  • This is why you do not spend 45k on a work truck

    Beacuse it usually winds up looking like this:



















    Then I get paid for making it look like this:






















    At least he only spent 23k on this work truck:






    I offered to remove the rotary holograms out of this one, but I knew I was declined when he said: "rotary hola what?"

    Crazy. My personal vehicle is identical except its the FX4 with the luxury package (same as Lariat but with carbon trim, not wood. As a work vehicle, I think it's crazy to have leather seats, etc.

          Its a 2008 Ford F-150 Lariat with a 5.4 ltr V8.Basically its a higher end model.

          The coolest thing of all is that it has a backup camera on the rearview mirror.

                  Hey, if you have the money and that is the truck that you want for your work truck, I say go for it. Plus like you said, you get paid to clean it. He's happy. It keeps you in business. Sounds like a win win situation to me.

                  Now me, I'm just the opposite. I have a work truck for my daily driver.

                    Do you ever wonder if, when some event gets his truck dirty (like someone stepping in with muddy work boots) he just smiles and says "Don't worry about it, Tuck will take care of it!"?

                    Oh, and nice product placement shot on the Gold Class Leather Cleaner & Conditioner Spray! Maybe next time you can get the whole bottle in the shot, and in focus. (yes, that's a joke )

                        Your pictures are also a validation that not everyone is as anal about their vehicles as most of us are. Additionally, the truck and maintenence (including your detail job) are all written off the owners income. Lots of work vehicles look like his. I'm always curious if their leisure vehicles are taken care of any better??

                        Regardless, nice work!

                          Yeah, he doesnt really care how dirty or muddy they get since he is so used to me scrubbing all that mud and dirt off, both on the interior and exterior.

                          As for the Gold Class Rich Leather Spray, everyone knows I only use Meguiars products.

                            Nice work on that interior!! Turned out great! Be happy he doesnt go drive it through tons of mud before he gives it to you just to mess with you
