Frequently Asked Questions

  • Truman Motors upfits heavy‑duty trucks into highly capable, versatile, and refined vehicles for work, play, and overlanding, with a focus on Super Duty performance truck builds and super single rear wheel conversions.

  • We specialize in Ford Super Duty F‑350, F‑450, and F‑550 platforms, optimized for towing, hauling, off‑road use, and overland truck camper setups.

  • We can either help you source the ideal Ford Super Duty chassis or upfit a truck you already own, depending on your preference and timeline.

  • Our flagship builds are the Shorty, the 350, and the Signature—turnkey Super Duty performance packages centered around our super single rear wheel conversion and upgraded suspension, fenders, bumpers, wheels, and tires.

  • Each package is a starting point. We frequently add lighting, armor, racks, storage, winches, power systems, and camper or trailer integrations, and we also take on fully custom heavy‑duty overland projects.

  • Each build’s base price is listed on its product page; final cost depends on your chosen options, accessories, and camper or trailer configuration.

  • A super single conversion replaces dual rear wheels with wide, military‑grade single wheels and high‑load tires, so the rear tires follow the front “True Tracking” line, reduce rolling resistance in soft terrain, and eliminate debris trapping between duals.

  • With high‑offset, hub‑centric rims, you gain the ground clearance of 41–44 inch tires while maintaining payload capacity and highway stability—ideal for heavy campers, off‑road travel, and serious towing.

  • We use LiquidSpring active smart‑suspension on applicable builds, replacing traditional springs with a compressible liquid medium that dynamically adjusts stiffness and ride height.

  • It delivers the smooth, controlled feel of a luxury vehicle on the highway while preserving heavy‑duty stability, load‑leveling, and off‑road capability under real payload.

  • Yes. Our Super Duty builds are designed for overlanding, remote travel, and camping, and can be configured to work with slide‑in campers, flatbed campers, topper campers, pop‑top shells, rooftop‑tent rack systems, and off‑road trailers.

  • We routinely pair our builds with slide‑in pop‑up or hard‑side campers, flatbed expedition campers, pop‑top topper campers, bed‑rack plus rooftop tent systems, off‑road teardrop trailers, and full‑featured off‑road travel trailers.

  • Our builds are true all‑rounders—engineered to tow, haul, daily drive, overland, and wheel off‑road with one Super Duty that can do almost anything, almost anywhere.

  • Yes. We tune our super single conversions, wheel and tire packages, and suspension so the truck is comfortable and predictable as a daily driver yet fully capable when loaded for adventures.

  • We start with a consultation, lock in your spec (Shorty, 350, Signature, or custom), receive your truck at our Southern California shop, then complete the upfit—typically in 12–16 weeks, depending on scope. You will receive weekly communication and on-time delivery.

  • Once the truck is at our facility and the parts are lined up, most builds take about 12–16 weeks, with highly custom projects sometimes running longer.

  • Truman Motors is based in Southern California, serving local and national clients who need high‑performance Super Duty trucks.

  • Yes. We build on U.S. platform Ford Super Duty trucks, but can coordinate transport for trucks coming to and from our shop and can help arrange shipping or pickup options for international clients.
