5 years and 83k miles later...
and I still love this truck. Normally I get bored with a vehicle or sick of it but haven't gotten to that point with this one.
I bought it in February 2009 with 48k and it now has almost 132k.
Its been a really good truck so far, just a few minor issues along the way but nothing too bad. Still runs good and looks pretty good with the exception of some rust bubbles on the 1/4's that I had fixed once already (got screwed over by the bodyshop, not the truck's fault the second time around).
Here it is the day I bought it:
Here it is a few months ago (too dirty for new pics):

Same plans Ive got. Im shooting for atleast 200k.
This truck is paid off and after seeing what a new truck costs, even a used truck I think I'll just keep this one around and avoid having a huge truck payment every month. I paid off the loan last summer and have been enjoying not having a payment to make on a truck.

I bought my truck 6 years ago today and have 81,000 on her. I plan on driving it until the doors fall off!

Ive made a few changes to the truck like removing the decals (they were peeling), replaced the ugly cheap looking chrome wheels with a set of factory aluminum wheels, leveled it 2", put on bigger tires and added a trifold tonneau cover (taken off in the newer pic, didn't have at the time in the first one). Theres also 2 lights in the grille.
Its also got an Edge Evolution programmer.
Its done everything Ive needed it to do from hauling my atv to towing a few cars to hauling dirt and scrap.

I paid mine off a year and a half early just because I was sick of the monthly payment hanging over my head.
I know I'll never get a deal like I got on this truck again. I see trucks the same age as mine with twice the mileage I bought it with going for around the same price I paid for it when it was 3 years old.
