Nice truck but the price seems a little high. Looking in NADA the price should be closer to 20k. For that price it should be a 2006 in my opinion. There are some 2006 in the classifieds, look in the upper left under the truck.

That price is pretty high. Sure it has 33,000 miles on it but you could have an 06' for that price as stated above. just my .02 Goodluck.

yea,it does seem high going by nada.but, i guess it depends on what book they use.i ran it on kelly and it's $25,575.ran it on nada and it's just a little over 20k.iv'e been told most dealers use nada.iv'e bought and sold alot of rigs over the years,new and used.so,i'm sure i can get them to come down.i haven't even tried yet.that's just a starting point.i want a low milage, long bed 4x4 automatic.any issue's with the 04's ? i know a couple guy's at work have had to replace transfer cases.but i'm not sure what year they were.

Nice truck but it does seem overpriced. I paid $11K for my 04 but mine does have a few more miles on it, but mines been leveled, and had some bling put onit. It it an 04 or 04.5? (what's than manufacture date?)

good one ! i haven't posted a link on here since 2002.i can't figure out how to do it any other way.i have no way of knowing the manufacture date.unless you can tell off the vin which is in the link.i take it there's a difference of some kind between the two?

heavyboostin........06's with 40 k are pushin 28 to 30k out here.

remember,that's just a starting point.it doesn't mean i would pay that much for it.that's the last step.at this point i'm just more concerned about wether there's anything to look out for or known issue's with this year.

the 04.5 will have a cat converter and will be rated for something like 325 hp and the 04 will have no cat and 315 hp. I believe the mfg date for 04.5 started July 04. I got the 04 so i don't need to worry about a missing cat. 10 hp aint conna make much difference. I'll put a lawnmower in back if I need 10 more hp.
