Years ago on a job,the boss asked everyone what a wheelbarrow was. He said ,"That's an invention to teach an Irishman to walk on his hind legs"We had a Mick on the job who took enough offense to chase the super around the yard.
It is a reference to the six or seven diesel engines HD Fords have had the past dozen or so years. They had so many issues with some of them (a reason why they changed the design every year or two, that that is what the Dodge Diesel guys started calling them.
A wheelbarrow is a manually operated tool with two handles; one on each side of the body.
Ford has the option of a heated tailgate,so your hands don't freeze when you are pushing it home in the winter. My brother in law calls 2 beers Irish handcuffs.
So, what do you call a Ford truck with a Triton engine ?
A Lemon.

I had one of those, was a good truck, till I slid through a stop sign, on ice and hit a concrete buffer. Guessing you don't have that problem in Florida.

I would not trade my 99 ford Superduty 7.3l for any new truck out there.
Fun is driving thru a new truck dealership and when the salesman see it is a 7.3 they try to get you to sell it out right. So they can resale it to some one on there waiting list for one.
