2011 F550 rollback buildup.
Here's the start of my new flatbed. It's a 2011 F550 XL V10. A chrome grille was included in the deal, and will be changed soon.

Nice rig... I like the Blue color also..

How long do you usually run them before you trade them?

Aare you the only driver or do you have other drivers...

I'm hoping to change my current cycle of buying a replacement every 4 years, and having a used back up truck, to buying both trucks new and trading each at 8 years. My 09 F550 is 2 years old and only has 39K on it so far. I am the only driver, I switch trucks as necessary.

Being the only driver sure helps with the wear & tear.. I am sure there are a few conciencious drivers out there - but a great many people will tear the heck out of the equipment if they didn't buy it or don't have to fix it!

I hope that this one turns out as nice as your '09 - (That's one good looking truck)

Very true, a lot less worry's when you drive yourself. This truck will be a lot plainer than the 09, but it will cost at least 40% less too!
