I am guessing these are taped on? I am looking at a Harley edition truck but am not a biker so I would like to remove these letters from the bedside if I bought the truck.

 

They are a decal , heat gun to remove them, or ask the dealer to have them removed for you .

 

It should only take a few minutes with a heat gun, or a warm summer day and some Goo Gone to get rid of the lettering. I've been removing the dealership badges and some extraneous factory ones from vehicles for years using these methods.

 

The price on that truck is probably higher than a non Harley Davidson truck. The Harley Davidson logo and lettering is present in other places as well as the bedsides.
If I wasn't into Harleys, I'd buy a different truck.

 

Probably right. I have a friend who just turned 80. All he buys is Harley F150s. He's never owned a Harley in his life. But I'd say the resale might be a touch higher if the Harley stuff was left alone. Don't worry about whether other people think you ride or not. If you like the truck, buy it and drive it.

 

I'm not into Harley's at all. I have almost bought Harley Davidson F-150's in the past because I liked the styling and the looks of them for the most part. I wouldn't worry about it. If you like the truck than get it and drive it. If you want to customize it that's fine too. Understand that if you have plans on reselling the vehicle, removing those emblems and appearance changes that are part of the truck will impact the value and even its desirability.

 

Its a truck built with lots that I like. Its got a fresh motor built to support decent power. I am not worried about resale as I will build it into something just as desirable or even more so. I watch the truck market daily and this rig is one of the better buys right now. Its a longbox which I need and they are much harder to find than the much more popular shortbox. It good to know the letters are just stuck on. I usually debadge or at least change my badging. Am considering it as my current duty is starting to bore me a bit.

 

Is this truck a newer model or something?

 

I would have the dealer remove them. Depending on how long they have been on the truck, it is possible the paint will be discolored which will require buffing with compound and/or polish.
