Congrats on the new to you ride, from the pic looks like the outside is in great shape and just over 32k is nothing, lot of 5.4's that are in the 500k range. Whoever had it looks like they took pretty good care of the outside.

Looks like your off and running to do your upgrades to you new ride. We always like to see everyone's add on's some of us get some great ideas from those who share their mods

I'm curious how a truck with only 31K miles would already have worn out seats?

Awful low mileage trucks. It would make me run carfax reports just to verify the mileage, but yours is nice and clean on the outside. I wish mine was half that nice looking...LOL
