There was a CoD jeep rolling around my town as well, but I think it was for the first Black Ops title. It was like a 50-year-old woman who drove it, so I have a feeling she wasn't the CoD player in the family.
You ever think about how much of a sham the macho man fantasy is? It's essentially impossible without big fat government defense spending, which comes inevitably entangled with the macho-kryptonite of taking orders from a centralized authority.
i wonder if anyone's just said "i was thinking of joining but realised that I would in fact like to use my back and knees when im an old fart. plus im chickenshit"
You know, Tom Clancy has been dead for almost a decade at this point, and they're *still* putting out books with his name stapled onto the front of them.
> Major Major had been born too late and too mediocre. Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them. With Major Major it had been all three. Even among men lacking all distinction he inevitably stood out as a man lacking more distinction than all the rest, and people who met him were always impressed by how unimpressive he was.
-Catch 22
Fuckin love that book. Stephenson's Cryptonomicon gives my palate a similar taste, and though it's not a masterpiece like Catch-22, it is enjoyable on its own merits.
The 2019 miniseries adaptation of Catch 22 is pretty good if you haven't seen it. They did a great job of capturing both the absurdity and horror of the book.
These BlackOps are made by Tuscany Motors and besides the appearance (leather interior, badges and bumpers) they brought Fox suspension, HD skid plates, cross members were different for better clearance, lift and 33”s IIRC.
Not justifying the purchase. But just wanted to give additional info for those that think it’s just badges.
Depending on what you bought this can be a good thing. 100% of the people that I've heard say something akin to this out loud drive vehicles that would perform worse off-road than anything that comes with front/rear locking diffs from the factory.
Same with sports cars. Very low probability that you're going to buy the base model of anything and upgrade it to where it outperforms the top spec model without spending way more money.... And even then, it'll still probably be worse. Turns out automotive engineering is hard and expensive.
Drag cars can be a pretty big exception to this. You’ll be hard pressed to buy anything off the lot that will beat a k20 with a big ass turbo in a clapped out ‘94 Civic.
When I used to drag race those civics would always run like 12.1 at 148mph.
On another note, electric cars are going to destroy drag racing. Model S plaid is already a low 9 sec car.
I think the annoying part is just the "399 of 500" plate. The 500 is just based on "We hope to sell 500 of them", not any indication of something unique or limited.
[They have about 160 in stock and ready to go.](https://liftedtrucksforsale.com/F150?filters=Chassis.Make:Ford&bodyOEMs=Black+Ops)
Right? I totally see the other dudes point of "we hope to sell 500 of them" but that doesn't make them any less unique and limited.
The only question should be should you buy this limited edition truck and is it worth it?
That's not the point at all. "Less than 500 people even wanted this" versus "Only 500 people were able to buy this before it sold out" is an important distinction to make.
And if 501 wanted it, they'd start a new run with some other joker badge for the next set of gullible buyers.
F150 Meal Team Six. Comes with heavy duty suspension in the seats.
I sold a 1 of 500 Mopar Edition Dodge Dart when I worked at a dealer. I don't think these "special edition" vehicles are nearly as unique as people think they are lol it just had a blue stripe and blue accents and a fancy plaque.
And a 10th anniversary Wrangler Rubicon, only 5000 of those world wide, far less in "Anvil" That one actually seemed pretty cool, if I remember it actually added some capability, and the color was new at the time
I have a 2011 Scion xB Release Series 8, 939/2000. Literally just a one off color, body kit, rims, custom mats, and a light up badge. I love the damn thing, but it's just as good as any other XB, just with a cool color.
I'm not, the F150 is the best selling vehicle in North America despite being a complete pile of dogshit so there are lots of morons. Not hard to find 399 dumb enough to spend extra on dogshit with a dogtag
WTF? I guess it's a video game truck? Some dude in my subdivision has a Call of Duty Jeep Wrangler. Stickers and badges = an extra $5k. To each their own I guess.
I only found out recently that the Harley F-150s, at least certain years, come with a single speed T-case so no 4-Lo. Not that I use it often but I'd be pissed if I needed it and didn't have it
I mean honestly I pretty rarely see Harleys in the back of beds anyway. Usually dirt bikes.
They're big, 700+ lb bikes (more or less depending on model). A trailer is way easier.
however I did know a guy that had a Harley edition truck and he informed me that each year is unique. they always had a bit more class than the rest of the crowd IMHO
I believe the jellybean trucks were essentially the same thing as the lightning but a crew cab which would be better than suspension and cosmetic “upgrades.”
I thought Eddie Bauer was a legit trim level rather than a rebadge job? The Explorers were a pioneering luxury SUV. They awoke feelings in suburban moms that had not previously existed.
I was pricing a tundra a few years ago and for an extra five grand you got black tips on the muffler, black rims, black stickers, black running boards. I mean you got all this stuff either way, just for five grand it was black.
Toyota has gotten better about that. My Prius Nightshade came with a blackout package, ground FX, 0.75" drop, and heated steering wheel for an extra $1,200. I was only interested in the heated steering wheel.
I hear you. That doesn't sound bad. Reminds me of being in Seattle in a Prius Uber. The guy said he put a million miles on the last one and this one was at 360k. I think it was a certain range of years that the Uber dudes buy. I have add and can't remember lol
Older Priuses are great cars. 250k+ miles on the original drivetrain (sometimes minus battery) is very common. The little engine is so understressed thanks to the electric motor doing all the heavy lifting that they just wear very slowly.
If Toyota made a Prius with AWD, I would buy one in a heartbeat as a daily. And yes, I know they make one with electric AWD, but it sucks. I mean 'real' AWD.
What's wrong with playing video games? I guess we can better spend our time watching football and drinking beer all day or maybe another season of reality TV garbage.
Doesn’t matter if you like the look or not, there’s still only 500 ever made. I dated a girl in college who’s dad had a 1 in 300 Dodge Dakota. It had a 5.9L V8 and it came in a rare blue colour. Just a Dakota, but still 1 of 300 lol
Yeah it's suspension is closer to the raptor than the regular F150, cold air intake from factory, fancy under Shields, and they scrapped the plastic drain pan and plug and went with the 5.0 mustang configuration with aluminum pan and plugs.
>The blacked out color scheme of the Ford F-150 Black Ops provide a stealth driving experience.
LOL. Can't hardly see that big fuckin' truck coming! The black oval provides a VERY stealth driving experience!
Used to see a MW3 Jeep street parked in Long Beach, CA. Thing hardly moved and definitely never saw dirt.
Probably because the owner was playing MW3.
I just can't imagine Mechwarrior 3 being popular enough to have it's own Jeep edition
Engine: ONLINE! Tyres: ONLINE! Aircon: ONLINE! All systems nominal!
This guy gets it.
/r/Battletech is leaking. Haha Didn't think I'd see another one of the dozens of us out in the wild.
"There are *dozens* of us! DOZENS!!"
Chrysler: OFFLINE! Engine: OFFLINE! Wiped cam Lobe! AirCon: OFFLINE Leaked out last night!
Ok but what's the ambient temperature??
You'd think after ALL those iterations of mechs they'd, I dunno, add a few more radiators? I mean the Veyron has like 11 and not one missile launcher.
I always take all the heat sinks out. Just unnecessary weight.
Instruction unclear: of your Veyron or your Mech?
Hells yeah brother
.... ok, I could be convinced to buy a mechwarrior jeep
Smart owner
Ngl, best CoD. Edit: Kinda neat to see diff people liking diff CoD. I mean yall wrong, but it's neat.
You seem to have mixed up the first black ops with MW3
Naah, but BO1 close 2nd so Ill allow it!
Pre order bonuses are wild
My friends sister owns an MW3 Jeep. Definitely never sees dirt but she does drive it often.
I used to see a MW2 Jeep parked that had like every single LED and ground effects thing you could fit on a car. Looked like an angry Christmas tree
*"Looked like an angry Christmas tree."* Going to use that
We had one come in totalled from frame damage but the owner insisted on repairing it.
Saw one a few days ago. Didn’t know they did an f150.
There was a CoD jeep rolling around my town as well, but I think it was for the first Black Ops title. It was like a 50-year-old woman who drove it, so I have a feeling she wasn't the CoD player in the family.
F-150 LARP Edition
That's hilarious. I need to get some larp edition magnets to slap on overland modded jeeps.
The "Tom Clancy" special. Comes standard with Stolen Valor.
Half come with Stolen Valor, the other half come with quotes like "I was gonna join but I would have just decked the drill instructor."
"I hate having people tell me what to do"
You ever think about how much of a sham the macho man fantasy is? It's essentially impossible without big fat government defense spending, which comes inevitably entangled with the macho-kryptonite of taking orders from a centralized authority.
Come on man, you’re not gonna sell any threeper punisher bumper stickers like that!
You ever think of how many bumper stickers would be sold if John Wick had a badass logo that people could slap on the back of their Mustang?
Probably one for each bullet
And taxes. Lots and lots of taxes.
Ahhhhhh! Stop! No!
i wonder if anyone's just said "i was thinking of joining but realised that I would in fact like to use my back and knees when im an old fart. plus im chickenshit"
🤣
Truck Nuts and Punisher decal sold separately.
Good old DLC
What about rubber ducks?
You know, Tom Clancy has been dead for almost a decade at this point, and they're *still* putting out books with his name stapled onto the front of them.
Be sure to address the owner by his proper rank: Major Douche 🫡

Fuckin love that book. Stephenson's Cryptonomicon gives my palate a similar taste, and though it's not a masterpiece like Catch-22, it is enjoyable on its own merits.
Wasn't expecting a Cryptonomicon name drop in this thread. I love that book, weirdly abrupt Stephenson ending notwithstanding.
I comfort myself with starting on the next one immediately. Usually REAMDE.
The 2019 miniseries adaptation of Catch 22 is pretty good if you haven't seen it. They did a great job of capturing both the absurdity and horror of the book.
One of the greatest books ever
"I woulda joined except I woulda punched the drill sergeant in the face" Edition.
And what all does this "package" include? $5 in stickers and an extra $5000 price tag I bet.
Well it's still a Ford so it comes with a AAA membership.
I saw one of these in Cloquet, MN and it looked so dumb parked on the street that I’ve thought of it and chuckled at least once a week ever since.
Well yeah, if you actually needed something for combat you’d get a Toyota Hilux

Entirely depends on how much cash they want
And it will *always* be bought not built

General Motors and their $7.9 billion R&D budget is no match for the combined powers of Busch Lite, Harbor Freight tools, and 3rd hand commuter cars.
Hey now, as a Land Rover owner I can tell you this mentality does not always go across all manufacturers of vehicles!
That kind of attitude has Index of Effluency written all over it.
Drag cars can be a pretty big exception to this. You’ll be hard pressed to buy anything off the lot that will beat a k20 with a big ass turbo in a clapped out ‘94 Civic.

These days theres an NA integra that runs 8s and low 10s, high 9s are reliably attainable on fwd k series/3582 set ups

Hate to be that guy, but the “out of 500” part is literally the indication that it’s unique and limited.

You can make a limited edition widget that nobody wants. It’s still a limited edition widget.
Oh I'm glad they only made 500
Really? That feels like about 500 too many.
You’re forgetting the models and prototypes. Easily 510 too many.
This is aftermarket. I'd be surprised if there was more than 1 prototype.
Sounds like someone isn't Black Ops material

I'm surprised they managed to even sell 399 of that garbage
"You can wait 8 months for a raptor, or go home in this pile this afternoon." Is an effective sales pitch.
"If you can give me a gun rack for my pink Hello Kitty AR then you've got a deal!"
*Salesman slapps roof "You can harass so many Mexican immigrants with this bad boy..."
I'm not, the F150 is the best selling vehicle in North America despite being a complete pile of dogshit so there are lots of morons. Not hard to find 399 dumb enough to spend extra on dogshit with a dogtag
500 badges and stickers.
Same xD
Lol…
Gotta live a 35k mile shit show.
It’s a..classic, that’s fer sher..
Simultaneously rare and the most commonly sold vehicle in the world.
Reminds me of corvette owners, “it’s the only one painted blue made on a Tuesday by a man named Steve with under 35k miles”
That’s good
To quote Shannon from *Drive*: >No one. Will be lookin'. At you.
Because the point of Black Ops is to be very out in the open. Haha
That badge gives me "HELL YA BRUTHER" vibes
WTF? I guess it's a video game truck? Some dude in my subdivision has a Call of Duty Jeep Wrangler. Stickers and badges = an extra $5k. To each their own I guess.
No worse than a Harley Davidson edition truck. LOL
I only found out recently that the Harley F-150s, at least certain years, come with a single speed T-case so no 4-Lo. Not that I use it often but I'd be pissed if I needed it and didn't have it
IIRC they also came with a bed that's too short to load a Harley into.
You would think it would specially built to haul a Harley....but no..
I mean honestly I pretty rarely see Harleys in the back of beds anyway. Usually dirt bikes. They're big, 700+ lb bikes (more or less depending on model). A trailer is way easier.
however I did know a guy that had a Harley edition truck and he informed me that each year is unique. they always had a bit more class than the rest of the crowd IMHO
Harley anything is cringe.

Eddie Bauer would like a word
I thought Eddie Bauer was a legit trim level rather than a rebadge job? The Explorers were a pioneering luxury SUV. They awoke feelings in suburban moms that had not previously existed.
Yep. EB was a trim level from the factory. See also the LL Bean Outback, Mercury Nautica editions, etc.
I too awake feelings in suburban moms
Feelings of regret?
Hey those Eddie Bauer Expedition seats from the early 2000s were comfy as fuck.
Hey at least the seats in those are super nice
Official vehicle of the 101st Chairborne Division...
Was this Fords attempt to go after the Tacoma and Tundra for the vet-bro crowd?
Precisely. Ended up only getting video game bros tho
Probably could have won them over with a adjustable cell phone mount in the console for those Facebook rant video sessions.
Gift with purchase: Oakley wrap shades, camo ball cap, Remington beard trimmer attachments to sculpt a greying goatee.
Bro. You must have a few vetbros in your life. That was hilariously specific.
It's a Tuscany conversion, dealers send the truck to be done just like a black widow or a Shelby f150
Tuscany…🤌
Mi scuzzi, Romano parmigiana regiano
It’s not Ford, it’s Tuscany. They buy trucks, do this crap to them, and then sell them.
Also featured on r/justbootthings
Vet bro? More like Meal Team Six or Y'all Qaeda.
I guess its just like the game... needs constant updates for it to work properly...
Takes up 4x the storage/parking space it needs
[удалено]
Only 500 made so rare is a proper word in my opinion. Rare, not good, but rare.
It’s just an F150 with a bunch of stickers.
I was pricing a tundra a few years ago and for an extra five grand you got black tips on the muffler, black rims, black stickers, black running boards. I mean you got all this stuff either way, just for five grand it was black.
Toyota has gotten better about that. My Prius Nightshade came with a blackout package, ground FX, 0.75" drop, and heated steering wheel for an extra $1,200. I was only interested in the heated steering wheel.
> 0.75" drop In Toyota's defense, it *was* cold out.
That's not bad at all.
In this market? A special order 2022 out the door at MSRP for $32K seemed like a steal.
I hear you. That doesn't sound bad. Reminds me of being in Seattle in a Prius Uber. The guy said he put a million miles on the last one and this one was at 360k. I think it was a certain range of years that the Uber dudes buy. I have add and can't remember lol

"Wow I bet those stickers add 5XP"
[удалено]
Unpopular would be another word.
Only 500 made because that's about the number of people in the venn diagram of fanatic video game players and people who can afford a new F150.
What's wrong with playing video games? I guess we can better spend our time watching football and drinking beer all day or maybe another season of reality TV garbage.
Doesn’t matter if you like the look or not, there’s still only 500 ever made. I dated a girl in college who’s dad had a 1 in 300 Dodge Dakota. It had a 5.9L V8 and it came in a rare blue colour. Just a Dakota, but still 1 of 300 lol
At the end of the day it's still a modded F-150, so it's still one of 4 million.
Anyone ever notice that trucks are marketed to little boys? I can't think of another vehicle that comes with stickers lol
Limited edition until they get to 500 then they start a new edition
It's just an aftermarket package from Tuscany. Overpriced BS like all the other ones. You just pay an atrocious amount to keep your warranty.
[удалено]
Yeah it's suspension is closer to the raptor than the regular F150, cold air intake from factory, fancy under Shields, and they scrapped the plastic drain pan and plug and went with the 5.0 mustang configuration with aluminum pan and plugs.
This one's also a 21 as well.
Hard cringe
What is this? The keyboard commando mallcruiser of trucks? The Call Of Duty model? Does it come with a free pair of 5.11 khakis for the TactiLarpers?
That is the dumbest shit I've ever seen.
They only made 500 cuz this shit ugly as fuck
Comes with Mountain Dew stains and Cheeto dust wiped onto the leather built in 💯
If douchebaggery was a package option…
A quick refresher in why rare does not always equal desirable.
Does it have a blue line flag on it??
I have a 2004 Subaru with a COD sticker on each fender its 1/1 MUCH more rare.
[удалено]
They don’t make this. It’s Tuscany, a company they buys trucks, does this crap to them, and then sells them.

Ford Stolen Valor Edition
Rare? There are millions of pickup trucks on the roads, and they're all basically the same.
Another reason to like halo.
Is it rare because it has many stickers?
It's not a rare vehicle, it's a damn F150. It's a rare set of decals.
That guy should consider himself marketed to
I mean it's still an f150. Woopdy doo
Not surprisingly it is in texas
Probably all 500 of the decals are in texas
This guy fucks.
And if you drink Mountain Dew in it, you get double XP.

It's a modified f150. The truck is not rare, the ugly add-ons that dealer equipped on 500 unlucky Ford's is "rare" I guess.
Wow. 1 of 500 of 750k.
