Other than the junkyard that's the roughest 04+ I've ever seen on the road.

Heh - ad in Spanish, located in Dallas, Austin phone number, and Oklahoma tags?

If it runs good, doesn't need mechanical work, and doesn't have a ton of miles, it's worth the price. It may be dented and the paint may be peeling, but I don't see any obvious rust.

Hey I've seen 04-08s that have been t-boned, paint peeling, bumpers sideways and are still in service...this is nothing for a Mississippi truck. There is a truck in Memphis that the whole passenger rear quarter panel of the bed and bumper are gone from a rear-end impact--but they still use it to get to Kroger and back everyday lol

Pretty much all the 04-08's around here are still in pretty decent shape. There's very few I've seen that have been abused.

It will be interesting to see when the '04-'08 models begin to disappear from the highways. Down here in the Houston area, I've already noticed that the early-90's square bodied trucks are a fairly rare sight out on the road -- about the only ones I see with any regularity are the F-250 and F-350 diesel models.....

I'm going to say those wheels are worth more than the truck.

Plenty of bricknose F-150's around here.

I bet you they end up in "Meheeco" like my old '94 Ranger did. Of course, that was a willing deal, since my dealer-owner friend sold it to a guy who drove it down there...

No hate, but the logos and cowl on my 213k mile broken-in '03 look better than literally ANY 04-08 truck I have ever seen at any dealership as of late. If any disappear, well...who knows...since one has to wonder how easy a 24-valve Triton is to fix down that way and the 5.4L trucks are also literally all I see for sale. If those buyers are into 4.6L swaps/PCM flashes, I guess they'll be gone sooner than later as well.

I still see plenty of 80-86 still being used daily in my area and everything to present day. The pre 1980's are few and far between but still see them out there from time to time. Seen an old 66 fseries body in rough shape going down the road with junk in the bed towing a small flatbed traler.

The roughest I've ever seen was in the Caribbean. I used to live on St John and a contractor buddy of mine had one that had dents like we have straight panels. I imagine it's pure rust at this point.
