Truck Shopping
Ok I might have found a new truck for my wife. Her truck (the one in my signature) is getting older and I just found a 2006 F350 V10 dually 4X4 Crew CAb Lariat loaded with moonroof with less than 40K miles . Strange part is, it's a short box!!! How many of these did they build? Sure would be better for my wife to manuouver than a LWB dually. Anything I need to look out for specifically??
What was the GVWR that year for that truck and what was the stock rear-end ratio??
We have never owned a 4X4 before. Do I reading remember something about a front end speed wobble only with the 4X4's?? Our current v10 has been excellent and wifey does not wanted a diesel so that's not a problem.
Thanks guy's

Sounds like a great truck if the price is right. I own a '06 4wd with no problems in the front end, just don't try to run on dry ground with it engaged at speeds above 45. Make sure you get an oasis report. Good luck.

Make sure that you don't get any vibrations/shaking/hopping at various speeds. The driveline vibrations in these trucks can be annoying and practically impossible to fix, even if under warranty.

A short bed dually is more common than a long bad dually? I dont think so. I've never seen one.

I have to agree... a short bed dually is pretty rare and potentially highly desired with a CC configuration.
