A family guy from Missouri bought a six-door Ford F-450, but it soon became a huge pain in the backside.
Brad Ekstam bought a Ford F-450 six-door Heavy Duty Truck from a questionable seller.
The seller advertised it as ‘six doors of awesomeness’, but it has just been a nightmare for Ekstam.
Although the custom truck looks great from afar, the closer you get, the more problems you will see.

Six-door Ford F-450 truck turns into a nightmare
Brad Ekstam, who is the founder of the FASS Diesel Fuel Systems made a video about his harrowing experience.
According to his video, the seller tried to deliver the car four times because the first three times it had multiple problems, and had to be taken back to the shop.
The six-door Ford F-450 had issues like missing components, low-quality finishes, three types of pearl white paint, and more.
The trailer brakes didn’t work either.
Due to that, Ekstam had to drive from Texas to Missouri while towing a 20,000-pound boat with no trailer brakes.
We have seen many cool six-wheeled pickup trucks, but this one seems like a headache.
Ekstam had bought the car for his family but the seller had reportedly ignored critical safety issues.
Even the seats were bolted without proper reinforcement.
In addition to that, the Ford F-450 was leaning lower on the driver’s side due to a suspension failure.
Usually, you expect these kinds of issues when you buy a car from FB Marketplace or eBay, not from a custom shop.
Cool car but with a thousand issues
Ekstam regretted spending more than $200,000 on this car.
Once he posted his experience online, many other unhappy customers contacted him and told him about their own bad experiences.
Now he wants his money back and wants the sellers to solve the problems of all of their other unhappy customers.
