A couple of us do Government work in Louisiana/Texas 5-6 times a year and we are always looking at trucks on line. Two of us have a Cummins and the other guy wants one. Well, we located what looked like a pretty nice truck that was just added to a dealers website in Houston. I convinced the guy that wants a truck to drive two hours and take a look. He brought it home. It's beautiful. 2004 one owner Texas truck with only 77k miles. 4X4 Laramie with perfect leather and not a mark on the carpet. a couple of small scratches and zero rust. It was added to their website yesterday and bought today for $22K. Here's his new baby. I'm jealous.
I think 22 (while crazy) is not a bad current price. I bought my '05 about a year and a half ago at 95K miles for 20k... Now I know folks will say they can find them cheaper.. Not around here you wouldn't.. I have looked and looked.
I see that you are 10th SF Ret. I didn't go to the Q-course, but I was Airborne stationed in 1st Bn 10th SF for 2.5 years when it was forward deployed in Bad Tolz, Germany and 2nd and 3rd were back in Devens. When were you in? Thanks for your service too, BTW.
Thanks for all the kind words on "Ol Blue". I enjoy the 22 mpg hwy and 16.5 while towing the camper.
My bud looked at quite a few 3rd gens before picking his up. 22k is a lot of money but totally rust free low mileage 5.9s are getting kinda tuff to find. Hell Id take his truck over most 6.7s made.
I left 10th group in 04. Thanks for your service as well.
wait 22k is a great price for a 3rd that is that low mileage! the prices on these trucks are nuts right now so given the current market, your friend did very well!
don't trade him for your 1gen though, that thing is mint!
Yeah, Ill stick with my 2wd 1st gen too. I feel like they're generally in a lot better shape than most of the 4wd trucks out there that got used hard.
Ive seen yours on the forums a few times now and its a very very nice truck! I love the color.
