If I wheeled and dented the **** out of my parents' 330 powered f250 they would probably kill me..

But I supposed if he drives a Hummer there's probably enough "stupid" money to go around.

Those 3/4 ton Fords are so freaking heavy, you have to put BIG meats on them before they're good for any kind of real off roading.

wow. I wish my parents loved me that much..
About the 3/4 ton thing:
3/4 ton is the designation for the class of truck. It's the same size as a Chevy 2500, a Dodge 2500, etc. f150's and 1500's are considered "1/2 tons" and f350's and 3500's are considered 1 tons. I have yet to find out why.

The Fords especially, are pretty heavy, so they're really not great at anything that you can't go ***** to the wall while you're doing it.
