The Market is Flooded with Compromises. This Isn't One of Them.
Factory Luxury Meets Uncompromised Capability
As validated by the original $74,355 window sticker, this isn't a base-model work truck. This F-250 left the factory fully loaded with the highly coveted Lariat Ultimate Package and Tow Technology Bundle. Wrapped in stunning White Platinum Metallic Tri-Coat with Magnetic accents, the cabin is a rolling command center. It features pristine black leather, 10-way heated and cooled front seats, a panoramic sunroof, Sony Premium Audio, and Adaptive Cruise Control. For the tower, the Quad-Beam LED headlamps, BLIS (Blind Spot Monitoring), and the Ultimate Trailer Tow 360-degree camera system make hauling a 5th wheel across the country utterly effortless.
The Aftermarket Arsenal: Bulletproofed & Dialed
If you know the 6.7L Power Stroke, you know the Achilles heel is the factory CP4 fuel pump. This truck has been professionally safeguarded with the industry gold standard: an S&S Diesel Disaster Prevention Kit (DPK), permanently protecting the fuel system. Beyond reliability, the engine breathes effortlessly thanks to a 2024 Ford CCV upgrade, a custom exhaust, and an EZ Lynk programmer for optimized, cool-running power. Underneath, the harsh factory ride has been completely transformed. A $2,200 investment into a Carli Heavy-Duty Trackbar, Progressive front springs, Fox front shocks, and Bilstein 5100 rears ensures this truck rides like a luxury SUV on the highway while remaining 100% stable under a heavy payload.
Obsessively Maintained & Turn-Key Ready
Clocking in at 163,000 predominantly highway miles, this F-250 has been treated with the respect a premium diesel demands. The bed is heavily armored with a Line-X spray-in liner, factory 5th-wheel prep pucks, and a premium Roll-N-Lock retractable aluminum cover to keep your gear secure and dry. The interior has been shielded by WeatherTech mats since day one, resulting in a cabin that looks like it has a fraction of the mileage. There are no fluid leaks, no dashboard warning lights, and no mechanical excuses. The hard work is done, the thousands of dollars in upgrades are paid for, and the title is in hand. Your only job is to turn the key.
The "Honest Truck" Guarantee: Zero Surprises
I take immense pride in my vehicles, and my goal is a smooth, transparent transaction. This is a highly capable, driven truck, not a showroom paperweight. To save us both time, here is exactly what you will find upon inspection:
- Minor Rock Chips: Normal, minor pitting on the front lower air dam/chrome bumper from highway driving.
- Driver's Seat: Extremely light, typical creasing on the outer driver's side leather bolster (impressively minimal for 163k miles, zero tears or rips).
- Interior Plastics: Standard, minor scuffs on the lower door panel plastics from boots entering/exiting the vehicle.
Buyer FAQs
Has the CP4 fuel pump issue been addressed?
Yes. This is the most important upgrade on this truck. It features a professionally installed S&S Diesel Motorsport Disaster Prevention Kit (DPK). If the factory CP4 pump ever fails, this kit prevents metal shavings from destroying the injectors and entire fuel system, saving you a $10,000+ repair bill.
Does the truck have the dreaded "Death Wobble"?
Absolutely not. The solid front axle on Super Duties is notorious for death wobble, which is why this truck was upgraded with a heavy-duty Carli Trackbar and premium Fox/Bilstein shocks. The steering is incredibly tight, tracked perfectly straight, and is completely vibration-free at highway speeds.
How does the truck ride with the 35-inch tires and lift?
Better than stock. The Progressive-rate front springs and Fox/Bilstein shock combo soften the harsh, unloaded factory ride. The 35" Nitto Ridge Grapplers were specifically chosen because they offer aggressive traction without the droning highway road noise of a typical mud tire.
Is the truck ready for a 5th wheel or gooseneck?
100%. It features the factory 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Hitch Prep Package (the under-bed puck system), a 7-pin connector in the bed, and the Ultimate Trailer Tow 360-camera system to make hooking up a one-person job.
Why are you selling it for $3,000 under KBB if it has $11k in upgrades?
I am pricing this for a streamlined, no-BS private sale to a serious buyer. I know the value of the S&S DPK, the Carli parts, and the Lariat Ultimate package, and I want this truck to go to someone who appreciates a dialed-in build without haggling.
