I'm in Houston this week shopping for a truck and I need some help deciding.


I'm leaning towards this one. Its showroom condition, low miles, and not a scratch on it. Price is a little high, but below blue book value.

I drove this one. Didn't see any problems with it. rides nice, and its quiet.

I looked at this one, but didn't drive it. Its a decent price, but I'd have to drop another 2 grand on it to delete the emissions equipment.

I'm looking for a few opinions to help me decide.

Also, Is there a difference between the 06, and early 07 5.9 trucks? They look the same.

Thanks

 

That first one is a little strange. It has the power pedals and the infiniti audio package, but steel wheels. It also has the ashtray, so it might have been a smoker's truck. I would have a hard time paying $30K for it, I looked at an almost identical truck in 2008 for $27K. The low miles might make it worth the extra money. Look under the bedliner for holes from a 5th wheel hitch.

Second truck looks good, but I found that center console was not comfortable for me, and I prefer the flame red. Hard shell means the truck probably wasn't used for heavy towing.

Third truck looks OK, but I don't care for the wheels. Tires don't appear to have that much tread and will cost $1300 to replace.

Fourth truck, looks like a lower end package (black trim on top of the bumper). Having recently test driven a 2008 2wd for a friend of mine, I have to say that the 6.7 engine with the 68RFE is a faster and quieter truck than my 5.9 with the 48RE.

Of the four, if everything else looked good I'd probably go for #1 based on the miles.

2006 and early 2007 5.9 are the same.

 

You can have that bed cover if I go with that one.

The first truck has AZ tags, so Maybe you've seen it on the road.

Thanks for the help

 

AZ sun is hard on paint, but there shouldn't be any rust or corrosion. AZ, like TX is a large state, so chances are slim I'd pass it on the road. Of all the trucks I've sold here I've only come across one on the road.

Thanks for the offer on the cover, I've already got one and love the secure storage.
