I found the perfect truck yesterday..or should I say the truck found me? lol
and it's NOT a Chevy :p
I had actually drove down to Ontario, CA to go look at a 2007 Chevy 2500HD, but after my initial inspection and test drive, there were a few red flags about that truck that didn't sit well with me, so I went with my gut and passed on it..the 'salesman' at that particular dealer was a real ass on top of it, making my decision to walk away even easier, lol
So, I figured while I was down the 'hill' I would drive around and check out some other trucks and this one just so happened to catch my eye.
It's a 2004 Ford Super Duty F-250 XLT 4D Crew Cab, V8 6.0L/364 DI V8 Turbo Diesel (Power Stroke)
It's got the Class V towing package with 7/4 pin combination connector, trailer brake wiring kit ect.
It also has a Prodigy P2 Brake Control mounted in the cab under the stereo.
This was a 1 owner truck, and with only 106,321 miles (which I think is good for a diesel no??) it looks and more importantly runs beautifully. The previous owner really took care of it and kept up to date with the servicing (kept all records)
oh yeah, and it's also fully loaded :p
I think I did good at $13,000 out the door...
So now, I'm going to be shopping around for the distribution hitch..
After all this, I'm going to need a little vacation with my hubby in our new travel trailer. haha
