Bought a "New" truck

So I stumbled across a 2011 F250 XLT Power Stroke that only had 14,012 miles on it. Ended up trading my 2010 GMC 1/2 ton in on it (has 106k on it). Truck comes with a 6 year/100,000 mile extended warranty and 4 brand new tires (I get to keep the ones on it). Dealer gave me a price I just could not walk away from!

Pick it up Tuesday afternoon. Pretty sure I won't hardly know my Toy Hauler is behind it!

Holy crap, did you luck out!! No miles on that thing!! Good thing you have something to pull. Those engines need to be worked.
 
Keystone, That should handle it well. I pull a 37' 5th wheel toy hauler behind my 2014 F250 Superduty and it handles it well. Just did 3600 miles from ND to Texas Hill Country and back in January.

Picked my truck up this afternoon. Told them I would be there around 2:30. I arrived at 2:25. Part of the sale was to put 4 new tires on it that I wanted and I was keeping the ones on it as they only had 14k on them. So I walk into the finance office, go through the paperwork etc. Then I had to wait about 10 minutes for my sales guy to show. So it is now about 3:00. He tells me that they just started putting the tires on. Takes them an hour to mount and balance the 4 tires. Then I find out that they decided that cleaning and fueling the truck could wait until after the tires were put on. So it's almost 5 pm before they have my truck ready for me to depart. And they acted as if I was trying to rush them. Pretty sure I wall get one of those surveys in the mail soon. Brenengen Ford in Sparta, WI might not like what I have to say. I know sales folks and dealerships can get busy. but when someone gives you a heads up on Saturday that you will be picking it up on Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 you could at least have it ready when they get there. I can excuse the tires. They had to order them. But not cleaning and fueling it....

Really like the truck though. Averaged 17.3 mpg on the way home bucking a wind and pulling hills.
 
Sweet rigs indeedThumbUp
Is the trailer a "toy hauler" built in as well?

Work and Play Ultra LE 25CB Toyhauler. They build them on cargo trailer frames instead of travel trailer frames. Small kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. Open inside to accommodate allot of wheels.
