this would scare the living hell out of me if i were in his shoes.

Like others have said, i hope those extremists don't know what they are doing with the 6.0 and it lives up to its reputation to them in the most catastrophic of ways....in the middle of nowhere.

If it wasn't 'bullet proofed' it'll never last under those conditions.

It may get lead poisoning before they have to worry about maintenance.

Suffice it to say that is one 6.0 I hope grenades to smitherines while they are being chased down by an Apache or something similar, if it hasn't already. I saw that clip several months ago and I can't see how they would be smart enough to trouble shoot anything on that set up.

I thought the exact same thing, they have no idea what truck they have there.
