50K all highway towing miles. The previous owner raced motorcross and went from event to event. All service records, apparently if he was on the road and a service came due he pulled in and got it done. Religiously. It is meticulously maintained and it shows. Hell its got a tan interior that still looks new. No stains nothing. It looks like a new truck. I am happy with it.

The Raptor is a joke to me, it looks kind of cool but its useless as a tow rig and as a truck. Just my opinion man no offense. I wanted a truck that could do some work and off roading wasn't a high priority. That it can do it is cool and it will be used but I am not going to Moab so I don't need extreme capability.

great looking truck.. After watching Top Truck Challenge 09, i want a powerstroke. have you ever heard a straight piped powerstroke bouncing off the rev limiter? it sounds like the world is ending.
That's a very nice truck! It looks super clean too.

Yea when it comes to trucks, Ford are seriously the only way to go. My friend has a Dodge megacab and we took a 3hr trip in it and my back was not feeling so well. My 13 year old trucks comfort level is a lot higher then his 2008 dodge.
Im likin the truck man! Stacks are legit, but when its a working truck, they are not always plausible since they take up space and get hot. My truck has a flat bed on it and i am going to route the exhaust above the bed and to the side with a 5" pipe, so people with there windows open get a nice mouthful of diesel haha

Agreed. From a roll most modded diesels fall on there face. Raced more than a few who killed every mesquito for miles around behind us, but they never were even a challenge... from a 60-70mph roll. What does your average high 12 second deisel trap, 95mph? 9mph??

Yea apparently the Spartan stuff is the way to go. Sounds like a nice setup. I doubt that I could get the truck as fast as the TA without doing some serious work. Not that the TA was ridiculously fast but still thats a heavy *** truck.

Nice truck bro...Now I know this is gonna sound funny, but I had an 02' F250 Powerstroke. That thing was the biggest piece of ****. 2 turbos and a head gasket in 60,000 miles. I was so pissed I dumped it in 05' and bought a GMC 2500 with a Duramax...Never had a problem with the Duramax.
