Kansas Dealership Makes Ford F350 Super Duty Into A Special Pickup

The guys at Salina, Kansas' Long McArthur Ford certainly know how to something special out of a pickup. They have done it several times this year and are continuing their string.

Over the last few months, the special Ford F-Series pickup trucks created by Long McArthur Ford of Salina, Kansas, have been featured here on Torque News. The folks at Long McCarthur specialize in looking at current types of Ford F150 and Super Duty trucks offered by Ford, and then by adding a few parts here and a couple of pieces there, they turn them into unique pickups. Take another vehicle, the model they call the Sidewinder. It starts life as a Ford F150 with the STX Appearance Package and adds to it.

Dealership Brings Back Two-Tone Pickups

For example, not too long ago, they brought back two-tone Ford F-Series pickups like the trucks of the 1990s. They began with a rear base color and then added the second color, making them unique. And, again, the dealership then added flair to the Ranger. The changes made the Ranger more like the Ranger Raptor that offered in Europe. The dealership calls it the Ranger Baja.

Now, they have done it again with a pickup based on a 2019 Ford Super Duty F350 DRW. The dealership calls it their Ford F350 Mac Truck DRW. Let’s look more closely at the three-quarter-ton pickup. For starters, it is equipped with a second set of rear wheels, making it a dualie. Then, the crew at Long McArthur added a 2.5-inch suspension leveling kit, paired with Fox 2.0 shocks front and rear. And, there’s a duel Fox front stabilizer. The work truck rides on Mac Truck 22-inch Forged black wheels shod with Toyo MT 37-inch tires.

Package Is Worth It

These changes are not inexpensive. On top of a $58,920 basic vehicle price, the dealership adds its pieces for $19,995. The extra parts bring the selling price up to $78,915 before any discounts. Since the dealership discounting the pickup by $4,000, the cost out the door is $74,915. A five-year, 60,000-mile warranty covers the changes and parts.
