A man who won a Ford F-150 truck has been praised for the cool move he made while going to collect the new vehicle.
Aaron and his partner Valerie were the lucky winners of a brand new Ford F-150.
The truck – and $10,000 in cash – was a gift from car lover and YouTuber Cleetus McFarland.
And the couple made a pretty sweet gesture when they came to collect their prize.

The couple won a brand-new Ford F-150
Cleetus McFarland – who you may remember as the guy who bought an abandoned Florida racetrack and renamed it the ‘Freedom Factory’ – gave away two Ford F-150 trucks on his YouTube channel.
The Ford F-150 truck may have recently been dethroned as America’s best-selling vehicle, but Valerie and partner Aaron were delighted to head down to the Freedom Factory to collect their winnings, which included $10,000 cash as well as the truck.
But when the couple arrived to collect their prize they didn’t come empty handed.
In a sweet gesture, Aaron had brought along a new Miller’s Digital Infinity welding helmet for Tye Braun, metal fabricator and star of the Cleetus McFarland YouTube channel.
“That’s awesome,” Tye said shaking Aaron’s hand, to which he replied that it was ‘the least they could do’ in return for the free truck.
The sweet gesture was branded a ‘dope’ move
The kind-hearted move was praised by McFarland’s YouTube followers.
“The fact the winner brought Tye a gift is amazing,” one follower said. “Good for that family!”
“Bringing a gift for Tye was classy as heck,” a second follower said.
“Super wholesome of that family gifting the welding helmet, they didn’t have to but they wanted to,” another person wrote.
“Goes to show these giveaways are going to the right people.”
“Crazy humble to bring a present along to pick up the giveaway vehicle. That’s dope,” another impressed follower said.
As well as picking up the new truck, Aaron also got a chance to take it on a test drive and really made the most of his time at the Freedom Factory pulling off some seriously impressive donuts.
