an '06 with 120K AND they want 17.5? forget it.
Well, find one like it for cheaper... I haven't been able to. Even Edmonds agrees on the price.

I passed on it any way. They said someone else was interested and they were coming in this morning, so I just said "maybe they want it more." Just found a 2009 TRD Sport long bed on Craigslist with 25K miles loaded. He wants $27k for it, and Edmonds agrees with that too... The search continues. :clue:

KBB says mine is worth $23k+. And I didn't lie about the condition.
I paid under $25k 4 years ago, brand new.

That's why I bought new.

But you're also making a good point. Used models are almost the same price if the mileage is under 50K here. Problem is, I can't afford anything over 30K right now; which is what the new pricing is in my area. Price difference on that one I found for 27K is 6 grand!!! (Yeah, exact model new is 33K)

You open to buying in Idaho or Utah? Some quick searches pulled up some things.

Well it's been a few months now and I'm stoked. The truck is serving me well in more ways than one. Coming off a little 2wd standard cab I drove for 13 years, it's like I'm heaven...

Pros: Space, power, comfort.
Cons: Mileage.

There's a couple things I'm going to do to help mileage, but the biggest problem is just my habits. It's got so much more power than I'm used to that my right foot likes to smashy pedal.

Did a few things to spruce her up. CBI Offroad rear bumper, Wet Okole seat covers, Weathertech floor liners, and some new tires. (BFG AT/KO 265/75/16)

I inspected mine myself, and noticed a tiny bit of surface rust. Vehicles in our area don't have many rust problems, so I'm not really worried. I've heard of trucks like mine that leave piles of brown dust on the ground if you hit the frame with a hammer... :eek:

they did. i won't argue with another roll of the dice for a warranty.
update: now what they're doing is reinspecting. if it fails, i get the buyback, if it passes, they recoat the frame.

FWIW i did a quick visual, definitely a lot of rust, but from where i looked, no perforations :(
