Selling our pickup due to possible relocation overseas

Has been reliably used for two functions for the last few years.

1. Hauling anything and everything from Home Depot or Lowes to our house.

2. Hauling anything and everything from our house to the local dump

We purchased the truck up in MA (on Ebay) specifically to cut down on costs of renting a dumpster or paying for material delivery during the last few years of construction on our house.

The truck is reliable, starts up after a couple of pumps of the gas pedal and has a very new battery (last year) to make sure there is plenty of cranking power.

The rear leaf spring supports have been professionally replaced, as have the power steering hoses. We also had some electrical issues resolved after we purchased it.

The engine does not burn any oil, and oil is changed once a year since we only drive a couple of hundred miles locally each year.

The truck was recently inspected and did not require any repairs but there was a recommendation of new tires soon.

Since the inspection we have a new crack in the windshield a few inches long from a stone chip, will need to be replaced next year before inspection.

The body is not in the best of shape, at some point someone re-sprayed the roof and hood and its looking pretty bad with a light haze of surface rust coming through. Its looked like this since we bought it and does not appear to be getting worse. Since its from further up north there is probably more corrosion underneath and on the wheel arches than you would typically find in New York.

We did not buy the truck for appearances, just for functionality.

Since then we have added some dings, dents, scratches and a nasty bash in the side from a gas station barrier (see picture) but none affect the functionality of the truck.

The A/C has not worked since we have owned it, the radio is terrible with a buzzy speaker so bring your own ipod. On a positive note there is a dual cup holder that can hold fairly big drinks and a nice big arm rest.

There is no rear bumper, its not required for inspection and was absent when we purchased it.

If you are looking for a functional and reliable truck with a FULL 8 FOOT BED with hard wearing bed liner then this is the truck for you, it has saved us thousands of dollars in dumpster fees and delivery fees and paid for itself 5 time over.

If you are looking for a fixer upper to re-spray then this is not for you, its all about functionality and not looks.

 

EDIT:  Additional note, the carfax thing seems to have an accident reported incorrectly. The truck has never left Long Island since we registered it in mid 2007 so its obviously incorrect and has not been in an accident.  Its never been to Wallingford, CT.
