Looks as if the guy took really good care of that truck over the years! Really nice condition considering the number of miles!

On a somewhat related note, I was sitting here this morning calculating in my head how much disposable income I would have if I didn't have a kid -- now I'm grumpy!

It's just amazing how much those little buggars cost.... but ya gotta love them

As the older they get then you start throwing in the cost for sports and activities plus the gas to run them around...

I wouldn't change a thing though...I'm just glad I've gotta happy healthly little girl along with my step son...

Yah it's a heavy truck, heavy trailer. I'm happy it pulls it real well. Put 8k + behind a 10th gen and it gets pretty sketchy. Happy with the towjng fuel economy being double digits. Several times I pulled with my 4.6 truck (different trailers) I'd get 9 or 9.5

I agree -- you make that calculation and the next thing you know helicopters are flying overhead and an off-duty police officer is trying to talk you off the ledge of a building......
