True, but Ranger, that doesn't incorporate that it's a customized truck. Truly a one of a kind, and in the condition, not considering miles for a minute, the truck is worth quite a lot more.

Brads truck with his mods is better than new with everything he has done. It is truly a work of automotive art. All mods are tastefull and done to enhance the capabilities of the truck. I watch the prices of OBS Fords and he is also right that clean ones with 300k go for 10-15k. If I had 25k it would be in my driveway.

I am fully aware of "book" value. But you can **** on that as far as these trucks are concerned.
Just take a gander on eBay or Autotrader and see the price of THESE 94-97 Powerstroke trucks. hitting almost 300k and they still demand mid teens
Not an 05 6.0, which were KNOWN to be problematic and almost require pulling the cab to do the simplest maintenance.
As for engine mods... You don't understand these trucks apparently. EVERYTHING thing that was done to the truck was for RELIABILITY and better towing.
It still has the HIGH cc stock injectors so EGTs do not get out if hand but still put 300hp to the ground
It has a Superduty Intercooler to LOWER EGTs
It has ONE piece up pipes to eliminate boost leaks and stainless so they will last a VERY long time.
It has a 13" HD organic clutch to take more abuse, yet still be drivable unlike kevlar and ceramic clutches. A solid flywheel was also installed for relabel service as well. And the 5 speed is HIGHLY desirable yet almost none of these trucks were made with it.
You also missed that is is a SHORT bed, not a long bed which makes it actually MORE desirable to MANY people. They can have a crewcab to haul their family and a short bed to allow easier maneuverability and STILL be able to to a gooseneck, 5th wheel or bumper pull.
The airbags are another PLUS for the towing crowd. it allows a comfortable ride empty yet also can handle a load when towing. the really nice part is, it is fully adjustable with a touch of a button
The dana 60 was also added for RELIABILITY. nor worries of by yearly alignments like the TTBs require to not eat tires. the RSK and SD springs give a SUPERIOR ride of the the Original 35 year old design.
I can go on more but I am sure you don't get any of the points I listed. NOR does any of this have to do with the original post topic.
yes, the economy is in the ****ter and that actually helps the price of my truck. Who has 50k+ for a new truck that if/when it breaks, you are stuck paying the dealer $100+ an hour to work on it. hell the fuel systems on the newer trucks are $8000 if you get "contaminated" fuel

Again, not a hit on your truck as I know the sum of the parts in it are well over your asking. Just that in this market, you need nationwide coverage like eBay Or auto trader to sell it fast, at a price you are comfortable with. Craigs has already shown it is not worth the trouble.

I don't believe that. My ad lasted 3 days over the weekend. That was 2.5 days longer than the last one I put up
