    She sure is purty! How much did that cost extra to do add those things. Some of the trucks I looked at had quite a bit added to it but was still quoted around 165k. How long did it take to get it ready for you to take delivery? Did yout buy any extra warranty? I live in Florida, so if I fly all the way over there I want to make sure it's a good deal. Don't want to have to fly back and forth.

    Am I reading that right. 486,000 mi on a 2020 (9346 mi per week)? Seems like a lot of mileage for a 2020 in one year? However it was Overhauled...Turbo looks discolored as though its worn (not properly warning up/shutdowns cause turbo issues just a note..not saying anything is wrong with that turbo though) other than that it's a beautiful truck imo.

    Good observation, maybe they meant mileage on the engine. My only thing is idling in states like NJ that don't allow trucks that do not have DEF/DPF installed to idle.

    Yes, this would limit the truck from certain states which will affect income as a O/O. Best to buy Brand new full warranty for piece of mind.

    That's the route I would like to go. Brand new, full warranty, then trade it in right before the warranty expires just like the mega carriers. Lol

    I paid over $170k but remember this year is definitely a buyers market with how the economy has been, so prices have dropped.

    I stayed in a hotel waiting for my truck. Showed up on Monday believe I rolled out Friday afternoon.
