- Stan the ‘Dirt Monkey” stopped by the shop so we could build his Jeep, but next on his list is the “Ultimate” Work Truck. Naturally, we had to argue mall crawlers vs work trucks.
Would your dream build be a “Work Truck” or a “Pavement Princess”? Either way we got you covered - www.customoffse...

This dude speaks absolutely zero B.S.
Wished I saw more videos like this.
He talked a little too much tho
long video short, if you want a work truck leave it stock. BAM summed that one up, saved you all 12 minutes.
Eddie Morgan thanks for saving me the time!
"You are going to actually be using it for what the truck is for"
Take note pavement princesses
Jealous because cant afford Mods.
@@hunterbaty653 not even close bud. I prefer to use my truck like an actual truck. Most mods would be detrimental to how I use my truck.
@@austinosgood3823 just trolling but honestly too each their own.
I run a “Boss man” truck. Level kit and a rugged tire wheel set
Damn my daily doesn't even have power windows
Same
I'll agree on the diesel aspect, most of my contractors used gassers for their field trucks. But the owners and heavy hauler pickups are diesel. I personally own a diesel and it literally never gets worked hard. Why did I buy it? Because I could.
We've got mostly diesel's and a few gas trucks for a huge contracting fleet. The diesels run longer without issues and haul better when you need them to. Nothing worse than doing 15 in a 40 loaded up with gravel and towing a mini up a hill. Granted, we send salesmen in smart cars to go bid on jobs.
@Dillon DeClue Chevy is coming out with a 6.6l Gas 400hp 450lbs Torque and Ford has a 7.3l Gas coming out as well.
At my work the diesel is kinda needed. Just on what the job is. We have 3 chip trucks that tow 8000lb chippers everyday. One of them is a gas and goes to the gas station twice a week where the others maybe 1.5 weeks per visit. Then we some of our equipment get to the max tow rating of our f350s conventional towing. But if it was not for the use that then a gas would make more sense.
Not everyone has 10k - 15k laying around bud
Oh look you dropped your tiara 😂
There’s more than just two options guys! Lol there’s the off-roaders as well cmon🤙🏽
90% of diesel owners dont need a diesel. Ive got quite a few friends with diesels, only 1 guy actually tows often. But hey to each their own.
SaltyBro 90% of muscle car owners don’t need a muscle car but it’s something they enjoy. Same for diesel owners
Luckily in this country you don’t have to show a need for something to own it.
But I do like your attitude... JDZ
Just because you aren’t towing doesn’t mean a diesel doesn’t have great qualities #triggered yeah you might have to do a delete, bulletproof it, replace a head gasket or a converter but those engines will last three times as long as a gas if the operator takes care of it right and then when you spend 40 or 50 grand on a truck you can make it last 10-15 years even more...
@@soldieron1614 except people who like to do stuff like roll coal, try doing burnouts, floor it every chance they get, and pretty much treat their truck like a cheap sports car you'll be lucky if the truck makes it for 2 years
STANLEY HOLY SHITT BRUH I LOVE HIS CHANNELLL
Cool interview and cool guy! Crew cab for bring my family and friends. Truck to drive every day.
Luis Jonas search stanley dirt money and subscribe to him believe me its worth it hes a hell of a good guy
If custom offsets likes this comment I’ll buy forces and throw them on my work truck.
Devin Reimers if they like this comment they should give me a truck with forces
Devin, Bet you wont! Here's a link to all the Forces: bit.ly/2VNr1Jg
ALSO don't forget to add your truck to our gallery when you get them installed 😉 www.customoffsets.com/add
Custom Offsets Fuck.
You realize they actually respond to their audience so you shot yourself in the foot there bro 🤣
Roy Reyes I know, was gonna buy some anyways
we use f350 powerstrokes to tow our skidsters and tar pots, gas eco boosts for the fleet vehicles. diesels are fun but on that profit margin aspect yes over rated, sorry instagram kiddos. side note FUCKKK cold starting diesels in february in 10 degree weather
So for a work truck you want a basic truck with no aftermarket modifications. Wow I'm glad I watched a 12 minute video to learn that... Are you guys running out of ideas for videos? The only interesting thing that was said in this video was that diesels don't actually make up the extra cost associated with getting one but anyone with a calculator could've figured that out.
Vartkez suprisingly people didnt know this information
This is not the crossover I expected. But it is what I needed.
yea stan both of my favorite channels working together
Sergio Gutierrez me too glad they did this
My truck is a base model 2010 Chevy Silverado 150p reg cab short box and all I have done to it is throw an exhaust and colour machted a couple things. Mind you this is my work truck/daily so I want to have a little class while still having my work truck to not treat it like a sports car
Pretty cool to see Stan on here, his points on modern diesels for work trucks are spot on and line up with what I've seen in fleet use. Unless you need the extra power and capacity, the savings will never be seen in most fleets. Throw in 1 or 2 major out of warranty repairs in the mix and it's pretty easy to lose money on a modern diesel vs. a gas option even with the higher resale.
SO TRUE. JDZ......…...
Levelling kits are popular for some work trucks, lumber racks, tool box and bed cover or campers. Also led lights. It really depends on what type of job you have. One example are like ranchers trucks that they customize with a big metal bumper with grill guard, wench,led lights & a head rack.
guy across the street from me has a lawn service. He is the boss and has a 6” lifted ram 3500 longbox diesel with an aftermarket dump truck bed. The rest of his crew has stock 1500 single cabs ahaha
Lol y’all should see some of the work trucks in Bozeman, Montana. Full builds with 6+ inch lifts and 14 wides.
Zero bullshit, 100% fact. In Forestry in B.C. we want fuel efficient machines with minimum maintenance, so we can treat them as rentals and still get to the block with zero problem every morning. As for the rear seats, we just put our cruise vests, vertex and iPads in the back. The rest of the equipment goes in the back.
The only guys that rock lifted are heavy machinery operators. These f**ers don’t give a crap :)
PS: I respect all of you guys out there, may god keep you safe!!!
Do a series about UA-camrs shopping with custom offsets
What!? Stanley, on CO? Sweet!
Coming from the car scene, all racecars are showcars but not all showcars are racecars
I work on racecars as my job, they are not clean and have damage everywhere they are more in line with a work truck than a show car.
That's not relevant whatsoever. A lifted show truck is not practical at all having lower milage and a raised bed. And a work truck will never be a show truck.
I have a 2013 crew cab Silverado. Got it before i became a pipe fitter or even had that in mind. I have it leveled. 2.5” strut spacer in front and replaced the back block with a 1.5”. (Front sits about 5/8” higher than back) I have stock wheels (for now, looking at those fuel assault) and 285 GY duratrac. I drive 200 miles a day easy and do not regret it. Sure it’s not a 7.5” on 35’s. But i keep my personal work truck styled just enough to where i still get a head turn at her. Ultimately i want to keep this truck for work and get a second truck for my show truck. None of which would’ve been possible if it wasn’t for all your videos and videos on truck builds! Keep them coming!
For the layman with a few bucks to spare, I think 18-20x9s with 33-35s on a stock or leveled truck is a pretty good sweet spot. Gives you some respectable looks and really doesnt change your driveability or work performance at all. Anything more and you definitely start to go toward the show truck side less geared for work.
Work truck for life
I work in the oil fields of west Texas and most companies give us work trucks. These trucks are mainly diesel since we haul trailers with nothing but heavyweight equipment on them. From 20 ft iron to big bulldozers or pipe for the pipe line workers. In that aspect you want a diesel truck
Had a lifted ram 1500 for 3 years . 6 inch lift 37 inch tires . It wAs my work truck . Used everyday pulling a 6x12 vnose trailer. Sure I got looks and compliments with it but it was a pain for me and my helper jumping in and out of it . Had to lift kids up in the truck and reach to buckle them in there car seats everyday . Now they can get in on there own in our new stock 2018 Ford f 150. Ankle started hurting from jumping in and out . started to worry what happens if I get a flat tire . Can’t just throw a spare on it . I hand wash my vehicles but for guys that don’t they usually don’t fit in car washes , hard to go through drive throughs . And so on . So for a show truck sweet go for it but every day work truck I wouldn’t do it . I’m happy to be back in a stock truck .
Wish y’all talked about 4x4 and 2x4 but other than that I liked the video, keep it up
2wd will get you down a gravel road, construction site, or god forbid a driveway. If you are up in the woods then 4x4 and limited slip diff might help.
Till u end up in soft dirt under grass and get stuck.. the only thing 2wd is good for is the road.. anybody who buys a 2wd truck where there is snow or if u ever plan to even drive off pavement is an idiot
4x4 is definitely helpful to get moving on slick roads of icy or snow.
I’ve got a 97 powerstroke extended cab 5 speed flatbed on 35s. I kinda have the best of both worlds. I did a Dana 60 swap up front and I put the flatbed on it and am in the process of prepping it for repainting. I’m going for both a cool and nice looking truck but also gets work done as far as pulling livestock and flatbed trailers and putting tools on the flatbed and what not. It is possible to have a clean and cool looking work truck
It's making sense in my head now. You guys aren't trying to build useful trucks. They're just show trucks. I agree a fair amount with what that guy said. I'm a work truck guy. I'd rather not have carpet. 3 of my personal pickups have rubber floors in them. The only function of wheels is to hold big tires. I like aluminum simply for weight savings and reducing unsprung weight. Suspension can be lifted a little, but every inch you lift it means you have to lift heavy crap that much higher to get into or out of the bed. I like good quality, velocity valves shock absorbers. They make a world of difference. I get big tires to fill the wheelwells. As big as I can fit. 35x12.50s will fit a stock 6.7L diesel F250 4x4 with no trimming. If the rear wasn't a toolbox bed, I probably could have gone bigger. The rear wheelwells are tiny on toolbox beds. I also prefer regular cabs. No extended cab. No crew cab. I want the back window right behind me. I collect enough trash as it is. I don't want to fill the whole back of the cab up with crap. Along with that, I want at least an 8ft bed. 8ft if it's a pickup. 9 or longer if it is a flatbed or toolbox bed. I personally like gas engines on my personal vehicles but use a lot of diesels at work. The amount of towing that I do would baffle you guys. Mileage makes better sense in diesels but diesels are expensive to fix... and the new shit breaks down a lot. I've seen a handful of turbos go out in 6.7L ford diesels. The DEF tanks and sending units? Total junk. Absolute garbage. Injectors have been ok to us so far on the 6.7s. Only one egr cooler. The we've got a 2011 f450 with a plastic oil pan. And a plastic oil drain plug. A 2011 f350 has an aluminum pan and regular drain plug. I believe they discontinued plastic pans and drain plugs after that model.
Eric Ernst Dude. No one cares.
@@Sam-jb2gk you must care enough to hate on him. I got value from his comment
i use 17 f250 6.7 xl long single cab for work it has a overload springs rear stabilizer bar and fox shocks with a 2.5 inch level kit B&W gooseneck hitch and its the perfect work truck 😎 plus the fuel maverick 20x10 -25 35 toyos rts 😍😍
Love seeing Stan on here that’s awesome!
now way show trucks and work trucks are not the same 🤯 lol jk but i’m the type guy that would have a nice looking work truck
carlos perez my work truck is bad ass. 05 Dodge Ram: custom sound system, pioneer double din, 2000watt hifonic Brutus amp, 20” factory chrome sport wheel with Atturo 275/65r20 mud tires. I love her😍 check out my channel, she’s in some of my drone videos.
A practical princess
I love how the guy with the big jacked up truck tries to act like he uses it as a work truck
This guy put down the book lol
Tell that dude to offer a holiday bonus to the crew who best takes care of that truck!
How to build a work truck buy it from a dealership lol end of story
Jordan Oliver then it’s not a true work truck I put headache racks on all my trucks
That’s what was said in this video. Buy a Chevy wt model
Or adding dump boxes.
You dont "build" work trucks dumbass you use them
I bought a work truck, 2017 silverado.. while it would be nice to have the options of the next trim level I wasnt willing to spend 7k to get a backup camera and heated seats and mirrors and bluetooth. It all comes down to my truck is going to do the same thing as the other trim levels, all I wanted was the 5.3L that was a sale point for me. If it didnt have that I wasnt buying it. I love my truck works like a top I have sense put a dual exhaust on it cold air intake and some side steps and bought some rims.
i agree with everything he said besides the fuel mileage which obviously depends on what you do with the truck. If youre pulling equipment the gasser is gonna be a dog and destroy fuel mileage, also if you spend the extra $1000-$2500 on the deisel for delete, the gasser will never touch the diesels fuel milage nor the reliability
So i recently bought a 2door tahoe with 37.5” tires and a 9” lift. Im really just going for a cross between a pavement pounder/show truck and something to have fun with down the road
Mason and concrete company I work for gave me a truck because I run the concrete pump.. just a 2006 Chevy 3500 duramax regular cab and while it does have so dings I wash and clean it once a week.. while it’s not my truck there are nice enough to let me use there stuff
I love these longer videos:)
I have a obs 97 gmc Sierra. It's a work truck for me. I build fence mow and do christmas lights. I put a leveling kit on it. Some mud terrain tires (I live in the panhandle in texas, so its common) new headlights and taillights all collormatched white. I'm looking on the website for some rims that I just really fall in love with. On the interior I got led lights.(in the factory housings) a 10 inch sub under the back seat. New leather seats because mine were ripped up. Ofcourse a dashcam (incase of a wreck) new bluetooth radio with nav and all jea speakers.
In the engine I have basicly the stock 5.6L vortec engion. With new plugs and wiring. New stronger tranny brand new radiator and airconditioner system complete. Im running a flomaster exhast and am soon replacing the regular like 1.5 inch exhast tip and pipe with a 3 inch. Running from right after the flomaster till the exit. Basically spent all my money from fencing and mowing in the summer fixing her up. Got around 1000 left so I'm starting work at discount tire next week and am about to do christmas lights so I can finnish her up. Will post on the gallery when I get the rims in.
Sounds like you got everything all planned out!🤙
@@CustomOffsetsTV been spending hours looking at things. I turned 16 at the beginning of the summer. Love working on the truck.
I feel that show trucks are going to basically be the exact opposite of a work truck because when it’s all set and done most builders are going to get the higher trim and optioned out truck such as a duramax Denali since that’s what makes it’s a show truck. It’s like bragging in a way. You go all in or don’t go in at all
Air bags for hauling
I think we’re missing a big category here. At the end he asks show or work truck but there’s also recreation trucks. Trucks built for purpose like over landing, rock crawling, Baja/trophy trucks etc. These trucks, as long as they aren’t heavily modified, often are used for daily driving as well but for modification fall in-between the work/show truck categories.
Great episode
Work truck=man. Show truck=city boy
Show truck show guy: peace!
Work truck show guy: see ya!
Work truck is fine with a level -33 if you want to get crazy then something like 275-295-/70-75-/18 but most likely only for the owner same reason because of towing and in and out consistently.
2 of my subscriptions collide
I’d love a truck but it just doesn’t check the boxes.
Needs to seat 8
Pull 6 sleds,skis or atvs.
All the gear.
Sounds like you're gunna need a 6 door excursion!
You need to cut up a school bus
A bit of both
I have an 01 duramax that is used for a work truck it’s my farm truck and just like he said 3/4 ton with a decent tire stock rims maybe upgraded suspension but it works like a champ and is beat to high hell but it still is a great truck
i use my work truck as a family truck as well so i needed an extended/crew cab. but i agree with him if i didnt need the room for a family id buy a single cab with a canopy
I don’t like the super wide wheels. I like a stock rim and beefier tires. The wide wheels just don’t do it for me.
They look silly and obnoxious
The best work truck is a 2wd Chevy half ton with the 5.3. 07.5-13 body style.
I built mine to work in the Bush. Traction ( larger lugs, lsd), clearance (tall, skinny, not protruding), dependable (low option list
Leveling kit and some mud tires. Not a huge lift a decent one and decent sized tires. Ones that can b used great off-road and have a lot of life but will still have a work trucks function ability
Loved this! Great info
Appreciate it!
show trucks are cool but in the work force we are looking for practicality. like as an example my work truck is a 1996 ford f250 and it is still stock height but i still fit larger than stock tires under it just because of the terrain i deal with. its all about what fits your needs best
My truck is both, but leans more to the work/daily driver
My favorite tires are bf Goodrich K02's best tires you can buy for the money, they work flawlessly in Michigan weather in snow, ice, off-road, wet roads etc... Well worth the $1200
Work truck all day. That's what my 2010 F-150 is for. An occasionally the off-road trail play. 🙂
I like cruise control control on my work truck. Nice to take my foot off the skinny petal once and a while. There is no monetary pay back just a break from pushing the petal.
See alot of people leveling plow trucks so when the weights on the front it sits like with was stock.
Thats what we did with our truck otherwise it sags to far
I'm building my F150 as a Hybrid just doing a 2.5" leveling kit, some nice 17" wheels and 35" tires and pretty much call it good after that maybe a few other little things but nothing big
🤙🤙
Same with my Silverado but I have 18” and 33”s. Wish I woulda got the 35s now that I know they fit
What about the resale value of the diesel work trucks over the gas versions
Would you buy a beaten to crap base model truck just because it was a diesel
@@gavinkasold3712 no but I know a lot that would
I had a GMC Sierra 3/4 ton work truck single cab and a crew cab Chevy z71. Guys dead on about the crew and extended cab just being thrown full of crap. Next truck I will be going back to a work truck model
Why did I watch this while video?

I have owned two types of trucks the lifted 6 inches for four-door and now I own a single cab midsize truck 99 Tacoma on a 3 inch lift to be exact and I do use my trucks as their attended but I do like that lifted truck luck with nice looking wheels and tires but I also do you them like a truck and I am still gonna put a lift kit on my trucks but not so big to where they do not perform like a truck should. If I need to tow something or have something in a bad my truck I want it looks just as good being used as it does pulling into parking lots
Think I would go with a multi fuel engine if I was building it. And more of off road type package. Something I can hose out with ladder racks that a cap will slide under. And a heater from hell. Manual 6+ speed cut down on drivers. 2-3 lift depending maybe no lift. Whatever sized rims I can get large selection of cheap tires. As close to dirt road brown as possible.
I own a stock 2010 F-250 diesel that i use for work and play... my goal is to lift it 4" and hybrid tires and have bling with functionality BDS for sure but not sure on wheels n tires? when im ready to make this move Custom offsets is who ill be calling!!

I think that is a good call !!! JDZ
I am building my truck for both right now for work and for show which is possible
We run Toyo AT 3’s on our service trucks
My truck 90% work 10% show
Id love to build my truck for show, but its a work truck first. No lift, no fancy tires, no Prinsu racks. But I can go crazy with lighting!
The guy ain’t wrong but at the same time you need to have your guys taking better care of your equipment
Unwritten rule treat the bosses truck like gold
@10:20 no air compressor on the work truck?
I also hate seeing the d bags out in the oilfields with a lifted dmax on 20 in Rockstars. As soon as it snowed or rained you didn't see them
That’s my guy right there
What y’all think about lowered trucks
I built my truck for both 🤣
My truck is for work in the oilfield in Canada. But I am a project manager. So I drive in deep snow, sometimes mud, mostly on road though. I have a 3/4 ton to drag my holiday trailer, farm tractor and the odd skid steer around. So it is leveled to be able to have a little more ground clearance in the front. And has Duratracs due to good traction and winter rating with decent highway wear. But it is gas. I don't need the extra expense and headaches of a diesel to pull heavy twice a month. And due to high mileage adding expensive mods and lift kits only to get a new truck every couple years is not worth it. A nice set of wheels makes it a little more personalized though 😊
I started at a job using my personal truck that I had done a bit to. Leveled, exhaust, 18s with 35s. Just a total mall crawler for a 19 year old. Started working with it an just beat it to shit.
You guys should do a video about how to upgrade the suspension and wheels and tires for a guy without a lift
Our gallery has plenty of trucks on stock suspension! bit.ly/2D4ik58
I basically didn't learn shit in this video, ima just pimp out 14 Silverado WT crewcab, i already put on step rails, a bed cover, a 2 inch leveling kit, and 20s on 33s cause my wt isn't really for work, i just use it to go long distances or to pick up big loads or haul a couple of things.
I’m 16 and I honestly couldn’t care what my parents or my family thinks, If I want a diesel then I’m getting me a diesel
Fight for your right to party😎🤘
Custom Offsets thanks, I like your vids too
If you're not hauling you don't need a diesel. Plain and simple.
Now if you want one just because and you keep it forever, get a diesel.
Ive always heard the term mall crawler used as an insult, is it actully one ?
To off road guys it's the ultimate insult, but it really only means that it's an on road show truck only.
Ive heard this guy talk about this somewhere before
I have a work truck 2000 f350 7.3 crew cab lifted 4inches and on 22x12s 35s
How is getting in and out of that multiple times a day??
Easy ive always had stuff tall ish so im used to it and i hate getting in short stuff.
I prefer a work truck
facts my dad be like I’m getting a fu*king ram 2500 hemi desiel bro to pull 20,000 pound dog
"Hemi diesel"😂😂
What are the white wheels that are beside the other dude. (Not fuller) at the far right side of the pallets
Looks like these! bit.ly/2QfFb3E
My trucks get hammered, and I dont like diesel motors period....I dont tow either so have no need for one and yeah 10k more forget it....just got new chevy (lot nicer than WT) but still have my 2005 toyota that works great but is beatto pulp....my new chevy will do some work out of it but trying to be careful and use this for mostly meeting clients and just getting to work, lol
And yeah no mods to work truck.....buy last yr models new at best possible price ( like right now thru dec)....maybe 8ft bed with reg cab or small extended....vinyl interior and not even sure if you can get a truck without power windows anymore......25-30k maybe less brand new easily if you buy at right time.......used trucks are pricey and new ones you know exact history of vehicle....I would have bought used but got mine for cheaper than any 2 or 3 yr old ones and I checked pretty thoroughly....was shocked how much used go for actually.....
I’m going with the hybrid truck single cab long box good for beating on with nice ish wheels I don’t care about
