Is this cool or no?

I was in my superduty and spotted this superduty. I saw this King Ranch Dually Jacked up to hell who knows how high with some big *** tires with crazy offsets. I didn't even notice the other superduty on the left until after I took the picture and saw it on the PC.

Which one would do you like the one on the left or the one on the right? I tried to get a profile pic of the dually to show the rims but we were on the highway and couldn't get a good pic. Turns out a hispanic woman was driving. Not what I was expecting to find behind the wheel!

Matter of opinion but in mine the owner of the dually ruined a perfectly good truck.

Not functional really for towing but yeah its cool and I would take the dually over what looks like a ford ranger next to it!

I'd choose option 3, my own stock dually.

Jacked trucks are a dime a dozen around here and most of them drive like jack @sses. Twenty years younger and single, sure. I'd be all over it. Looks cool, sure. Would I want to drive it? Sure. Would I want to own it now. Nope. Give me some of that money and I'll make my stocker stick out from the crowd.

I like being able to drive through the carwash also. I also like the decent mileage I get with my normal ride height ride, know what I mean?? Function over form...

I'm always amazed at who can afford a truck like that (prob. over 80k sticker) and then to spend 10k in upgrades to NOT use it like a truck.

That truck has to be wider than the legal 102 inch regulations and needs a permit to he driven legally.

Wonder if they'll ever get stopped?

That was my thought exactly when I first saw that truck. Who does that and why? we can buy a small house around here for what it cost to make that truck look "cool" and they can't even park in the garage at that height.

What's a garage? I live on my ranch, no garage.

To each, their own. I could look at everyone's stock truck, the kind of owner who MUST buy the same tires that ford sold the truck with because "ford spec'd em for a reason, ya hear me??" and call them fools. But I don't because it's your truck. Do whatever you want. Keep it boring or make it personalized. It not really necessary to knock anyone's personal choices, is it?

Some people, believe it or not, buy trucks to drive them. Not just for towing. Shocking, I know!

In my opinion it looks badass and if it was given to me I'd drive the hell out of it.

At least he's gained some class - this was his trade-in.
That reminds me, last week I observed a Super Duty with Stacks (Montgomery, AL.).

Im not knocking what other people want to do to their truck. I'm just surprised someone would take a new 80k+ dually and modify it like that just to look cool. Not a wise use of $100,000 IMO. It must be nice to have that much extra cash laying around to do such things.

Right on, dirthawg. That's gotta get old after awhile of having to pull your @ss into the truck day in and day out. There's a few jacked up Ford duallys around me. Looks great but those two extra tires $$ and rotating them has to a PITA. Cuts fuel mileage but who cares because you're cool, right? I wish I had money like that.
