My trailblazer finally left to its new home on Monday night and I decided it was time to look for a legit tow vehicle. Im planning to buy myself a decent sized boat this coming fall and needed a truck up to snuff with towing in the neighborhood of 9000lbs. Really, I wasn't looking to purchase so soon but I came across the deal so I ran with it. Today I stayed home from work because I hurt my back at the gym. I started browsing CL when I woke up, getting an idea what was out there for trucks in the budget I set myself. After a bit i ran across the F2fiddy. It seemed too good to be true for the price but i checked it out anyways. The guy had recently divorced and had used the truck for towing his boat previously, but had downsized boats and was able to tow it with his newer SUV. Right buyer at the right time.
1999 F250, 6.8L Triton V10, 140,000 miles, regular cab, regular bed. Zero options on the truck at all, i think its some sort of work truck package. Cloth, manual everything, cassette player. Perfect for using it only a few times a year to tow a boat, or as a workhorse.
The drivers door has some rust on the bottom inside, otherwise the body is clean. Typical scratches and dents, and the A/C doesn't currently work. I have to diagnose and possibly fix that if its cheap. I am really avoiding spending any money on the truck beyond what is needed to make it safe to tow.
