Nice!!
Geez… I didnt think ford trucks could get any worse than they already are.. Then again, paint it yellow and stuff it full of Dewalt tools and there you go! lol
Now, if you took a GMC/Chevy and filled it with Festool or Makita, that my freinds would be a real truck!!!
Hahaha just playing around guys ;D
Very cool! though I’m not a ford guy but ille take that one!!
Ford? Dewalt? hope it has road side assistance…..lol

LOL!! Good one Comp! I knew I liked you!!!
Now you guys all know that you’d sport this rig.
Maybe let the wife drive it……
just a little tid bit……you may not know this but the next time you are in a parking lot in the summer months or in warm weather if you see a yellow vehicle it will be swarming with house flies………yellow is the worst color as insects are attracted to it……don’t know why but it is true….just saying…..

I’d prefer the truck to be black anyway. Black with yellow lettering would work.

You wouldn’t feel like a badass pulling to to a job in this? Lol.
Oooohhhhh that’s nice!!!!
Would be better if it was a dodge.
Screw the truck I really like the tool link feature. Tag you tools to keep track of them and if someone steals them you can track them down.
Now I don’t want to piss anyone off this early in the morning but my honest opinion of this is that it is unrealistic, sure it is nice and all but to me it would be like a cab driver buying a maybach exelero for $8 trips all day …….you can only make so much money and this looks like it out weighs the cost ……

Service Body trucks aren’t for everyone in every trade. If you’re making service calls all day, you’d go broke on fuel. But if you’re a big carpenter, framer, roofer, electrician or plumber for big new res or commercial, this would be great.
There is no doubt it has some cool factor to it.. maybe a little too over the top! I can’t see it being practical for efficient tool storage and use.. definitely setup for show in its current configuration, not work!
it just so happens that its a very blah combination of tool/truck for me.. now, like i said earlier.. had it been a different combination im sure i would be singing a different song 🙂
The tool link feature is really cool, is there anything like that available to retrofit into current tools of any brand?
Here’s some more info on the Tool Link.
I don’t know I kind of hate what they did with the quarter panels and front bumper, it could use more chrome to make it pop, maybe on the mirrors, bumpers, ladder rack and around the grill.
Looks like the 450/550 front fenders. Ford doesn’t put a lot of Chrome on their Lariat+ packages. Color matched bumpers are more luxurious and cost a little more. Chrome bumpers in today’s trucks is too “fleet like.”
