Like new truck. We have sold our RV because we are building a home, and now we are selling the truck since we do not need it. I ran a Carfax which is included here. A few comments.
The Carfax list a minor damage accident. The truck has not been damaged. I was caught in busy construction traffic around Chattanooga, and had to change lanes suddenly when a semi decided to merge whether I was in the way or not. In doing that I forced another car off the road with some minor damage to his vehicle. I turned it into my insurance and it was charged against my truck even though the truck never suffered any damage or made contact with the other vehicle.
I am the original owner. The Carfax lists two owners. We moved from WI to TN, and apparently that counts as two owners. Dumb, very dumb.
It lists a recall outstanding. True, I have been getting notices about this recall for over a year, but the the notice says that there are no parts for the fix. This is nothing to worry about.
Finally, notice that happy little Fox showing it has had regular oil changes. I have followed the manual maintenance specs, even to the point of changing oil by time instead of mileage. I also did the transmission oil change at 30,000 and the transfer and differential fluids.
The Carfax has a link to the original window sticker, but of particular note is the HO Cummins coupled with an Aisin transmission and the 4.10 rear end. It also has the factory air suspension which allows you to level the truck with one button push regardless of payload. This truck is specced to haul and can handle just about anything from a weight perspective. It is the short bed, but we used an Andersen hitch and always had plenty of camper to cab clearance.
And if there are any dog owners, the Mega Cab is fabulous because of the way the seats fold down and create a large flat area in the rear for a dog crate. It is also handy for hauling pieces of furniture out of the rain. I will post pictures soon, but just wanted to get this out there.
One other thing worth mentioning. This model year has the CP3 injection pump not the CP4 of some later models. Those of you that follow such things know the CP4 is the subject of a class action lawsuit for catastrophic failures. Not an issue with this model year.
Also replaced the stock fuel tank with a 51 gallon aftermarket. I usually got around 10-11 mpg with my 303, so could usually drive all day if I really wanted to...I never wanted to.
Located in Crossville, TN
Starting out at $69,900
