It's a 2x4, so we think it was used for perhaps towing a horse trailer. The brakes are worn at an uneven ratio. The back ones are good. The front driver's side is 20% worn while the passenger front is 50% worn. Test driving showed some shudder and the dealer ground the rotors. Says it's great now. I would have preferred they replaced the rotors. Is this a deal breaker?
Go for a 2015 or newer. They have the built in exhaust brake with a button to engage it. I have a 2016 F350 LB Platinum SRW to pull my Alpine. Handles excellent either ascending or descending mountains.
