Well went to check it out today and the extended cab was just too small and it looked like it had been offroad ALOT in its short 12k mile lifespan so I passed... I've decided to just go try and get a new F150 crewcab tomorrow. It looks like Planet Ford has some sweet deals on some ecoboosts right now.

I am going to add some info. I am guessing my aftermarket 20" tires are 33-34". no lift. I run the **** out out of this truck. I am that guy that runs 80-90 plus in a 75. Depending on load and which trailer I am pulling I run it 80-90. This is on open interstate. In these scenarios I am pulling tractors,trucks on a 20' GN with 14 plies. Running 12k or so, you are in 5th,after the tune the gear hunting stopped and it pulls good with moderate gear hunt. Heaviest to date was a 45'-rv triple axle, triple slide ,18k on an 80 mile pull to buddies lease RV to his lease. I was in the 8-9mpg at 65 mph. When I was pricing trucks, I could buy 2 of these for 1 diesel. We also run these at our company and average mid to hi 200,000 before trading in. Good luck on your chince

I bought mine from Jeremy Lundsford at Bill Fick.
Super nice guy and easy to deal with.

As much as i like our 3/4 Ton gasser, it would probably have been better to buy the diesel in the first place. I have a 2014 Ram with a 5.7 Hemi. It tows decent but i find it to be under powered pulling my 20 ft gooseneck with two horses in it. Plus the gas models dont have squat for resale value. Mine only has 22K miles on it and i can barely squeeze 20K trade in no matter who i talk with. It has its place, but it isnt for us and i regret it actually. Chalk this one up to a learning experience.
