I had been mildly searching around for a serious tow vehicle that could tow my sailboat (22 ft Hunter)with ease over mountains, etc. possibly down o the Keys at some point, but really didn’t think I’d find anything so quickly. Stars aligned and a day before my 47h birthday I bought this one owner crew max from Texas.

This was for sale at an equipment dealership an hour and a half away from where I live. The story goes he bought it at auction from a farmer in Texas that was retiring along with a couple other domestic trucks. It was treated like a truck, has some dents and dings here and there from use and hail, 145,000 miles.

I lifted her up to take a look underneath and it’s really hard to believe this is a 2011.

I plan to monitor maintenance and mods with this thread and I’ll now have a daily driver while I continue to upgrade my 98 100 series.

Looks clean. I'd get some used factory wheels on that truck ASAP... them dollar-tree specials look....underwhelming :)
I've been sipping coffee this morning and searching for some.....can't stand the chrome look. They have new no name cheap tires on them from walmart or something. I'm not in a hurry though, I'll wait until a good deal comes along.
 
Passenger tail light had a crack and was missing a chip out of the upper red section. Replaced with identical unit from HeadlightsDepot, very nice replacement. Came with new harness and bulbs. Little pricey but high quality from Taiwan.
