I"m selling off all my contracting assets and moving out of state. This truck has served me well for the past 6 years.
This is a 2wd, standard cab truck with the sought after 7.3L Powerstroke. Manual 5 speed with extra low gear for starting heavy loads or trailers. The engine runs like a dream and zero problems with the transmission. I plug in the block heater in the winter for easier starts. Enormous towing power. I"ve had it serviced twice a year since I"ve owned it and my mechanic keeps saying that if I just keep the oil changed, it should run to 500k miles. The tires are two years old and still look new with full tread. Front ball joints, steering joints, and whatever other joints needed replacing have been replaced with NAPA lifetime warranty joints about 3 years ago. There are two batteries on this truck that are new within the last few years. I get a drip every so often that looks like power steering fluid, so that is something to be aware of. I just keep it topped off. It has the 4.88 rear axle so its not fast on the highway, but it will tow anything you want at 65 mph.
The utility bed is made out of 1/8 aluminum plate, so you never have to worry about rust, and there is a 6 month old Tommy Gate (G2) on the back. I"ve hauled everything from tons of stone to drywall and lumber in this truck. This truck has tons of power and literally tons of capacity. The truck was painted from white to metalllic grey. There is no top to the back so its open to the elements. You could easily fabricate a top. The height of this truck is 10" 1 from the ground to top. There is plenty of room to stand up under the back bar inside the bed.
I would absolutely keep this truck, but my body won"t hold up to contracting anymore, so I"m selling all assets. l could possibly throw in some trade tools (depending on what trade you are in) to sweeten the deal. This truck is a work truck. For those of you in the trades, you know what that means. It"s not pretty, but its strong and dependable.
Last note: In Illinois this truck plate requires an inspection every 6 months. This inspection costs $24 to complete and this truck has never failed any of the inspections. My registration fee in Illinois is about $300 per year.
