LOTS OF FACTORS come into play when it’s time to purchase a truck. Sometimes it’s color, style, or a cool set of wheels. Other times, it’s function that sways your decision. Whichever direction you choose, one thing is sure: You’ll know what you like the moment you see it.

That was the case with Travis Johnson, who lives in Royal Palm Beach, Florida, and works as a mechanic at Pela Motorsports in Jupiter, Florida. Even though he’s a young guy, Travis’ ’03 Ford F-350 is the 10th truck he’s owned over the years—including a 10-second drag truck.

Getting (Un)Stuck

IN THE FIRST installment of this series, I explained how I, along with my wife and two dogs, took Vincent Van Go, my new-tome ’03 Ford E-350 with the venerable 7.3L powerplant, on his first adventure—and wound up at a secluded campsite (aptly named Camp Nada Lotta) in the Southern California desert.
