Don't you just love that moment when you're not 100% sure that it will turn over and start?

Looks like Optimus Prime traded in the COE for an f350. That thing is intense.

I'm only saying this because you seem like a man of details, I think your led bar is out of square just a touch. Passenger side looks low. Welp time to go hop into the 04.... hahahahah
I do suppose it could also be the envy talking.

You figure with all of the money they got from the US government for a bail out the least they could go is build a quality product that doesnt break down

Low mile 7.3Ls can still be found for a premium.

I saw one last week, 34k miles and they were asking $29,000.
Thats near new price back in 01 or what ever year the truck was. Some people are on crack when they price their used vehicles.

Saw another last week with 58k miles and a $21,000 price.


Last summer after a wreck put my perfectly good 00 with 232k miles in the bone yard I found another 00 in TX with 96,500 miles and $10,500 price.
I over night mailed them money to hold it until I got my ins settlement and could buy a plane ticket. They said prior to me sending money they had a long line of putzes trying to beat them up on price. After I sent them the hold money they had a lot of traffic trying to pay them cash for the truck so they could have it.
It was a real small private dealer and they stuck to their word and held it for me. Only repairs have been one wheel bearing and the oem clutch later and it purrs like a kitty cat. 128k miles now.



Congrats on the new truck, looks sharp.
I'd have ordered it in silver metallic but thats just me.

Ford took no bail out funds like the other two manufactures did sucking at the gooberment teet.



That is why my truck has this little addition to it.
