My wife nicknamed this vehicle the Blue Beast. And it is big! Extra lift, big Nitro Terra Grappler 285/75/R16 tires, 4.11 gearing ratio on the rear transaxle. And when you drive it, you can tell - this baby wants to haul something! The original owner evidently drove it all over Oklahoma hauling cattle or horses. There is a big receiver under the huge bumper with a trailer ball. There is a hide-away gooseneck ball in the bed. There are fifth-wheel rails in the bed. I believe there are five different trailer hitch wiring plugs. Tekonsha Sentinel trailer brake system is installed. In other words, whatever you want to haul, this thing is ready to go. There are two tailgates: the original stock and a fifth-wheel version. It has two gas tanks, both work just fine, as do the gauges. It has a lot of miles on it but according to the previous owner the transmission was replaced within the last couple of years so this thing has a lot of miles left in it. I don't know the entire vehicle history, but I can tell you that a local Ford dealer ran a 27-point inspection on it before I bought it and found no major issues. The windshield will need to be replaced eventually as it has a few long cracks. The starter appears to be fairly new. In case you are wondering, we originally bought this truck to haul a 5th wheel or gooseneck travel trailer. We even went to RV boot camp! Unfortunately we changed our travel plans and no longer need this vehicle. Here is a list of the upgrades and maintenance items I have performed on this truck - just look at all the work I saved you!: Radiator fluid flushed and refilled Oil changed Front brake pads replaced Ball joints lubed All fluids checked and filled Door interior panels removed, all Oklahoma red dust cleaned out Door latch and lock mechanisms cleaned and lubed Wiring repair so that the right-rear automatic window works Replaced front speakers with brand new Infinity Reference component speakers Replaced stock radio with a brand new Kenwood KDC-HD545u High Definition radio with front-facing auxiliary and USB ports, removeable faceplate and remote control Tightened steering column Replaced front seat belt Removed large, heavy old tool box Batteries filled and maintained This is our first time to ever list a vehicle for sale on eBay, so if you need more details or pictures please ask!
