Is this ultimate western hemisphere surf travel vehicle? In some ways, yes. Cheap, used, high-freeway-miles Ford F150.
Parts everywhere. Easy to work on, especially with 2wd and no power anything.
Only 3 people fit in the cab – 2, really. And we all know that the more people on the trip, the less surfing gets done.
Enough room in the cab for backpacks and today’s food and drink – the essentials that can’t get stolen. Enough room in the long bed for everything else, from a gaggle of mini-Simmonses to that Skip Frye 11-footer you’ve been dying to set free of the crowds. Not to mention that dirt bike. And a bicycle, too.
White never looks dirty, not that you care. Actually, the dirtier the better.
Stock rims that no one will want to steal.
A chipped taillight lens, cracked windshield and 3 small dents awaiting many more.
Baja and Central America, here we come.
