- Do you remember as a kid how everyone told you
that you could be whatever you wanted to be in life?
I mean, hell I wanted to be a pro football player
when I was a kid.
- [Announcer] Touchdown! - And (chuckles)
we see how that worked out.
The fact of the matter is that
sometimes people are just inherently better
at certain things than others.
I mean, after all,
that's why you'll find me parked right here in this stool,
making YouTube videos
and not tossing out stiff arms
and scoring touchdowns on the gridiron.
In the same fashion,
some trucks are just naturally better
when it comes to certain styles of builds.
I'm Dustin with Custom Offsets.
You can find me on the old instagram @Dusti.Co

While we are jumping into this one,
there is one important thing to note.
While these are our top picks for each build style,
it doesn't necessarily mean that
they are the only trucks that can be built like this.
Sure.
There are some trucks
that just naturally play into certain build styles,
but at the end of the day,
you are building your truck for you.
Meaning that, if you wanna slam your Cummins, you can.
If you wanna lift your Tacoma
and throw 24 14s with spacers on it,
you can do that too.
It's yours.
First up on the list
is going to be one of my personal favorites,
the OEM + style daily driver.
We are not talking about the guys who daily drive
a nine inch lift and forties here,
but rather guys that are running levels or small lifts,
20 by 10s, 20 by 12s, 33s,
that kind of thing.
If this is a style you are looking to achieve,
it's hard to beat the 2014 and newer GM 1500 trucks
for this one.
Personally, I feel these trucks
are one of the better looking trucks in the market.
Additionally,
aftermarket parts are plentiful for these trucks.
Wheels are easy to find.
Lift kits are pretty affordable and available
from pretty much all the big brands.
And to boot,
these trucks are IFS or independent front suspension,
meaning that they will ride relatively well
even after you install your lift or level.
Next up on the list is the tow rig.
And I'm sure you guys already know
where we're gonna go with this one.
Now listen, before you angrily hammer away
at your iPhone screen in the comments section,
I want you to understand that
I know that you can tow with a single rear wheel truck.
Trust me when I say that
I've seen some single rear wheel trucks on the farm
tow a lot more than they should, and handle it well.
But if you are looking to build a dedicated all the time,
all it needs to do is tow my show truck down the road,
a Dually is the answer.
That's it.
It's that simple.
Tow capacities are higher on Duallys
than their single wheel counterparts.
They ride a little better.
And in my opinion, they look fantastic
rolling down the road
with a Gooseneck and a show truck behind them.
I mean, there is nothing better than
a slam Dually with a pain of the match Gooseneck,
and a big old truck build on the back.
All right, moving right along then.
Let's talk about the Overlander guys.
If you are looking to get lost in the woods
with a rooftop tent and a jerrycan bolted to the tailgate,
you are gonna wanna look no further
than the one and only Toyota Tacoma.
Listen, it should come as no surprise here
that the Tacoma is literally the staple
of off-roading and overlanding.
Their relatively small frame and capacity for the size
makes them a rockstar on narrow trails and on forest roads.
Pair this with Toyota's raw ability,
and you've got a rockstar recipe for success.
Plus the cherry on top is that
you can find pretty much every single part
you could ever want for a Tacoma
available from tons of manufacturers,
making the parts affordable.
Sticking with that same theme,
let's say you wanna do a strictly off road build.
It's not really our style,
but even we can't deny that the Jeep JK and JL chassis
are pretty much built right from the factory
to take off road.
I mean, they clear 35s from the factory,
and with a two or three inch lift,
that clearance quickly jumps to room for forties.
Forties.
Lifts are plentiful for these Jeeps,
with several manufacturers making four inch lift kits
for under $2,000.
Additionally, there are tons of options
for accessories for Jeeps.
Lighting, bumpers, winches, recovery gear,
the list goes on and on and on.
And while you can't find a lot of those on custom offsets,
if you are looking for Jeep accessories for your Jeep build,
you can find those from our friends over at
trailbuiltoffroad.com
All right, so we talked about tow rigs and daily drivers,
we've talked about getting off the pavement in a Jeep
or even camping in your Tacoma,
but what if you just wanna build a truck
to flex for the gram.
You know what I'm talking about here?
We are talking massive lift,
30 by 16, skating down the road,
starry night headliner,
the whole ball of wax.
In my opinion,
there are a few trucks out there that compete
with the fifth gen Ram for this one.
Specifically here, we're gonna be talking
fifth gen 2,500 and 3,500 commonest trucks.
Even if you are not a Ram guy,
there is no denying that these trucks look fantastic.
They come in great colors like Del Monaco red,
and the interiors are stunning.
I mean, they have a 13 inch display in the dash.
That's a whole ass iPad on your dashboard. (chuckles)
Pretty wild.
Plus they have a ton of room from the factory
for wheels and tires.
Meaning that, you can cram some 24 14s in there
with less worry about rubbing or trimming.
Did we nail the list,
or did we miss a truck for a bid?
