The concept looks amazing, but I’m worried about daily drivability. These extreme recon setups are cool, but will it actually work as a regular family SUV? That’s my main concern.
The fuel efficiency bump is actually significant if you’re using this as a daily driver. I calculated roughly 20% improvement based on EPA estimates. That adds up over time, especially with current gas prices.
Those old Power Strokes are simple enough that you can do a lot of work yourself if you have basic mechanical skills. No computer complications like newer diesel trucks. That’s huge for long-term ownership costs.
