For 65 years, Military AutoSource (MAS) has proudly helped service members stationed overseas to get the right vehicle with ease.
For U.S. Navy PO3 Paulo Abesamis, that meant finding the perfect truck. With guidance from MAS Sales Specialist David Lynch, he landed on the 2024 Ford F-350 XLT Tremor—just the right fit.
A Buying Experience Like No Other
Ordering a vehicle OCONUS can be challenging, but PO3 Abesamis had an exceptional experience with the MAS Naples location. He appreciated David’s patience, expertise and commitment to ensuring his order was a priority. Frequent check-ins and clear communication made all the difference, especially with his tight timeline before separating from the Navy.
Worth The Wait
More than just a vehicle, PO3 Abesamis’ F-350 Tremor represents his six years of hard work and service. Delivered to Texas just two months before his departure home, the truck—nicknamed Veronica—embodies the power and reliability he wanted. Equipped with a 7.3L Godzilla V-8, selectable front hubs, and off-road capability, it’s everything he dreamed of and more. “For what it’s worth, he really takes care of his clients,” PO3 Abesamis said of his experience working with David.
Ready for Adventure
He wasted no time breaking in his new ride, taking Veronica to the Grand Canyon in January 2025. Whether tackling off-road trails or cruising the highway, the truck’s performance has exceeded expectations. “I wanted to own a piece of an old-school OHV 7.3L/445CID V-8,” he shared. He’s already planning a trip to Moab, Utah, and researching upgrades to make Veronica even more capable.
A Decision Well Made
His journey to finding his forever truck was years in the making, but with MAS and David Lynch’s help, it was well worth it. With every mile he drives, Veronica proves to be the dependable, powerful, and adventure-ready truck he always wanted. For PO3 Paulo Abesamis, this isn’t just a vehicle—it’s the ultimate reward for his service and dedication.
