Allegedly

Noooo!! The ****** is ya just can't keep a truck perfect forever. I live in NE ohio.. just the way it is. Them TN and Florida trucks are big $ with high miles and most of the ones I find are 2wd....?

It had a plow on it at one time when this guy bought it but he pulled it off when he bought it. Said he got it from an old timer and all the plow hardware was like new. But he did away with it all for the same reason we don't want plow trucks...TRE's and BJ's.

Pic wouldnt load right. But I get the gist. I talked to dude on the phone today. He said that there is starting a wee tiny rust bubble on the rear quarter panel....has me concerned about what I'd find when I pull the tail light housing.... Mehh.

Ok so you mean the weather stripping around the doors? The inner fender on the rear. I'll bring a mirror if they are shitty bout it. But honestly I'm tired of crusty trucks if this one is crusty like really at all, I'm good. I won't pay 10k+ for a rusty truck don't care how small the rust is...nope. and I don't care if I drive 4 hrs to come home empty handed.

Hey! I just found an 11 ext cab 6.0 4x4 71k on it for 18!. Hopefully it'll still be there this weekend gotta go clear to NY for it I'm in ohio. Anything specific I should look for in a 2500 when I intend to use it fory above purposes?

Oh ok that's actually great to know. Thanks. I'm hoping for like 07/09 plus for 15k (ish) and 100k or less miles 4x4 with ext cab. Quad cab would be nice. But Im already pushing my luck with my 15k price tag lol it's gonna take me quite awhile to find it im sure but I'll get it eventually dang it lol

I wasn't really after a diesel truck. I was at first but in my opinion value of them just isn't there for me. I could get one for 15k but it would have 235k miles on it. Not that I'm worried about the engine but everything else all the knobs and push buttons, and comfy seats will have all the "good" plumb wore off.. It Hhhmmm yeah i could do a 1500 if I found the right one. But a 2500 would be a sure bet to do what I need. And I do like 6.0ls I'll look for one. I'm curious though. When did they change the trans from the 4L series?

Ok thank you!! that's a slight bummer...I have seen some really nice 1500s in my price range (15k with 100k or less miles). Was hopeful for a min that I could get away with a 1500. Honestly I can get away with my ranger for most of the stuff I do but when It comes time for those bigger adventures when your hauling a bed full of dirt bikes and towing a offroad jeep or tracker ya know. Along with all the support stuff. Tools gas food beer people ya know like that. I'm more choosing 10k lbs as a safe number I'm not sure I'd ever hit. But if/when I do I can tow with confidence that I'll be able to finish the job.

So I am actually a ford ranger guy. But I need a full-size truck for well full-size truck stuffs. Hard to fit ply wood and haul cars and tractors with a ranger. So I thought about it and decided I'm after a truck to haul 10k lbs. Figured that would do anything I'd ever need with ease. Like towing any offroad toys I'll be getting. Trail truck or SxS ya know that stuff. When I learned about how shitty triton engines were I decided I'd never own one, and I can't afford an ecoboost nor do I want to try and fix a twin turbo setup in 10 years. And as for dodge well...it's dodge no thank you. So that just leaves GM products (can't afford a tundra). So I figured a 2500 4x4 truck would do it just fine what do you guys think? Anyone know of a specific tow package for 1500 or is it not so good for their trans to tow like that? Looking for input 1500 or 2500? Sorry in advance I don't know my way around the forum yet.
