2005 Ford F-350 Super Duty Lariat Truck Crew Cab Extra Long Bed

 DESERT AUTOSPORT IS VERY PLEASED TO BRING TO THE MARKETPLACE THIS 2005 FORD F350 CUSTOM CAR HAULER.  THIS IS ONE OF OUR PERSONAL VEHICLES AND PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW OFF THE FRONT LINE OF THE LOCAL FORD DEALER IN JULY 2005.  IT STARTED LIFE AS A STANDARD F350 LARIAT, 2 WHEEL DRIVE CREW CAB DUALLY.  IT IS POWERED BY THE 6.0 LITER POWERSTROKE TURBODIESEL MOTOR AND BACKED BY THE 5 SPEED AUTOMATIC TORQUESHIFT TRANSMISSION.  THE ORIGINAL MSRP ON THIS TRUCK ALONE WAS $46,430.  WE THEN INVESTED ANOTHER $35,000 IN TRANSFORMING IT INTO ONE OF THE NICEST CAR HAULERS YOU WILL EVER SEE. I PRICED OUT THE PACKAGE TO REPLICATE THIS TRUCK TODAY AND IT WOULD COST CLOSE TO $90,000!!!  THIS IS ONE OF MY PRIVATE TRUCKS AND HAS NEVER BEEN DRIVEN BY ANYONE ELSE OTHER THEN ME.  I AM A TOTAL FANATIC AND NOT ONLY WAS NO EXPENSE SPARED IN HAVING IT BUILT, BUT IT HAS BEEN FAITHFULLY SERVICED SINCE DAY ONE WITH ROTELLA OIL AND ALL SYNTHETIC DRIVETRAIN FLUIDS.  WHEN THE TRUCK WAS BRAND NEW, BEFORE IT WAS SENT TO HODGES IN KENTUCKY FOR THE CONVERSION, I UPGRADED THE TRUCK WITH THE FOLLOWING UPGRADES: STOCK LOCATION TRANSFER FLOW 57 GALLON FUEL TANK, B&B FABRICATION TURBO BACK COMPLETE STAINLESS STEEL EXHAUST SYSTEM, AFE STAGE 2 AIR INTAKE, SMOKED BUG GAURD, SMOKED VENT VISOR RAIN GAURDS, SUPERCHIPS POWER PROGRAMMER(ALWAYS LEFT ON TOW SETTING FOR SAFE EGT'S), TINTED WINDOWS, A TOP OF THE LINE ECLIPSE HEAD UNIT WITH TOUCH SCREEN GPS NAVIGATION, DVD PLAYER AND SIRIUS SATELITE RADIO. I RECENTLY PURCHASED THE UPDATED 2008 NAVIGATION DISC AS WELL.  WHEN I SENT THE TRUCK TO HODGES FOR THE CONVERSION, I BASICALLY CHOOSE EVERY AVAILABLE OPTION THEY HAD TO OFFER AND HAD THEM ADD A FEW EXTRA'S THAT THEY CUSTOM DID FOR ME.  THE OPTIONS FROM HODGES ARE AS FOLLOWS:19' BED WITH A DOVE TAIL, 2 EXTRA TOOL BOXES FOR A TOTAL OF 4, FIRESTONE REAR AIRBAG KIT WITH ELECTRIC COMPRESSER AND IN-CAB GAUGE, POLISHED ALUMINUM WINCH COVER, CLIPPED CORNERS, TEXAS RAMPS-EXTRA LONG, EXTENDED T-BAR WITH 4 LIGHTS, RAISED SIDES, SPOT LIGHTS ON T-BAR, 4 LOADING LIGHTS ON DECK, POLISHED ALUMINUM DIAMOND PLATE FLOOR, PIERCE 9,000 LB COMMERCIAL WINCH WITH EXTRA LONG REMOTE, CLASS V HITCH W/ TRAILER PLUG, FRONT AND REAR WHEEL WELL MOULDINGS, BACK UP LIGHTS, 2 ADDITIONAL SIDE LIGHTS, 2 TONE PAINT, RECESSED GAS FILLER CUP, 19' OF RECESSED E-TRACK, 4 RECESSED D-RINGS, COMPLETE L.E.D. LIGHT PACKAGE UPGRADE AND ALUMINUM WHEEL STOPS.  THE TRUCK ITSELF IS A F-350 LARIAT AND ABOVE THE STANDARD LARIAT EQUIPMENT, IT HAS THE FOLLOWING ADDITIONAL FACTORY UPGRADED OPTIONS: 4:10 LIMITED SLIP REAR AXLE, POLISHED TUBULAR CAB STEPS, ADJUSTABLE BRAKE AND GAS PEDALS, REVERSE VEHICLE AID SENSORS, TOW COMMAND SYSTEM WITH INTEGRATED TRAILER BRAKE CONTROLLER, TELESCOPING AND HEATED TOW MIRRORS AND LOWER ACCENT TWO-TONE PAINT.  IT STILL HAS THE REMAINDER OF THE 5 YEAR/100,000 MILE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY.  THE LAST SERVICE WAS DONE AT 45,000 MILES AT THE LOCAL FORD DEALER AND IT HAD AN OIL CHANGE AND FUEL FILTERS REPLACED(THE OIL WAS CHANGED EVERY 5,000 MILES LIKE CLOCKWORK, AIR FILTER SERVICED EVERY 5,000 MILES AND THE FUEL FILTERS EVERY 15,000 MILES) .  YOU WILL NOT FIND A NICER OR BETTER EQUIPPED HAULER FOR SALE ANYWHERE.  THIS MAKES ALL THE CAR GUYS DROOL EVERYWHERE I TAKE IT.  THE MAIN REASON I PURCHASED IT WAS TO DRIVE BACK AND FORTH TO CALIFORNIA TO PICK UP A CAR WITHOUT HAVING TO TOW A TRAILER.  THE SPEED LIMIT DIFFERENCE IS 15 MPH FASTER WITHOUT A TRAILER AND SAVES ALOT OF TIME WHEN YOU DRIVE AN 800-900 MILE ROUND TRIP IN 1 DAY.  OF THE 48,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK, I WOULD SAY THERE ARE THIRTY 1,000 MILE 1 DAY TRIPS FROM SCOTTSDALE, AZ TO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND TEN 800 MILE TRIPS TO LAS VEGAS SO NOT ONLY HAS THIS TRUCK NEVER BEEN EXPOSED TO HARSH WEATHER OF ANY KIND, BUT THEY ARE ALL HIGHWAY MILES.  THIS TRUCK SAILS DOWN THE ROAD AND RIDES LIKE A CADILLAC AT 80 MPH AND GETS BETWEEN 13-16 MPG ALL DAY LONG. IT IS A TURN KEY, READY TO GO ANYWHERE MAKE MONEY NOW TRUCK!!!  THE RAMPS ON THE TRUCK ARE 6 OR 7 FEET LONG AND WHEN USED WITH A PAIR OF EXTENSION RAMPS I HAVE NO TROUBLE LOADING VIPERS, LOWERED CORVETTES OR ANY OTHER SUPER LOW CLEARANCE CARS.  I HAVE HAD EVERYTHING FROM A RACE CAR TO A CREW CAB DUALLY ON THE TRUCK AND IT IS A HEAVY DUTY WORKHORSE.  THE E-TRACK HAS MADE IT POSSIBLE TO SECURE  MOTORCYCLES,QUADS, PALLETS OR OTHER LARGE ODD SHAPED CARGO.  THE WINCH IS VERY POWERFULL AND HAS PULLED CARS UP WITH 4 FLAT TIRES AND DOES NOT EVEN STRUGGLE.  I HAD THE FRONT SUSPENSION UPGRADED TO HANDLE THE EXTRA WEIGHT SO IT DOES NOT HAVE ANY NEGATIVE CAMBER AS THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE NEWER INDEPENDANT FRONT SUSPENSION'S. THE MATCHED CONTINENTAL TIRES HAVE ABOUT 75% REMAINING IN THE FRONTS AND 50% REMAINING IN THE REARS.  IT HAS 2 YELLOW TOP OPTIMA DEEP CYCLE GEL BATTERIES THAT ARE ABOUT 1 YEAR OLD.  SOME OF THE OTHER MISC. EXTRAS ARE NICE CONVEX MIRRORS IN ADDITION TO THE FACTORY MIRRORS THAT WORK AWESOME AND IT IS HARD WIRED FOR A VALENTINE ONE RADAR DETECTOR, BUT I AM TAKING THE ACTUAL RADAR DECTOR WITH ME UNLESS YOU WANT TO PURCHASE IT FROM ME AT REPLACEMENT COST.  I SURE I AM MISSING SOME OTHER COOL AND CUSTOM STUFF THAT I HAVE FORGOTTEN ABOUT.  FOR AN ADDITIONAL $5,000 I WILL SELL THE MATCHING TRAILER THAT I HAD BUILT TO MATCH THE TRUCK.  IT MAKES THIS A 2 CAR HAULER AND THE COOLEST PART IS THAT YOU CAN DRIVE FROM THE TRAILER RIGHT ONTO THE BACK OF THE TRUCK SO LOADING 2 CARS TAKES VERY LITTLE EFFORT AND TIME.  TO REPLICATE THE TRAILER WOULD COST AT LEAST $8,000 DOLLARS ALONE.  IT ALSO HAS ALL LED LIGHTS INCLUDING 4 BUILT IN LIGHTS IN THE FLOOR FOR NIGHT TIME LOADING.  IT HAS RECESSED E-TRACK ALL THE WAY DOWN THE TRAILER AND POLISHED ALUMINUM DECKING JUST LIKE THE TRUCK.  IT HAS A BUILT IN TOOL BOX, 16" ALLOY WHEELS 10 PLY HEAVY DUTY TIRES AND TWIN  3500 LB AXLES AND ELECTRIC BRAKES.  IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE GIVE US A CALL AT 480-894-4004.  FOR MORE INFORMATION ON THIS TRUCK AND TRAILER, GO TO OUR WEBSITE AT WWW.DESERTAUTOSPORT.COM
