Re: What Kind Of Mileage?


Why jack a truck up only to lower the trailer hitch?

I have seen this truck If I remember correctly it like an F700 all jacked up. I think the guy does boat transport or something like that.

Re: What Kind Of Mileage?


I really dont think it is jacked up too much. 750's are quite large trucks to begin with.

I bet it gets between 12 and 15, maybe more. Probably has a CAT or Detroit in it.

I worked down the street from his house in OC for about 4 months, never got tired of looking at it.

Re: What Kind Of Mileage?


There was the same truck but black like the one pictured in a 4x4 mag a couple years ago.

Rich guy from Cali paid $60K for a 7.2 Cat powered F750. He then had a few feet chopped off the frame to fit a dually bed, added 4x4 and put giant single wheels on it, a lot like the one pictured.

When it was all said and done including a a high end sound system with plenty of tv's he had around $120K into it.

I do some work out on the richest indian owned casino on the world and they have toys like this. It's common for one single guy to own as many as 5 $100K+ vehicles.
