The Names of our Trucks

[theharveys]

We have always named our tow vehicles.
Several years ago we owned a '94 Ford F350 Crew Cab Duelly. We named that truck "Big Mama". It seemed a fitting name for the truck.
Later on we bought a F550 hauler. We named that truck "Mr Big".
Even my sister and my parents got in on the naming thing. My sister and brother in law had a '99 Black F350 CC DRW they named "Mr. Vader".
My parents, (when they were still full-timing) had a gold 2003 F350 CC DRW they named "Big AZ" because they spent the winters in Arizona and that is where they bought the truck.

I have always felt that naming our vehicle (and thus assigning it some human qualities) actually encourages us to take better care of it...of course, that could be just me.

I agree. I've always named my rigs.  Had a big red dodge in the 90's I called Montana, as in Red "Dodge" Montana. My 97 Ford F350 CC LWB was "BOB" for Big Ol Boy. My Latest, an 02 F550 CC 4x4, is affectionately refferd to as "Tom Dually"

My cousin has a bid red Ford he called Robert, "Robert Red Ford"
