READERS'RIDES
By Bruce W. Smith
Swafford's Heavy
Hauler
When James Swafford
Landscaping's crew rolls up to
a jobsite, they do it in style
in a tricked-out 2011 F-450
Crew Cab 4x4. It sports a
Ranch Hand grille guard up
front and CM custom bed
with gooseneck and four
built-in UWS toolboxes at
the rear. It also carries a
100-gal. fuel tank with
powder-coated fuel cell,
an air compressor and a
raft of LED work lights.
It rides on factory tires
and aluminum wheels
with towing muscle via
the 6.7L Powerstroke.

It's hard to miss
Eric Dupee's office.
His black-on-black
2008 Ford F-350 FX4
Crew Cab sports
construction-grade
yellow reflective
lettering for REMU,
the Finish company
he reps. The 20"
Moto Metal wheels
with 35" Toyo Open
Country A/T tires
are a giveaway; it's
not just a pavement
pounder. "This
truck is my sales
office. I use it to
drive from Maine
all over the East
Coast and Midwest
going in and out of
different types of
construction sites,
such as gas and
oil pipelines, for
REMU."
