Don't fret; there's lots of them for sale really cheap if you're really set on one! :W

Happy New Year! :B

We purchased a used one a while back and lost it to a flood during Harvey and it was a really good running truck, but it did have some work on it including injectors. And just so you know the prices of these (05-07) trucks have been going up.

Happy New Years to you...

Lots of pics and descriptions but no mention of axle ratings or Gross and Curb weights, which is what a buyer for this truck needs to know.

Been there and done that with a 6.0L. If anyone is set on an older Ford, look for a 7.3L; it can take time to find a good one and be prepared to pay for it, but it will save a lot of headaches. There is a very good reason why 7.3L trucks still fetch an insane amount of money.....

I'd like to have the bed. Most of those are goose neck.

6.0 or no, I would give him $20,000. If I had it.

Good Lord, no wonder people buy Class 8 haulers and single them.

With only 45k miles and probably pulling most of it's life it would not even have any injector stiction or over heating issues with the EGR/Oil cooler yet. Engine is almost "new".

Pretty sure it's not worth $50k US dollars though.

6.0 is the deal breaker. Otherwise the truck would have sold by now.
