Our Ford F350 overland hunting build is designed to be a reliable platform for long-distance travel, backcountry access, and family adventure.


Instead of building a truck purely for looks, the goal with Jolene is to document real-world performance, modifications, and lessons learned while preparing a heavy-duty truck for hunting, road trips, and future overland travel.


This build focuses on practical upgrades, fuel economy testing, tire setups, and real-world ownership experiences with the 2024 Ford F350 Super Duty.

Current Truck Setup


The truck currently includes:

  • 2024 Ford F350 Super Duty

  • 6.7L Powerstroke diesel

  • 3.55 rear gears

  • XLT Off-Road Package

  • factory towing prep

  • 37-inch tire setup


This series follows the evolution of the truck as modifications are added and the vehicle is used on longer trips and future hunting adventures.

Real World Fuel Economy Testing


One of the first things documented with this truck was real-world fuel economy. Instead of relying on dashboard estimates, fuel data is tracked manually to understand how the truck performs during everyday driving and longer road trips.

37" Tire Setup and FORScan Calibration


After moving to 37-inch tires, the truck’s speedometer required recalibration. Using FORScan allowed the truck to properly recognize the larger tire size and maintain accurate speed and transmission behavior.


If you're installing larger tires on a modern Ford truck, recalibrating the speedometer is a critical step.
