I think I’ve found a replacement truck so I’m posting this up only on here at the moment to see if anyone is interested. If not I’ll just be a trade in, but for the amount of work that’s been done to keep this thing in great shape it would be a shame to just see it go to someone who won’t appreciate it. And if you know me you know how well I take care of my stuff. I’ve had it for nearly 10 years and on balance it’s been an amazing vehicle. It’s got about 252k miles on it and I can honestly say 80% at least are highway miles. In the snow or bad weather it’s unstoppable. Black Forest has done nearly all of the maintenance work.
The Good:
Nearly mint interior
Lots of new parts…
New fog lights
New front corner lights
New coolant expansion tank
… too many to list off the top of my head
All maintenance records & parts receipts
Tires have lots of tread left (See this thread: http://www.nyspeed.com/showthread.php?237678 )
Comes with stock floor mats & floor liners
Comes with IID Scan Tool to diagnose any issues, edit ECUs, etc.
Driver & passenger front air suspension has lifetime warranty :tup:
Has tow package
Updated GPS DVD
The Bad:
Leaks oil, but I’ve been driving it like this for years and it hasn’t given me problems.
Driver’s door lock needs to be manually locked. Black Forest recently installed a new actuator but it only worked for a day. There is likely a wire short somewhere.
There’s a little rust on the rear hatch, but the truck comes with paint so just cover it up :tup:
No detailed pics at the moment so I’m just going to put some placeholder Instagram pics here for the time being. It’s hard to tell but the color is Adriatic Blue with white interior. The seats have blue piping and the truck has cherry wood accents:
Part of the reason for that is that they don’t change the design for 10 years, they just slightly change the styling. So at a glace it looks the same as a 2012.
I traded it in yesterday BUT they’re just sending it to auction. I only took $3,000 for it so if you do decide you want it I can put you in contact with the sales manager and I’m sure they can work something out. They were stunned with the mileage and even the auction guy couldn’t believe it. I think the highest mileage they’ve seen at auction is 150,xxx, lol. Let me know.
Pictures for thread continuity. She was a trustworthy steed:
Eh at least i knew enough to pay him the taxes…but I dont think even applies if he didnt trade the truck towards a vehicle. In that case i would give him $3k and gladly had fun laying rubber while goin to check out cars.
lol, yep! I did trade it in. I honestly thought I’d get less then that on trade because of the milage. I’m sure someone here with black book access can confirm pricing of what’s out there.

This was it for me. I bought out of state, so one trip and done.
I was going to ask if it ever went away. But didn’t want to clutter your FS thread. I didn’t see it mentioned. Good to know you had a little bit of quite driving
