The Ford F-650 and F-750 are America’s ubiquitous medium-duty commercial trucks. The platform is typically outfitted as dump trucks, delivery trucks, utility trucks, tow trucks, and moving trucks, as well as recreational and emergency vehicles. You see them everywhere and never give them a second glance—that is, unless you see one transformed into an awesome 6 door truck.
Where do 6 Door Trucks Come From?
Look no further than Chris Walker and George Stickler, the founders of Extreme Super Truck in Augusta, Ga. They are leaders in the business of transforming Ford trucks into massive machinery for an exclusive clientele. Their customers include professional athletes, business owners, sheiks, and average Joes (with coin to spare) looking for the biggest baddest pickup trucks they can find.
The duo stumbled into the jumbo custom pickup truck business in 2001, after modifying a brand new Super Duty F-650 for their previous utility business. Once word got out about their first jumbo experiments, the custom pickup business took off. Walker and Stickler currently build 50 to 60 jumbo custom trucks every year, including pickups, haulers, and Excursions. The company, as an authorized Ford upfitter, is legit.
Save Big with a Used Super Truck
Not everybody has the resources and time to order a custom Super Truck. Meanwhile, buying a previously owned six-door monster has lots of advantages—measured by the tens of thousands of dollars you might save compared to a new custom job.
For example, check out this gorgeous red 2011 six-door 4X4 F650 turbo-diesel pickup with only 42,500 miles listed on eBay. It sold for $250,000 when new and has a Buy It Now price of $135,000. The cabin features three rows of black leather seating, with captain’s chairs in the second row and a third-row bench, along with flip down monitors. A jumbo flat screen TV and speakers fill the cargo bed. It’s equipped with air suspensions, air brakes, and air seats. This is a veritable party on wheels. Who wouldn’t have a secret desire to cross the plains in this outrageous crimson monster?
If you’re in the market for a unique custom hauler, this majestic white 2005 F750 six-door Super Crewzer will let you take the show on the road, with seating for nine in total comfort. The ultra-plush beige leather interior includes a pair of power sofa beds. There’s a 7.2-liter C7 diesel under the hood, mated to a six-speed push button Allison transmission and just 105,000 miles on the clock. Whether you’re pulling ponies, pony cars, or a full-size camper, this beast gets you to the paddock on time with an air of exclusivity.
An Excursion to Remember
Hankering for a unique 2016 Excursion XUV (extreme utility vehicle) with a legendary diesel engine that towers over them all? This jumbo-sized golden giant lives for the open road. The International DT466 mechanical engine drinks from a whopping 95-gallon fuel tank. The tan leather interior features three rows of captain’s chairs along with a bench seat. In-cabin entertainment options abound. This one has a mere 132,000 miles on the odometer.
A monstrous six-door pickup truck or sport-utility vehicle might seem excessive to some folks. But it’s more than just a Tonka Toy brought to life. A six-door pickup can be an blessing for a comfort-craving crew living life on the road. Check out eBay’s latest extreme F-650 models.
