WITH A 4.5-TONNE CARAVAN TO LUG AROUND DURING SEMIRETIREMENT, THERE WAS ONLY ONE VEHICLE OF CHOICE FOR DAVE ISAACS, THE OWNER OF THIS DECKED-OUT 2021 FORD F-350

TOW RIG

DAVE Isaacs, the owner of this mint 2021 Ford F350 tells us he is in the process of entering semi-retirement and has taken delivery of a larger 4.5-tonne caravan to enjoy in his newfound spare time. Having owned a large range of four-wheel drive utes beforehand, including a new Nissan Navara, Hilux N70, D40 Navara and a 200 Series LandCruiser he had converted to a ute, owning another four-wheel drive was always going to be on the cards for this next phase in his life … it just needed to be bigger and better this time around.

That is the main reason he purchased this 2021 Velocity Blue Ford F350 Lariat Tremor brand new, with not a single modification undertaken at the time of purchase. As he wanted not only a tow rig capable of tugging his caravan but also a capable tourer, it was never going to stay stock for long.

When we asked him about the build process, Dave said there were zero issues encountered along the way, which is refreshing but not surprising considering the top-notch companies he has enlisted to help with the build. For now, he’s comfortable in the knowledge he can travel anywhere he wants in comfort, and is planning on touring Australia with his Bushtracker caravan in tow. Let’s take a closer look at this beaut Ford F350 that is just as happy blasting through sand dunes, as it is eating up Outback corrugated roads.
