Pop-Up! :B

Variety is pretty vast.here. Amazing what you do see. Two versions of Truck Campers

They're pretty good tow rigs until they inhale or get hi centered on a ute!
Lol

Thanks everyone for all of your Positive comments.

Noticed this on an Australian forum. No idea..your input

I'm guessing for use on the Eyre Highway which traverses the Nullarbor Plain? IDing that particular railway hotel would be a dead giveaway. ;)

I would say so. You get all sorts of different tow vehicles when you get into the Australian countryside or Outback.

"Of course, you stick those silly pickup beds on them, and they become a lit less useful."

There are some snooty neighborhoods that don't allow any trucks other than pickups. These trucks do count as pickups.

Lots of choices here: http://www.f650pickups.com/

With my knees I would have to have it equipped with this option: http://tweetys.com/handy-lift.aspx?gclid=Cj0KCQjwgIPOBRDnARIsAHA1X3Q96_NkbmxHHpFwMYH-pEJP6KLkPaUMviOfcp8Y5_HvPzL5FqxegKEaAjMzEALw_wcB

The F650 and 750 makes great tow vehicles! Mine had a 21' Jerr-Dann roll-back deck, and I've towed numerous broken down Ford 6.0's along with their trailers. We even had a 5th-wheel attachment that mounted to the wheel-lift so we wouldn't need two tow trucks. Total lengths would push 75' (~30' overall truck length + wheel-lift + 40'+ fifth wheel) and be over 50,000 combined.

Of course, you stick those silly pickup beds on them, and they become a lit less useful.

Mine had the Eaton 6-speed and the Cummins 24-valve 5.9L with 95 HP injectors, so it actually moved pretty well. The transmission was rebuilt at 300,000, engine around 350,000 and the deck and hydraulics were rebuilt around 400,000. No reason the chassis won't last forever.

I'll have to get a pic posted of the boat that the truck in my pic tows!

It would be an interesting photo to see it towing a tear drop.
