Life changes necessitate selling our tow rig. We're trying to consolidate, so the only trades I'm interested in would be a GM half ton truck. Cash could go either direction depending. I'd also take a flat bed trailer worth under $2k as partial trade.

Here are the details, good bad and ugly:
  • 130k miles
  • It was a work truck, maintained as a fleet vehicle but also used as a work truck, and it shows
  • Custom built extension, built around 112" wheelbase, +/- a few inches should work. Serious buyer could bring over their rig for test fitting
  • 6.0L LY6, low maintenance, cheap to replace, not great mileage (7-8 when loaded with toyhauler, 8-10 when just jeep, never driven it empty)
  • 50 gallon gas tanks, it only hurts once in a great while ;)
  • WT Cab and Chassis model - floor and interior are super easy to clean
  • Extended cab, fits 2 rear facing car seats :D
  • Air bags not currently functional, have new ones to go with it
  • Brand new Maxxis Bravo tires (6) on KMC Rockstar wheels

There are a lot of opinions out there about hauling a rig like this. I did all the research prior to purchase, and I am confident I have always been within my legal right to haul this way. I also confirmed with my insurance company that they would cover this in an accident (Geico). More importantly, I never felt that this was unsafe. I always had plenty of breaking power and always felt in control. That said, I rarely exceeded 60mph. Gas motor was fine, I never really cared for more power, even fully loaded. Our Jeep weighs about the same as some of the bigger slide in truck campers, some of which people haul on SRW trucks and no one bats an eye at.

I'd like to sell it as a crawler hauler, but will likely end up listing it on ksl in a few days as a work truck :(

That's not it, I don't mind the extended cab. The car seats fit pretty well back there. I haven't ruled out the extended cab for the truck that will replace this one.
 
If my girlfriend wasn't driving my truck right now, I'd be all over this. If it's still around in a while, I've got a half ton Chevy to trade ya. Good luck with the sale! Hopefully it's gone before I'm in the situation to get myself in trouble. ;]
 
He has already put Rockstars (fits his rockstar lifestyle :)) on it... Pulled it together nicely.... And I am jealous! :D
