Is the BFH under the hood a bad sign?

That should make the "Funny Craigs Pitcher" thread. Like the one I had of a can of Olympia beer in the console of the mid '90's Camaro Z28, it's not going to improve the sales prospects... laugh

Even better it's the only picture and there's a finger in the picture.  I don't to talk.  I'm the laziest CL seller ever.

I actually have some nibbles, but no bites. Fixed my craigslist photo fail today! BFO-Hammer picture is no longer the primary photo, though it won't let me delete it....

I'm in a prolonged craigslist, craigsoff with a particular buyer, but so far no real bites! You know you need it! It can take 4x8 plywood flat!

Those look like some hard 106k miles.

Ha! Time wasn't nice to the exterior - engine runs well from all I can tell. I've driven it to/from FL without a problem, etc. Apparently the older gent that owned it before the guy I got it from wasn't great at looking where he was going... 

Though it's heading to 20 years old at this point, so not a new truck for sure!

How does a seat get like that in such a small amount of miles? My 175k mile Sienna seats look perfect, and they've had kids sitting in them most of the time.

It's the stock ride height. You sit INTO a sienna (my g-ma has one) - you climb into an Excurions. This thing is super high up. You slide/fall out of the seat exiting it unless you're 7 feet tall. But, like the ad says, it's such a common problem ebay replacements are plentiful.

Yeah I understand that,  but man that seat is really bad.  I had an 04 Suburban up until about 2 years ago and the leather while aged looking wasn't ripped at all. It had 170k or so miles on the clock. The last 75k or so with my fat ass farting on it. Very strange. I miss that truck, and this would be very similar(but more rugged) , but I don't think I'd want a V10 as a daily driver. Good luck with the sale.

Man I'm glad I already have a busted old tow pig because my bank account would be $6k poorer! Awesome cars, peak Canyonero.

Funny story, my neighbor has one and his other car is a Model 3! Either he's averaging his MPG or he just loves cool cars.

Okay, so you've got my interest... A/C working?  Do those have front and rear air/heat?

What's the deal with the steering box?  Like, a little loose and annoying or holy-carp, don't drive this thing on the highway unless you have a death wish bad?

class IV hitch and 7-pin connector on the back already?

How bad did the PO beat up the passenger side of the truck?

How's the rust?

----A/C working?  Do those have front and rear air/heat?----
Front and rear air, front a/c is slower to cool, but will do it. With front and rear air on it will freeze you instantly. Heater is great!

----What's the deal with the steering box?  Like, a little loose and annoying or holy-carp, don't drive this thing on the highway unless you have a death wish bad?----
I've driven it all over the state and done an 8+ hour drive 1 way to FL and back with my family in tow. It's on the annoying side of things, and I THINK adjusting the gear lash on the box will set it straight for a while, but haven't tried it (common thing to do). I've replaced all of the other steering components (new moog pieces). When towing it's when I notice it the most, when things get tight on the interstate, etc. But it's never stopped me/been more than just annoying.

----class IV hitch and 7-pin connector on the back already?----
Has 7 pin. 500/5k without weight distributing 1000/10k with weight distributing. I've only had ~3k behind it, and it might as well not be there - literally can't feel it. 

----How bad did the PO beat up the passenger side of the truck?----
Main damage is the driver door/driver side rear door and front fender - "easily" replaceable. But it's no show car and the paint is pretty rough all around, I THINK a polish and wax would bring it back, it's not been sun scorched or anything. 

----How's the rust?----
No Rust, it's a southern car.
