Location: Snohomish, Washington (near Seattle)
Price: $17,900 <-- I dropped from $19.5k because I was making concessions for new tires and being flexible on my price a bit. I'd rather publicly announce a lower price if I'd take it than hide that behind DMs
Description: It's a low mileage (77k miles), super clean (see pic), long-bed (8') truck with a fancy suspension and zero issues.
I've maintained this truck like I was never going to sell it, but hey, here we are and it's up for grabs.
Less than 2,000 miles ago I put $11k into it in the name of keeping a perfect truck perfect --> for $7k at my diesel mechanic I had a new FICM, all new Motorcraft injectors, and Motorcraft oil cooler professionally installed... so after that hit I decided it deserved a suspension upgrade and, for $4k, I put in Carli's Backcountry system with Fox external-reservoir shocks, Carli coils to level the front, and their add-a-pack leaf kit for the back so original payload and towing capacities remain intact.
It's an XLT trim truck with cloth seats, the towing and FX4 packages (factory locker), up-fitter switches, a spray in bed-liner in the 8' bed, a B&W turnover-ball gooseneck hitch, LEDs everywhere including the headlights, mirrors from the newer generation trucks, a Sony bluetooth stereo with Kenwood speakers, and Sinister Diesel's EGR-delete kit.
As a 2005, there's no DEF system to worry about, it came from Ford with upgraded head-studs (6.0 liter diesels pre-2005 needed upgraded head-studs, this one did not), and it has coils in the front --not leaf springs-- so it actually is fun to cover rough ground in... super fun now that it has the Carli setup.
This has been a truck to help us build our house with, but for its next life it'd be the perfect platform for you to throw a camper in and go hammer some dirt roads. I doubt I've even warmed up the fancy Fox shocks. Put them to work and you'll love them. It has KO2 tires that're ~34" diameter and are worn enough you wouldn't feel bad about replacing them with 35's. I didn't upgrade the tires after the 2.5" Carli lift, but that's certainly an option for you.
It has a clean title, hasn't been in any accidents, and I own it outright.
