Very nice truck. However, what is going to kill you on selling this, is that it has that gas engine. If this truck had a diesel in it, it would sell fast, probably for near your asking price. The gas engine is a dealbreaker for most folks who want a truck that size. That would be one heck of a truck with the Duramax in it, or even with the little Cat 3116 or 3126 engine.

Have you put it on Craigslist, or in your local newspaper?? I have never had much luck selling large ticket items on this forum. A lot of tire kickers here, but not much money in hand.
Good luck with your sale.

Thank you. IDK enough about diesel vs gas engines to really argue your point, so I won't. I do know diesel has been more expensive than gas for quite some time. With the tranny in this truck, power to tow or haul should be no issue. As far as diesel engines lasting longer, that's true, but this truck only has 21,000 miles on it so it should be good for many many more years. Anyway, gas or diesel, someone looking to grow there fleet would get a super versatile truck with low miles.

No problem, seems like these kinds of trucks were set up in so many different configurations, it's hard to get a side by side comparison.

Yeah, it's on Craigslist, not paper though. I know it's a lot of money for anyone to spend, but I'm trying. Thanks for the comments.

Guys, how many times do you see trucks like this come along? You don't have to do anything to this truck...no new tires, no new paint, no doing bodywork, no fixing the engine, no fixing the transmission. This truck can do so many things a 1 ton just can't. It's been so well preserved, and trust me, that wasn't easy.
