Nice looking truck. Too bad looks don't make it run good.

So, what is wrong with the truck that can't be repaired?

Would you mind talking about your hard wired radar detectors a bit more?

The Radar is probably a Passport and about 3K or so. A must in an Exotic.....

Sorry to hear about your problems brother but glad you are getting in a new rig. The Carli 2.5 Pin Top King I have is great. I can only imagine the Coilovers.

A hardwired radar detector isnt 3k.

I have an older whistler, but see they have a new series...might be time to upgrade

the radar dector that is hard wired is the escort 8500. Ultimate car and truck here in albuquerque has a kit to do it. Those guys can do anything.
if you need to talk to them they can be reached at 505-294-1204. Talk to Chuck or Ryan they can do anything.

Can you let us know details of why they are buying it back? Is it an exchange?

It is bascially an exchange. They take the MSRP of both trucks and I have to pay the difference and I also have to pay 56 cents per mile that was on my truck...Don Challmers in Rio Rancho NM has been taking care of it for you me. They have been very professional and very helpful. They are a great dealership. The only kink is that i had about 28k worth of acceissores on the old truck. Ford is paying to transfer everything but the lift, they will not do the lift. Since I have to purchase a new lift i went with the Carli lift with king ranch coil over shocks. ..I should have pictures of the completed truck by next weekend.

I think the question was referring to what specific problems you had with the vehicle. Was it a lemon law situation?
