When it comes to building up a truck, everyone has different goals. Some people go for a basic daily driver, while others strive for creating a perfectly restored show vehicle.

When it comes to trucks, the F-150 is king. Well, to be fair, the entire F-series is king. There is no denying that fact, since one can usually drive down any street in any city and spot one of these glorious rigs easily.

When it comes to performance trucks, the Lightning is the dream rig. Sure — other Ford trucks can be built up and made into some pretty amazing machines, but that’s a lot of work and effort that isn’t necessary if one chooses to just start with the extraordinary Lightning as their base.

When you have a superb ride, there really is no reason not to show it off. While it can come off as arrogant or rude to some, showing off a nice, clean rig is justifiable if a truck is really something special.

When it comes to living in The Lone Star State, it seems to be next to impossible to not own a truck. This isn’t really due to weather, since few areas get snow and four-wheel-drive isn’t needed for the most part, but appears to be more of the culture of the region more than anything else.

When it comes to solid trucks, there really is nothing better than a Ford. Not only are they reliable, but they can handle a large workload, double well as a daily driver or an off-road play toy, and are relatively cheap and easy to work on.

When you’re a mechanic with a truck, there’s a lot that can happen. Having that technical and mechanical insight into exactly how all the systems within the vehicle work definitely help when wrenching on a rig, and make for much easier going than it would be for one who had little to no knowledge of any of it and were learning along the way.
