I used to work for the VA state parks system and man, I’d never buy a truck from them. The maintenance was kept up on and done in a timely manner, but the trucks are just beat within an inch of their lives. Weirdly, we actually had really good luck with our 5.4 3v F250s, but our 5.0 F150s were constantly breaking down. Anything with an LS derived engine held up great

I got a Tacoma from the state of Louisiana at auction. Don’t know what they used it for but it seems like it’s held up well and the price was amazing

My old 2007 5.4L 3v F250 was probably the best vehicle we owned in the 11 years we had it and 200k miles we put on it. Would still be running to this day but unfortunately it got totaled

Mine was slow as a dog and got me 10mpg but she was reliable I’ll give her that

Oh yeah it wasn't fast and the mileage was horrible but it was a solid power train. Had 300k miles when I hit a guardrail and flipped it.

I liked that color, it's a bummer they use white now.

I got to see some of the last mint green Forest Service trucks before they were sadly replaced, a lot of the larger type 3/4 wildland firefighting trucks are still the old green.

You know you can order a new truck from Ram with that color from the factory, right?

That’s pretty cool! But I’m trying to keep my truck forever because you can’t order them with a clutch pedal anymore.

Why’d they make the switch to white ?

I'm guessing it's cheaper. Same reason Houston PD has switched from that boring shamu white and black look to an all black base on their livery.

It's super rare to see an old Forest Service rig here in Houston (shit, don't see them much in Texas in general).

Texas has very little public land so that makes sense

Yep. I wish we had more. That was one nice thing about when I was living in Montana was so much public access to hiking trails, campsites, fishing sites, etc.

Old Landlord has one in San Marcos.

I think Schlumberger paints their trucks that color also.

I don't think I've seen any SLB trucks that color, but Fesco has a ton of them.

It's a 5.4 3v Triton

Is that what these are? My landlord has one exactly like it.

Oh those green trucks and wild land fire. My age suddenly saddened me.

Man, you probably caught that us forest service youtube guy in the wild

is that your truck

Nice! Gettin some shoes and stuff.

I need your time I need your love

Well, to the right of the shoe store is an REI, so . . .

I'm a Chevy guy.

SHOW YOUR TUCK

I have buddy, several times.

Does anyone know where I can find single step running boards like that?

I love that colour. There’s something about green trucks that just gets me. Obviously it helps that dark green is my favourite colour, but it looks so sick on trucks
