Nice Truck,
Looks like a 1500.
Looking for one in the same myself right now.
What did you end up paying for it if you don't mind me asking?
How many miles?
What engine?

Good luck with it! What are your plans for lettering it?

Nice truck it looks like the same truck I had a couple years ago the only problem with mine was it was too nice for a work truck.If something hit it or scratched it,it would really T me off.

No problems,.. I will only be pulling a 5.5X12 single my 1st season. One 36"w/b & pole equip.

maybe later I can find/afford a 3/4t.

if i lived in the southern states and i really cut grass and that was it i would bu all smaller trucks. Just my idea how big of a trailer are you really going to need for the guys to drive. You guys there dont need plows etc...

You can get away with a 1500 down here np but mulch, sod , will really lower the back end.Hauling two ztrs on a good size trailer is hard stoping as well.

Lawns-R-us,

Thanks for the compliments.

When U say "smaller truck" I'm assuming you mean 1/4 vs 3/4.

I see your point and agree. I honestly do not feel I need a bigger truck at this point for where I am and what I do. As part of my decision to buy this truck verses a 3/4t I looked at what the the small local LCO's and what the big corp. branches were driv'n. Most were driv'n 1/4t's. In the end, it came down to "best deal I could find in my area w/the money I had available" This is only my first "starter" truck. As I become more successful, I will prolly buy bigger trucks and bigger equip and bigger trailers Etc.

I am just glad to get it all going!!:D

Now if I could just sell my old car.....
