This F-450 Commands the Road

This F-450 Commands the Road
By Geoff Castaneda

Texas boys love their trucks. And much like everything else, the trucks are bigger in Texas.

I bet my first house was half the price of this truck.
It's pretty.

I would say, "It's pretty useless", but it's just not my thing I guess.

I can find several things I like about it. I don't own any piece machinery that can't get dirty and work hard.

My friend's Grandfather used to say, "Son, we all can't like the same thing or we'd all be sleeping with your Grandmother".

To each his own.

That's actually not bad for what it is. Not for me, but I can appreciate it. My trucks go to hardware stores and the dump.

I like that the windows are not over-tinted.

But it's a Texas truck? I don't think those smoked clearance lights are legal there. Don't think it is a primary infraction though.

Nice truck for pulling parade floats, but not much else. It is pretty though but so is my wife and she doesn't work hard either.

It is BIG. So much so it takes 2 lanes for itself. To be fair it looks like there is another lane for the rest of us.

You use the ladders they tote around on the hitch receiver to build yourself a scaffold ... eezy peezy.
