"Like everything I own, I wasn't able to leave it entirely stock." Dave has never been more relatable

Dang big block dually? Makes me feel like it’s the 90’s again. Thanks guys for the memory lane.

I appreciate that you, Dave, are a genuine dude. You do not come across as arrogant or judgmental, just a man that likes and knows a lot of stuff. I also appreciate that your rigs aren’t top-of-the-line fanciness; what is needed and down to earth. Thank you!

I really like the truck. The 7.3 make sense without the expense of a diesel.

Love how it’s like a modern day version of the legendary 460! Big fan of this new 7.3 Godzilla and also a big fan of the ol’ big block 460

More fabrication videos on any of your projects would be cool. You are great at explaining things and throwing in tips and tricks

I like the old 460 reference to the 7.3 Godzilla as power wise which means Ford did it right for a change. Thank you Dave for your input on the 7.3 Godzilla that means a lot.

The fact that you talk about the high cost of keeping up with the Jones’ and buy only what you need is very refreshing. Even though you’re a fabrication genius, mere mortals can relate to your life and choice. Thanks for the breath of fresh air

Thanks for keeping it real, Dave, It's why we love you and what you do!

Huge fan of the videos showing small improvements to the tow rig setup. Half the time the trip and prep is just as enjoyable as the journey itself.

Motortrend just isn't as good without Dirt every day. I'm glad you're on youtube. Love all the projects you've done so far. Can't wait to see what's next.

Anything entry level, every now and again is great. Always good to see how someone else does "simple" projects. Safe travels.

I'm excited to see the trailer rebuild video (s). I love watching you fabricate and repair stuff the fabricstion is always like art

I have a 7.3 but mine burns diesel. I’m always impressed on how you keep all this going with kids and a family. I can barely afford to keep 1 jeep running. Keep it up for us little guys that are trying to balance everything

Great video, awesome rundown of your pickup, trailer video would be awesome. Always like having these videos by you Dave. You're just like every practical dude out there and it's nice having a kindred spirit that we can enjoy your videos together.

Thank you for keeping your brains and purchasing within your means!!!!!

Great video as always. Thanks for showing and telling about your tow truck it's awesome. 🦅🇺🇸💪😁👍

Great video! You are very relatable and your explanations are both funny and informative. Keep up the good work!

Great truck and trailer combo Dave. Basic but with all you need. 👍🏽😎

Dude, whatever you wanna put out is 👍🏻. Love your videos, and look forward to new ones.

Been a Dirt every Day fan for a while. Can't believe I hadn't found your channel till now. Glad I did.

Super relatable video Dave! Cool to see how another guy gets around and hauls his junk. Makes total sense how you explained it all and looking forward to a trailer refresh.

Enjoying your vids, nice pace and relatable

Thanks Dave. Love Dirthead Projects…… keep em coming!

Considering how your home improvement videos turned out I'm sure the trailer videos will be awesome!!! Keep doing what you are doing and I'll keep watching!! You're awesome dude!

Love my srw xl 350. 3900lbs payload out of a single wheel

Love it, a man can’t go wrong having a trailer and a reliable truck.

Definitely like to see trailer upgrade, drive over fenders and light protection. I have a few ideas on it but I'll wait and see what you come up with. You always come up with cool ideas we never thought of.

I really liked this episode. The tow rig is really nice for what you wanted. I agree w/ less tech, and I say that as a tech guy for a couple/few decades. Fun to watch your builds and progress through things. Love the, “You can do this at home.” approach. Cheers!

Definitely put the trailer upgrades on the channel. I love any fab work and you always build cool stuff.

Nothing better than when something fits the budget and does it’s job. 😊

Your truck looks good. It’s got a good selection of equipment and options and did not break the bank. The silver paint with the brightwork looks especially good on such a large vehicle.

I went from a 2011 Ram with the 6.7 Cummins to a 2021 F350 XL with the 7.3 Godzilla engine with the snow plow package. I've been very happy with it. Like you I just went for the base model, low options, because I just use it to plow snow, tow my car trailer and bring my trash to the dump.

Just found ya . Been watching you for year on dirt every day . Your the best fabricator ever!!!!

Definitely video any pull truck and trailer mods, that stuff is so helpful (and sometimes not obvious). Love the channel!

Awesome truck. Take care of it and you'll have it for a long time. Great video.

Also purchased my car trail in 2005. Best thing ever!! It’s been everywhere.

When Dave says Diesel is too much trouble, I listen! You got that thing right before prices skyrocketed, so much less expensive in the USA, in Canada, even a base F350 gas fleet is a fortune, ludicrous money. I'd like to see the trailer fixup!

You build it. I’ll watch it. I learn something new in all your videos.

Hell ya make that trailer fresh again. Love to watch you work.

Dave wish you nothing but the best going forward👍🏁🇺🇸☮️🌎

That's a pretty sweet tow rig set up. 👍

Awesome stuff Dave keep it up hope to see you out on a trail someday!

I have the Ram version of your truck and it has been perfect for my needs.

I upgraded tow rigs a little while ago also. Also a crew cab long bed dually f350. I love the rock slider steps. I really want to build a similar setup on my truck

Great video! Would love to see a future video for the trailer repairs and upgrades.

Very nice truck Sir, the way you go about buying a truck is the only way to buy a truck. Little tech as possible is great 👍

Hey Dave I was the one who recommended the secret snowplow package leveling kit 😂. 👋

Great video thanks for keeping it real. The rock sliders look awesome. I have been thinking about one of the 7.3 gassers for the very same reasons you talk about. It’s hard to find an affordable truck these days, again thanks for the review and I look forward to seeing how it continues to treat you.

Such a beautiful truck! Happy to have found your channel! Also you basically have my dream truck. No complicated diesel or anything just a truck. I love the idea of a dually but I’m an electrical contractor in a city so finding parking would be a challenge especially when working downtown.

Awesome setup! These base model modern trucks are more well equipped than anything I grew up with. I have an F-150 XL 5.0 Sport package which is similar, and I love it. Just enough creature comforts to make trips nice and without the worry that down the road it wont nickel and dime you with all the fancy breaks or wears out.

I have a Godzilla in a F350 Tremor SRW and wondered about the capabilities of a dually with the same. Great to see! Good for you to step out of the box without the troubles of the diesels.

Great video. Only Ford I would consider are these new 7.3 gassers.

Thanks for sharing your tow setup Dave. Would love to see the work you do on the trailer when it happens. I've got a 20 ft bumper pull that needs new axles under it, it will happen someday. Stay Rad!

I always wondered why you got a gasser F350. But it totally makes sense. I like your thinking! Rock on!

My next purchase is that truck and engine. Thanks for all the details. 🤘😎🤘

Great update video, brother. I have done all the things you have asked for at the end of the video. Very much enjoy being a part of your adventures, big guy. Have a safe trip and an incredible adventure. God bless you all.

love how he found a use for the 7.3, i had to get the diesel because its much more capable but would love to own 7.3 its just too cool

Ford hit the nail on the head with the 7.3 and so did you by getting one!

Great walk around on the trailer. Like everyone else at the time, ended up with a carson trailer. Mine is 16 years old with the original deck! I always thought this cheap trailer would be temporary for me, but has been far more reliable than any trailer I owned before. For a little angle iron trailer, it rock. Couple upgrade I did that were totally worthwhile: - added triangle corner gussets to the deck to keep the flex down. Straps stopped getting loose after that - added morride shackles. Way beefier and stoped the spring slop - added brakes to the back axle so I have 4 wheel brakes And best of all: I added a 14k weight distribution hitch. Even with a solid 3/4 ton truck, that hitch makes braking much more stable, especially since I tow my crawler on tight mountain roads.

Great video, very cool all business, no BS spec on the truck.

You got a good deal on a good truck, I've heard good things from the 7.3 the STX package is just fine and now they have some blackout bits and a few more creature comforts!!👍

Just stumbled upon this channel. Very happy, I literally subscribed during the intro trailer.

. We restored our 18’ foot trailer rated 10k lb commercial grade. Added a front safety crash bar, Warn 8s winch, better quality wood deck, light boxes. Our tow rig is a 2014 GMC Sierra 1/2 ton.

I hope you have fun in Moab, I was thinking I should go this year, but some of my buddies that normally go are staying home. Be prepared for wet weather, one storm after another.

Looking forward to the next video. Nice work.

One of the best fabricators on KZfaq!

I was with Jeff from IH Parts when he towed Hideous down to KOH and he got 11 with the diesel. So not a lot of gain there. Great tips here on putting together the right truck without spending $80k!

Great comments on the truck. I’m happy with the 7.3 as well and I think about the easiest truck to change the oil on Ive ever owned. As a warning to those that go F250. The rear springs are less than stellar. I’ll be putting bags on mine soon. Have a safe trip!

I would love to see a video on trailer updates and such. Especially some ideas on tail light protection. They seem to be just a consumable product on trailers. Looks like your snow melt is about the same as we have here, just an hour or so Northeast of you. Welcome to the neighborhood.

Great setup! I have the SRW version of your truck and it’s been great.

I also bought my trailer in 2005, had it custom built as wide as possible, 18ft deck and I added the beaver tail and tail light boxes at home.

I have a 21 Stx 7.3 f350 srw, installed the 58 gallons transferflow midship replacement and it's a killer tow rig

Trailer upgrades are fun to follow.,

I really like those new Ford 7.3s. They definitely took a lot of cues from an LS when they designed them. I’ve got a big 27+5 gooseneck and a car trailer like yours with a 12k winch on it and removable fenders. It’s a 98 model but it gets used a lot. I’m still running my 03 Dodge 3500 that I’ve had since 05 and it’s got a 6.7 long block in it and is a towing machine but I keep looking at newer gas trucks Chevy or Ford for a new tow rig.

I appreciate your trailer! Tow rigs come and go, car trailers are forever!

I bought the same trailer from carson a few years ago. Good trailer. Put stake sides on it and it gets used constantly.

What a great truck you ordered. Love that Ford allowed you to pick and choose like that. I'm not a big bells and whistle guy myself, I guess that's why my newest vehicle is a 2003 Jeep Rubicon..lol. beautiful truck though.

I repainted two trailers this year, sand blasting, and new decks, and new tires new hinges and latches, and boxes and winches🙄. Fml

Yes finally a new installment Cheers Dave

Thanks for sharing. Have a blast at Moab.

Love my 2022 f250 xlt crewcab 4wd 7.3 Godzilla went from a 2013 true cab chassis 6.7 with failed me at 100,000 miles cp4 pump After owning this 7.3 gas ill never forget back to diesel and yes fuel mileage 👍👍👍great videos ran across yours and Subscribed

Nice video Dave. Keep them coming.

I got my F350 in 2020 with the 7.3 gas SRW extended cab STX. It was a dealer order truck and I got it for sticker price just before the auto industry explosion. I tow a 35 foot gooseneck to haul my 10k lb skid steer. The truck has worked great and continues to impress. A lot of people give me crap because I didn’t get a diesel but I have heard a lot of horror stories about expensive repairs on new diesels. I deal with enough diesels in my equipment I didn’t want it in my truck. All I wanted was a nice simple truck, very little tech, gas engine and cloth seats.

I hope you get to do some trail rides with the utah youtube guys again. Matt, rory, paul, holly, robby, etc .. i loved your ride with fab rats last year. It was really cool to see my favorite off road fab guys having fun on the trail together!!!

yeah keep us updated on any fab project. id love to see any of it.

Always look forward to your posts

Thanks for your post, you seem like a good person so I subscribed and liked your post. Good luck with your KZfaq.

Thanks for the update on your truck

“If you’re a car guy everything becomes a project” this is the way.

Cool video on a nice tow rig setup.

Perfect video! everything on point!!

I have the same truck but not a dually. I tow a 12000lb trailer with it no problem. Love the godzilla

I did the same thing! 2022 7.3 gas. Came from an ‘07 6.0 ford diesel and I have no regrets.

The Mazda in the background 😍. Oh the and 350 Super Duty looks good too!

Dave you definitely have my favorite new channel on you tube .recently I saw a bleeping jeep post about building a on x offroad challenge vehicle to be their entry in UA 23 ,and my comment was you gotta get ahold of Dirthead Shed dave if anyone knows the best vehicle to build it him .that's when colt replied (and he must have thought I was a psychic lol) he said you guys talk all the time and landed on building a s10 and after seeing their last video showing the truck I think it's going to be a awesome build and hopefully we see you two do a video together.

When I reserved my base model bronco in 2020 and my 2021 order got bumped to a 2022 almost immediately I priced out getting another truck instead. I was was looking at a regular cab 4x4 F350, XL trim, 7.3 Godzilla, plow/camper packages for stiffer/taller springs. They weren't bad, MSRP was mid 40's at the time. I ended up sticking with my base model bronco that I was able to get out the door for like $32k. No regrets with the bronco, most fun vehicle I've ever owned. I still plan to find a 7.3 Godzilla f350 someday for my tow pig when I get to where I need one, most likely pre-owned though.

That's a really good rundown. I've been in the market for a truck that seats 75 also

Great video! I am right there with you. I also just purchased a gas XL F-250. I didn’t want all the modern electronics to go wrong. I agree with the diesel comments. Modern diesels are just much to expensive to gamble on. I enjoy you going depth on it none the less. More people outta think through truck purchases with this kind of logic

This video made me realize my first actual vehicle was my brand new car trailer. I bought one BEFORE I bought my first vehicle as I knew it was easier to borrow a truck than a trailer. Stil got it, original deck, never - and I mean never, touched the wiring or replaced a light. Love my 7k Load Trail, it's extra wide, drive over fenders and never let me down going on 15+ years now...
