As per his own words, YouTuber Logan Paul is a man now. It’s not because he continues to ride the high wave of his Internet popularity, which has parlayed into a successful podcast and a promising career as an amateur boxer, but because he now has his first-ever truck. A man truck.
The bigger the YouTuber, the bigger and flashier the car. That’s not an actual saying, but it is the norm with today’s content creators slash influencers slash social media stars. Logan Paul is no different so, for his first-ever truck, he commissioned the Diesel Brothers to build him a very special rig.
They delivered, as the video at the bottom of the page shows. It’s a custom, lifted, all-black Ram that comes with its own paintball gun mount and a booming sound system, which they personally drove down to Los Angeles to present to him outside his home. In the process, they also tried to play an elaborate but predictable prank on him by leaving the truck (keys inside, and everything) just outside his home in his gated community and then stripped it off of its wheels and tires, leaving it on wooden blocks.
In all fairness, this video aims to be funnier than it actually is. A prank of this kind only works if the prankee falls for it completely, which isn’t the case here. Paul suspects Dave Sparks & Co. of stripping the truck of its wheels from the get-go, though he couldn’t possibly explain why they’d do that.
But it does have its funny moments, like when Paul’s dad admits to selling the Ford Raptor he got from his son as a Christmas present, to buy himself a BMW motorcycle. With the rest of the money, he also bought a Sprinter he converted himself into a tiny home and “a couple of shotguns.” Another hilarious moment is when Paul is talking about how this is the day he’s finally a man while holding a box of Pokemon cards.
At the end, after the big “reveal,” the Diesel Brothers and Paul take the Ram out for a drive, and Paul admits that this is his first-ever truck and that he loves it. The video ends with a vague promise from Dave Sparks about a future project with Paul, which may or may not involve some sort of truck giveaway. Yet another funny moment (for countless commenters, that is) is when the Diesel Brothers stop by a regular car wash to wash the custom Ram, scrubbing it with what looks like a standard brush and possibly scratching the new coat of black paint.
On a final note, Logan Paul will now have plenty of time to enjoy his new sweet ride since his exhibition fight with Floyd Mayweather has been canceled. “Postponed,” Paul promises.
