Thinking about buying a 2016 Ford F-350 Dually. 6.7 Powerstroke Diesel, 90000km (56000mi). Truck is in very good condition and is almost flawless. Haven't test driven it yet, but I see no reason for it to drive poorly. Price is $45000. This is all in Canadian dollars, and the Canadian truck market (obviously). The bed looks clean which makes me think it wasn't worked particularly hard.

Reason: I somehow forgot the price. durrrrrr
Are those 5 large bolts with washers in the bed standard, or did the prior owner have a 5th wheel hitch mounted in it. We now have a motorhome, but have friends that bought a F-350 and after weighing everything found out their triple axle monster was about 2,000 pounds over the limit for their F350 and that they really needed a F-450. They were over the total combined weight and the rear truck axle was being overloaded by over 1,000 pounds. We have seen several people that had to upgrade to the F-450. Just something to think about. Big difference if that mileage was mostly towing an overweight 5'er versus Running empty and towing 5-10,000 miles. Might explain why the bed is so clean. Just something to think about.

The 5 "bolts" in the bed are the mounting locations for the goose neck and 5th wheel hitch. It is a factory installed option on many trucks. Could be ordered and installed at home or shop if not ordered installed from the factory.

Price seems a little high to me. I'm in BC. It is low mileage but still seems a bit high to me if you're asking. I guess it depends what you're shopping/buying. I see that as a full retail/lot price, not a private deal steal. It's a xlt?
The prep package allows you to use a "puck" style 5th wheel hitch from companies like Reese or Anderson or other. The goose neck ball is removable without haveing to "turn it over". This hitch setup leaves the bed surface clear of any rails that many older hitches used.
I just had a man tell me last Sunday how much he wished and wished he had bought an F450 instead of a F350. Now he's pretty much stuck with the F350 pulling a large 5th wheel.
Do the math on what you predict your needs to be before buying. If you can afford it, it's better to have a little too much than come up short.
Of course, what you can afford just might be the determining factor.
Don't know if this is a private sale or on a lot. If private sale, ask to see the title. If seller does not have it, ask where it is. If at a local bank, ask seller to take you there to see it.
What will that show you? If seller purchased new or used. If used, it will probably show the prior owner. If new, it will show dealer that sold it. If local dealer, have seller go with you to dealer and ask them to download the data mentioned above. Computer dump will probably also show the maximum engine and transmission temperature.
Carfax available in Canada?? If so, get one. It will show most dealer service records and body shop repair if shop was paid by an insurance company. Get hold of the current NADA, or Black Book at your bank. See what is listed as retail, wholesale and loan value. I worked in automotive dealer accounting for a few years and dealers will not pay much over loan value, unless they really want the vehicle. If a dealer was to take this truck, as a trade in, he would probably try to book it for about $1,000 USD below loan value. That way, if he has to send it to auction, he can probably get rid of it and not loose money. Have you bought a vehicle from a local used car lot. Go in, introduce yourself, tell them what you bought, if you still have it, drive it over. Explain you are looking at a low mileage truck and ask him to tell you "what they are crossing the auction lines at". I had a Ford dealer used car mgr want to give me 2K $US less than the were selling for at auction at, Aerostar Van, 3 yrs old, and he wanted the remaining Ford Extd Wty. My saleswoman, in Memphis, was the number one sales person every other month, per plaques on the wall. I will never forget this name, but Mo Jabal had the other plaques. She told me to put a 3 day classified ad starting Friday in the newspaper and ask for $4K more that their used car manager would give. I left home at 7:30 for work and before 9A.M. my wife called as told me to get home as she had 2 customers at our house. The first that arrived, offered to pay my asking price and left her grown daughter with my wife for collateral until she could run to her credit union and get a check. Heard back from them about 3 years later when they thought the remote alarm FOB , aftermarket, was dead and wanted to know who installed it. Said the van had been perfect and could not believe the "low price" I sold it for, as she had looked the prior weekend and found Aerostar's 3 years old had an asking price at dealers of up to $2K more.
OK, sorry this is a long post, but I am retired and try to share my experiences from my working days.
