Gotcha! I couldn't see from the pic on my phone below the f150 emblem....and I had flashbacks. LOL.
Not that it isn't a good truck though. Every vehicle has it's issues and that's the one mine had. I must admit I've always been a Chevy guy, but now I don't care much between the 2...As this thing has taken everything I've thrown at it all while pushing 240k.

Again, congrats on the buy! Even though it's more than I'd pay, I realize why you did due to location. It's all about supply and demand, and apparently there's a high one down there. Happy haulin'

I have the 03 the same color but with a 6ft bed and extended cab. love it. I also have the v6. got it with 85000 miles now have 275000. has no rust and have had no major problems with it.

Well, I took in my first load of shred with it today, and it has already suffered it's first battle scar. As I was sliding a treadmill off the back, it decided it was going to pull some kind of crazy acrobatic flip and rammed one of it's legs into the tailgate. :( Great... It left a dent and scratch that is pretty big. Oh well, it was going to happen eventually, but it sucks that it happened on the first week! Anyway, I stuffed in around 900 LBS of tin into the bed. I'm happy I got the long bed, the hauling capacity is awesome!

It has a plastic bed liner on the inside that's practically brand new. I don't think you can rhino line a tailgate.

Up here, any nick, scratch, chip, gouge, or flake is killer! Liyerally...Well...the beginning of a painfully slow death anyways. Unless caught and fixed early, The road salt immediately starts eating the body. My truck I just got, had it two weeks and iv already found rust that just started. Some on the pinch welds and right front fender. Time to wrench.

My old truck was a long box. Was saweeet for hauling shop scrap and curb shopping. Good thing about tailgates is they are real common and easy to replace!

:-o ;(

Beauty met the Beast...

Jord you forget tho...your up there in the great white north. Gravi is in Texas...only has to worry about salt air if on a coast.

An it's got character, not a scratch! ;)
