    Don't be in such a rush that you knowingly buy a truck that is going to get less than desirable MPG. Haste makes waste. It looks like a nice truck, but the fuel bill is probably going to be ugly.

    you also need to see what rears and tires it has, If your hauling close to 80k with the truck specd correctly and not running it hard you might get lucky and see 6 mpg. if that truck has 370 and some lp 22.5 you might never see 5 if you drive the speed limit

    Don't hate me Buddy but this is how I roll:

    Seller has no paperwork on the inframe ? Then it didn't happen. Don't care how it sounds or looks, didn't happen. Black and white.

    Pretty truck tho, well spec'ed .

    your call,

    good luck

    A 12.7 series 60 will most definately get better fuel than that that sounds kind of expensive being that they don't have any paperwork and all

    At that price, walk away. Especially since there's no inframe paperwork.
