Finally pulled the trigger!!!!
2013 F-250 XLT Crew cab 2wd 6.2
Bought a airline ticket on Tuesday. Flew into Dallas (from Chicago) Friday. Jumped in a rental car and drove 4 hrs west to Truck Town in Lamesa TX. Clean car fax. They had several mostly were XL's. Salesman said an oil company shut down one of their oil fields and liquidated some of their trucks. This particular one was the foremans truck hence the XLT package. Car fax said it was a one owner originally purchased in April of 2013. It had 138,000 miles on it when I picked it up. I was looking for a high mileage truck because I do not plan on driving it much. Only when I need to haul my Jeep to the trail. So long term as the mileage closer meets up with the years I am hoping to unload it for close to what I paid for it. To the dealer it was $13,411 OTD. With travel expenses I have about $14,200 into it. Only problems with the truck is the low tire light is on. Going to the tire shop today and if it just has to be reset there will be no charge. If it needs a new sensor about $25. Also only came with one key. Bought two factory keys online for $65 and the dealer will program them for $62.50. I already bought a rear dif seal to do that myself and plan on having the dealer do the trans oil for $199.
Next is to find a trailer to pull my Jeep!

Found the truck using an app called car guru. I did talk price and put money down for them to hold it. They had said if I didn't like it they would refund the money. Of course they didn't have to because I bought it.

Your pic looks like you're towing a house. I wanted the XL. Wanted the rubber floors. But when your shopping used can't be too picky. Ended up just buying some weathertech floor liners.
