I think they want way too much money

Both are real nice trucks but I believe they are asking way too much. Good luck on the hunt. When buying a truck let them know lifts and big tires do not up the price. In fact they should lower the price due to premature wear of parts. Aftermarket parts sweaten the deal but they should not be the deal.

first one is a nice looking XLT...take about $5-7k off the price though

2nd one....yeah....try not to laugh at them too much


1st truck was rode hard and put up wet. you can see the spray "protectant" and the rust that is formed already underneath. especially on that blingy lift


I suggest you look at Autotrader first. Whoever that dealer is, they are smoking some good stuff

Like the others have said, the prices are too high. Sadly enough gentlemen the dealer is in business because some guy will come along and be happy to pay that price for it. Diesel's are in style these days.

If you can get the loan or cash together, plunk $14,000 on the guys desk and tell him I'll take it. (the first one)

It's a ten year old truck that looks great, but I'm not real sure without seeing it in person. Good luck. I hope you find an SD. They are awesome.

And here I thought I was crazy for driving 37" tires with my 3.73's, this guy did it with 40" tires...

Nice looking trucks, just way overpriced (as mentioned). Good luck with your search!

Skip those two and head down to Lenz Truck. Much better inventory and you can probably find a better deal on a newer truck.

Used Trucks - Ford, Dodge, Chevy, Toyota, GMC, Honda, Nissan - Lenz Truck Center - Fond du Lac, Wisconsin
