It's always cheaper when you just buy the front half.

Do you get to buy it after 2 years of light work service? Might as well drop a turnover ball in when you make the bed, add a hitch and ready to tow Turbs Columbus 😀

We just picked up a new F350 with an 11 ft Schlezi service bed a lift gate for right about $49k out the door. Only "frill" it has is Bluetooth but it was still a very nice truck. My service mechanic was over the moon.

Nice pick up Turbs, looks sharp

Good looking work ride, should represent the business well. Gonna have to stay on top of cleaning that bed to keep it looking so good.

SWEET!

But I don't think the fence in that bed is high enough to keep the dog from jumping out.....
