I've been actively searching for a 6.7 lariat loaded with everything ... buddy just got a 12 250 for $47 w/ almost 30,000 miles on it

I am looking for something around $40 - 42 with like 70 thousand miles on it

Dillon is your 250 lifted? Or just larger tires and new rims ..... looks lifted

yeah I need to put that in the sig. it's got a 4.5 inch lift. I'm about to put 37's and 24's on it next week when my tires come in. it'll be tight but I think they will fit.

just keep looking for a good deal and try to get at least a 2012. the 2011's supposedly have the turbo that's not balanced right. I know of people that have went through several of them under warranty but after 2012 not many people had the problem.

Glad you're going with the 6.7. I'm sure you'll find a good one.

Not yet. Going to keep the warranty intact for now while im putting as many miles as i am and relying on it for work. Ive looked at DPF on tunes but nothing has really caught my interest so much.

Those seem high honestly. I could have gotten a loaded 13 lariat for 48K new when i got mine. didnt want all that otherwise i would have jumped on one of those but very happy with the xlt with all the options still. no camera/leather/MFT are the biggest.

Going to be replacing the toolbox for a different one since im going to add a drag up tank since filling up the stock 26 gal tank every other day if not more is getting really old.

I have the Titan 61 Gallon tank in my truck and love it. It hurts when you can fit $200 bucks in it, but I can get 800miles out of a tank easy if the truck's empty. Not sure how it would affect your warranty though. It is really nice to have full access to my box too.

im getting about 400 right now and with the short bed i want to keep most of my box free so im looking at the rds 35 gal that fits under the toolbox, just not this low pro i have now. Should be able to get about 1000 miles out of the tank and main tank which will get me through the week without fill ups. plus itll ride better with some weight in the bed

She's a beauty but I would never get black I'm looking for Red

I've heard that the 11's were a little iffy .... I'll try for a 12 but there are lots of 11's out there

Thanks Ryan! I really like the layout of the 11+ trucks on the inside

That's what they are going for .... I looked at new and they are in the 60's around here

The '14s were higher ture but around here all you can find used are loaded out trucks with 70K plus on them in the 40's or bare xlt's that were rental trucks. I was down to 44.5k on this one before ttl because it was a remaining 13. and the rest of the 13's were in that are but still pushing 50's

It's not always easy to trust a sale remotely, but if you could save thousands buying elsewhere in the states, a plane ticket can be pretty cheap.

Texas, and the south in general, seems to have trucks for cheaper than up North. I don't understand why y'all gotta pay more for cars that are getting eaten up by rust/salt every day . . . if anything, it should be the other way around.

Jake, what are you doing letting your daughter (I assume she's your daughter?) drive?! That ain't legal I don't understand why a 3/4 ton truck has a smaller tank than my little ole 150.

It's so small due to the def tank which blows. That tank is 5 gallon
