Is this bad or what??
 

I have been going round and round regarding a truck to tow the new boat. I decided the Excursion is too small. I was looking at everything at w4500, f650s and everything else. I went over my budget by about 150% but I couldn't resist. It was but for a celebrity that never took delivery. The inside is absolutely incredible. I get it tomorrow and will post more photos.

Those aren't spinners on the wheels I see...are they...? :D

Does it have hydraulics and chi-chi balls hanging from the interior too? ;) Looks great...good luck with it!

Re: Is this bad or what??
 

he he.. guy said boat and budget in the same thought.. LOL

Re: Is this bad or what??
 

They are!! The can be adjusted not to spin. When I bought the truck I didn't know they were spinners. They do look beautiful (not spinning). They wil be adjusted not to spin.

Re: Is this bad or what??
 

Maybe Budget was the wrong word. How about 150% more then I was planning on parting with!

Nothing like being able to pull your house of it's foundation in style.

Re: Is this bad or what??
 

Believe me, After buying the new boat and this truck, I may have to use the truck to pul my new house.

Re: Is this bad or what??
 

looks like you been polishing that house :rolleyes: :D Gino congrats on the little truck. You going to repaint it?

Rob :D

Re: Is this bad or what??
 

Oh my... that is funny...


I am going to have a sign made and hang that over the door at CPR..... :drink:

Re: Is this bad or what??
 

Thanks Rob. The color is metallic silver. There is a lot of siver on the boat. I will let Chris from Grafik EFX look at it and see what he comes up with. It need something to tie it in to the boat.

Re: Is this bad or what??
 

Awesome truck....looks like a great home as well. Now about the Christmas decorations still being up in April...now that's another story!!!

Congrats!!!

Re: Is this bad or what??
 

510hp Cat.....That outa do it ! :D

Re: Is this bad or what??
 

Awesome Gino. Why don't you come play with us sometime since you're right here in Lauderdale?

Re: Is this bad or what??
 

Congrats Gino! That truck is just like everything else you own - absolutely incredible.

Re: Is this bad or what??
 

I have been thinking of getting one myself

Re: Is this bad or what??
 

Gino--you have/buy so many toys! You sound like Big Scotty, but you are the real deal

Re: Is this bad or what??
 

Yes bad. I think you can flash the C15 to 550hp-600hp for cheap $$. 1 hr labor at Cat shop.

Re: Is this bad or what??
 

I wonder if CAT can re-rate that engine? Seems like 600 is possible if I rember correctly. Need the serial # & arrangemet # off the engine to be sure.

Re: Is this bad or what??
 

is that an M-2 ?

Re: Is this bad or what??
 

Gino.....seek help. :eek: :D :drink:

Re: Is this bad or what??
 

I hope you have a weight distributing hitch for it. :D :D

Re: Is this bad or what??
 

Thats a nice rig you got there. Definately the way to go. I think Im gonna look for a new one myself. When I can afford it. Been using one of the work trucks. But after nicking the front of the boat today on the dump bed, I think Im going to have to get a bigger personal truck..

Re: Is this bad or what??
 

When I sold new Pete's, we ordered 475 C15 and then flashed them to 550 at n/c to customer.

The one thing to check is your driveline and trans to make sure they are rated for 550-600hp. You may be out of luck.

I don't think you will be pulling 80,000 lbs though :eek:

Re: Is this bad or what??
 

Nice truck Gino! I drive by it everytime I go home. I think they are trying to get the dealership for the Freightliners :cool:

Re: Is this bad or what??
 

Thank you. They had ot there on consignment. I saw it there but bought it from the frieghtliner dealer that owned it. I'm sure it would have cost me $15k more if I bought it from the collection.

Re: Is this bad or what??
 

yes...she is a nice rig....you will be glad your did it.

Re: Is this bad or what??
 

That thing is Awsome!

Re: Is this bad or what??
 

George, Jonesburger is a sport Freightliner truck dealer in NJ. Ask Jim for his #.

Re: Is this bad or what??
 

They have a white one there also. It is very nice, it dosen't have the wheels, grill or other gaudy stuff on it. Much more conservitive. They are asking $98k for that one. If you want I can get you in touch with him. Very nice people to work with.

Re: Is this bad or what??
 

Gino, thanks for the info on the wheels! That's pretty steep!

Re: Is this bad or what??
 

It doesnt even match the boat???? C'mon Dude!!! :D

Nice piece for sure :cool:
