Been looking for some time now and this seems to be a good deal for me.....keep in mind this is California. The one sacrifice I'm making is I wanted a long bed but since this comes with a snug-top camper shell witch I wanted anyways. I think I may pull the trigger after a little negotiating. And since it's not the trd off road witch i told my self would be the only way I would get a short bed. If I buy this ill put an arb locker in it and call that close enough. I'm going to see it Saturday morning. What do you guys think

 

Looks good.

 

Looks nice. Price seems ok. Id haggle a little if you can. besides that, id need to see the underside, engine compartment, ect but since its a 2010, im sure it all looks great.

 

Looks like a super nice truck! But if you want my honest opinion, I'd keep looking. Get the long box you want! Don't think about it as "good enough" because later down the road you might regret it. I know they're hard to find, but if you look long enough the right truck will fall into place

 

I know but I keep thinking what's 12 inches. The truck sits in my drive way 75 % of the time I have a 16' car hauling trailer and brother and law and dad have several long bed f250 if needed. Some times what you want and what you get don't always match up. And buying used and wanting it for a low price you can't always get all your wants in there

 

Depends what you're doing with the 12 inches (let the jokes begin). You said you're happy it's got a shell right? Do you just want that to keep stuff secure, or did you want to camp/sleep in it and close yourself in? You'll be regretting the sb real quick if you intend to sleep in it closed. If not, good luck buying and enjoy it!

 

No don't plan to sleep in have a tent cot and yes I wanted the shell to lock things up and for my big dog to have some shade or keep my things dry

 

I still can't believe the resale values on these trucks. Wow.

 

Tell me about it

 

Looks like a nice truck. I miss the gauge design from my 09, orange numbers and 10 mph intervals, with 20 mph intervals on my 13 it's taking a while to adapt and track my speed at a glance, a small thing but annoying. Price seems pretty fair in my opinion.

 

I think the mileage is a tad high for being a little over 4 years old otherwise looks good, especially the price

 

He is a military man and he drives over an hour each way to work. 5 days a week that's why he is selling to get a commuter

 

Tough crowd. I had a DCLB Sport a year older (2009), more miles (86K), that I drove in midwestern salt and slop for 4.5 years that had an insurance value of $24K ($25K with sales tax) when I totalled it last month. If the underside of your 2010 is as clean as the topside it's worth $23K IMHO, if you move the price down to 22 that's a deal worth jumping on.
I had a topper and now am shopping for one again, they seem like they're as hard to come by as the trucks (unless you pay top dollar for new).
PS. I'm not related to or know the seller.

 

Haha thanks guys. Yeah these trucks are so over priced in California. But this one seems like a fair deal

 

What's your budget? Not local, but I thought of this thread when I saw this. Tastefully modded and with less miles.

This. Buy the exact truck you want, or down the road you'll regret it. I've made the 'it's good enough' buy before and it was a bad decision. Have patience, and you will find what you want.

 

I thought the same thing about the speedometer on my 13'. After a little more than a year and having time to adapt, I think I actually like it better now.

 

im not sure that im settling but i think im still going to buy

 

i love the Timberland Mica! best color ever for Taco.

 

my trd short bed with amp bed extender has been great. Also easier to park
