Vehicles are lousy investments, Unfortunately with anything used car, truck, houses, pets, you are at the mercy of the former owners and drivers. If the truck was well maintained, and has over 300,000 miles on it mileage wise there are two ways to look at it. 1) Good The truck is young middle...

Is it an on the lot dealer upgrade or did you sit down with an actual truck builder? My concern, is mechanical brakes steering and chassis being up to the task. 26,000 is at the top of the capacity. The dealer wont get your back if there is a problem. Remember DOT will look at not only your...
