X Truck

well i purchased mine in 06 with 18K miles, so i did pay some cash for mine (but not that bad).. right now is the right time to pick these up.. the Limited package with the 05 body style has the black out kit.. the grill looks great all blacked out..

as for the ride.. YES they ride great but don't forget they are about 8,000lbs 1TON truck.. mine has the 3.73 gears so i can tow up to 11,000lbs.. standard 3.55 can tow around 8500 to 9000..


DAM PRETTY MUCH YOU X IS STILL NEW I THINK ILL BE FINE WITH 9000LBS IF ANYTHING ITS JUST GOING TO TOW CARS AROUND. ONE THING I DON'T LIKE WHEN I BOUGHT IT IS THE BLACK OUT TAILLIGHTS PAINT LOOKS LIKE SH1T SISTER LAW SON DID THAT TO IT ANYONE GOT ANY IDEAS HOW TO REMOVE THE BLACK LAYER PAINT.

IF DON'T MIND HOW MUCH YOU END UP PAYING FOR YOURS.

$20K with taxes and tags.. i was pricing out 6.0 turbo with the same miles and they were pulling in low 40's at the time :eek: .. i looked at the savings and it would take 13 years for that price differance to break even..

best bet would be to surf the frod truck forum and find someone selling a set..
 
NOT BAD I GUESS ALL I HAVE TO DO IS KEEP MY EYES OFF THE GAS GUAGE I WENT FROM A 4 CLY TOYOTA TO A V10.:eek:

i was just making a comment to my wife today.. i noticed that, even with this little lift, it has made a differance in MPG.. i'm seeing about 1 1/2 to 2 miles less.. glad i didn't do a 6in lift with 38 tires.. i would be looking at 5 to 6 mpg LOL..
 
i have the Gibson Cat back system.. i also did the Y pipe mod by having someone make me a new one.. a chip is not worth the money..

the Gibson is a nice sound.. not that loud even under gas.. V10's don't sound that great LOL..

hooked the boat up for a night cruz, and the truck didn't even drop.. my stock shocks must have been shot...

I'll tell you what these things cruise nice on the highway and you have to watch your speed because they do not feel like they are going as fast as you are.My wife was driving for a little while and the speed limit was 75 and I told her to look at the speed and she said wow. Handled good through the mountains in Colorado and the s-turns down the mountains handled good. And Averaged 10.4 mpg at 75 mph.
