Must be one of those "welfare farmers" that gets all his money from government payouts. like those that make a profit from selling $3 corn when it cost at least twice that to grow it. Does that Ford come with the FAKE engine noise like the musjunk? ------------- If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere. If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY |

Not af-Ford-able ------------- Don't confuse my personality with my attitude. My personality is who I am. My attitude depends on who you are. |

| Well you take that truck camping and can power your camp site! Until the battery drains and then you plug it in your A#s! Power your house they say! I've seen the electricity off for a week! I don't believe that truck will power the house for a week! |

Shameless, you can buy one when you take the stockholders to the cleaners! A big propane generator for your house would be less expensive and more reliable. ------------- Just an old country boy saved by the grace of God. |

Hey... there's an idea... put a 20KW generator in the bed, and a pair of 60-gallon propane tanks on the frame, then connect the generator to recharge the batteries... Put a 5th wheel hitch on it, and a stock trailer, and pull a dozen heifers 80 miles to the stock auction in August, then tell me it's a 'farm truck'. It's for 'urban cowboys'... just like all the crap features they've 'mandated'... overpriced junk. ------------- Ten Amendments, Ten Commandments, and one Golden Rule solve most every problem. Citrus hand-cleaner with Pumice does the rest. |

| Hey there! I checked out the video you posted, and I agree that the truck doesn't look exactly like a typical farm truck. That being said, I think it's always fun to see people customizing and personalizing their vehicles, regardless of whether they're being used for work or leisure. Moreover, it's more affordable if you have such options as http://https://www.truckexporter.co.uk/" rel="nofollow - |

Personally, I think an electric truck would be well suited to farm use. Farm use is mostly short trips and it could be recharged from renewable sources; wind or solar power or a methane powered generator on a dairy farm. The $90,000 price tag is for the high-end, absolutely loaded Platinum edition. F-150 Lightning Pro "work trucks" start at around $60,000, which isn't a lot different than a half-ton with a diesel engine. Whether we like it or not, conventional internal combustion engines are on the way out. Electric and/or hydrogen powered vehicles are the future. Global warming is definitely real. In my lifetime (in our area) I have seen winters go from snow from early November to early April in the 1960's to now when the local snowmobilers get periods of a couple weeks at a time that there is enough snow to ride. We used to get sub-zero weather for weeks at a time. This past winter, I think we had about 5 days below zero and every one of them ended up above zero during the day.

WF Owner, the world has been warming well before industrialization by 30,000 years, or so. We're coming off the 5th ice age (some say 7th). Those glaciers in Alaska used to run down to Yellowstone Park and across USA to Long Island - formed by glaciers melting at the ocean. The danger is using one's life experience as a guide. We simply don't live long enough to judge such things. For exampke, the cold snaps in 1940-60's led scientists to predict we were entering a new ice age. |

That may be true, but we are talking significant change in 50 years, not 30,000 years. Also, in the last 100 years, we have used up a significant amount of the oil that took millions of years to form.

we have enough oil to last for HUNDREDS of years.... New Exploration finds NEW OIL all the time..... Of course the world is WARMING...that happens in cycles... has NOTHING to do with HUMANS.. ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

| It's called weather...and it changes... always has ,always will. They say it goes in cycles. 20,50,90 year? Info out there if you care to work at finding it. Global warming is an opinion not a fact. |

| What's going to happen to global warming when we cover all this farmland with solar panels that only generate power during sunlight hours. Winter in the northern states that's only 8 hours of sunlight for 16 hours of dark. |

From what I have been told the northern panels product better because in the south when it gets too hot they shut down and don't make any electric. I don't think they will ever shut down coal plant if they are operated right. The electric company that we are on clean the coal and the only thing the plant gives off is stream

 Vostok Ice core Data, we as in NOW are at the Far Left, Note the Beginning of the Industrial Revolution is where the chart essentially FLAT LINES, No appreciable Rise or fall, just slight blips all from roughly 8 THOUSAND years ago where was already in a Significant Rising Temperature rate. That is where Humans numbers became enough to create fire and SMOKE and other aerosol emissions that REFLECT Sunlight Back Into Space. WE as in US Humans have managed to STOP the Temp rise in 'K' or Kelvin as in the Three previous epochs at 130,000 240,000 and 325,000 years ago. SOURCE: http://euanmearns.com/the-vostok-ice-core-temperature-co2-and-ch4/" rel="nofollow - The Vostok Ice Core: Temperature, CO2 and CH4 | Energy Matters (euanmearns.com) Also a Side Note, EACH serious significant almost Instantaneous Rise was followed by a Sharp and LENGTHY Cool Down, we are at that Doorstep. As with Methane, CO2 FOLLOWS the Heatup, NOT causes it.  |

I think maybe a plug in hybrid is the way to go at this point. The best of both worlds if you have your own electricity source. Remember not that many years ago everyone was hot on making bio diesel out of waste french fry oil and such. This is just another way to self power your farm. There's no way on this green earth I would pay 90 grand for a pickup truck, but to each their own... |

| To me a working farm truck was considered a Ford F 600 or 700. Why they consider something like that a truck is beyond me. But as you can see, I'm old school. |

Friend of mine bought a F550 Crew Cab, KNEW it was going to be better than buying a True Class 7. REGRETS that mistake every month. Will NOT tow, Adequately, the loads that are shown in the Owners manual, Has Juice Brakes, rotors when used as a REAL truck disintegrate at around 20,000miles, pads are Short Term life. Engine is a 6.4, Struggles but pulls and he is well aware pulling its own guts out, ZF Auto Trans has had several recalls and repairs. His partner in their farm in Orchard Farm MO, bought a M102 Business Class Freightliner, roughly same dimensions, Same size Tires but AIR Brakes, Allison Auto not a ZF, bigger third member and yet still a Family Sized Crew Cab. Has 1/3 the expenses of repairs with a Cummins M Series even as both use DEF for a DOC System that one is not as problematic. He is currently selling his 550, and is working to find a adequate M102 Freight Shaker.
