Here's Big Duke, my 06 F350. Crew cab, long bed, dually rear, King Ranch package. A couple of years ago, I went looking at 2up quads, only to find that they absolutely would not fit in the back of my Ranger. So I got a bigger truck, instead. Did they ever make me a good deal on this one - one year old, stickered for $54k, I got it for $29k, and they gave me $11k for a six year old Ranger FX4 with a dent in the cab. Joke was on whomever bought that Ranger, it got about 16mpg on the road (big V6), this monster gets about 18 on the road.
I left the engine alone, most times you hear of trouble with the 6.0 PS, someone put a tuner on it and didn't make the other changes needed. Hotrodded the sound system instead. It'll go 0-120db in no time.

Mine is a 2001 F350 Lariat Crew Cab Shortbed. It has the 7.3 diesel and an automatic transmission. It also has a leveling kit up front, with 35" BFG tires all the way around. It has a Dynomax 4" exhaust (turbo back), an EDGE programmer and a full set of pillar gauges. The only thing I don't like about it, is that I have to wear earplugs when i drive it, or else my ears ring for days! It's loud.

Nice. Prolly my next truck will be much like this one (w/o the dually). But since my 1999 F150 has less than 50K miles it might be a while before it needs to be replaced.....

My beater truck - 1991 Ranger w/ 120K miles. It has lockers front & back and Warn front hubs - because of that it will go where few full size trucks can.
The wheeler fits inside with the tailgate closed.
The forest in the back ground is mine - 160 acres w/ hundreds of acres of state forest behind it.

What irritates me is!
Those 6-packs work pretty good.

I'm convinced a mild tune doesn't have anything to do with it. Most people don't get rid of that Ford Gold carp they run in your radiator. Do some research on silicate drop out and it'll explain why so many oil coolers fail...which in turn causes your egr cooler to fail....which in turn causes your head bolts/gaskets to fail.
