“MIKE WANTED A LARGE TRUCK WITH A HIGH PAYLOAD AND A LOT OF POWER TO GO WITH IT. AND, BECAUSE THE TREMOR HAD A 7.3-LITER GAS V8 GODZILLA ENGINE THAT PUSHES 430 HORSEPOWER WITH 475 LB/FT OF TORQUE, HE GOT JUST WHAT HE WAS LOOKING FOR.”

There’s a good chance you’ve come across one of the Last Line of Defense’s (LLOD) vehicles while browsing through social media or have stumbled across his popular YouTube page.

In only a few short years, Mike Pfeiffer of Last Line of Defense has amassed quite the following, with more than 365,000 subscribers on YouTube and more than 138,000 on Instagram. Through social media, he’s been able to share his gear reviews, tips and advice for survival in the outdoors, as well as his various project vehicles that range from a Toyota Tacoma to an all-new Ford F250 Tremor.

The Ford F250 is the perfect rig for finding epic views.

Growing up as an “Army brat,” Mike was naturally exposed to travel and learned survival techniques along the way. After college, he found himself in the mountains of Colorado and has been there for the past decade, living at around the 9,000-foot elevation mark. His proximity to the outdoors makes it easy for him to explore the countless trails in his free time—when he’s not at his day job or behind the computer editing his next YouTube video. He often spends a night or two on the trails, where he’s able to escape and relax, as well as practice basic survival skills.
