For some people, a truck is a work vehicle.

For others, it's how they get away from work.

This 2023 Ford F-350 was built with one goal in mind: getting the whole family, all their gear, and everything needed for a weekend in the mountains safely and comfortably to the ski hill.

Long highway drives, unpredictable winter conditions, mountain passes, and a truck loaded with gear all demand a vehicle that can handle more than what the factory setup offers. That's where this build started.

Suspension

The foundation of the build is a complete Carli Suspension Pintop System.

Anyone familiar with Carli knows their reputation. Their systems are designed to transform how a heavy-duty truck rides both on and off pavement, and this F-350 is no exception.

The truck received Carli's Pintop System featuring custom-tuned King 2.5 remote reservoir shocks, progressive rear leaf springs, upgraded steering stabilizers, and supporting components throughout.

The result is a truck that feels planted on the highway, absorbs rough roads with ease, and remains comfortable even when loaded up for a weekend away.

Wheels & Tires

For wheels and tires, the truck runs two dedicated setups depending on the season.

For spring, summer, and fall adventures, it sits on Method Race Wheels wrapped in 37-inch Nitto Ridge Grapplers, giving the truck an aggressive stance and excellent capability on gravel roads, logging roads, and backcountry adventures.

When winter rolls around, a second set of Method Race Wheels paired with 35-inch Nokian Hakkapeliitta tires takes over. Anyone who spends time driving mountain highways in the winter knows how good Hakkapeliittas are, and they make the perfect choice for a truck that regularly heads to the ski hill through snow, ice, and whatever else a Canadian winter decides to throw at it.

Having dedicated summer and winter wheel and tire packages means this F-350 is ready for adventure no matter what season it is.

Lighting

Winter driving often means early mornings, late nights, and poor weather conditions.

To improve visibility, we installed a Baja Designs lighting package integrated into the factory bumper and wired directly to the factory upfitter switches.
