Considering selling my 2005 6.0 Bulletproof with 130k miles

I am 75 years old and planning to sell my bulletproof upgrade (Gosch Ford Helmet CA) that came with all the paperwork and repair order receipts, etc., to a Ford dealership. Has a Banks IQ and Tekonsha fifth wheel brake controller in addition to numerous other add-on fifth wheel things, I have put up a whole list with images. What are your thoughts?

I have read comments claiming that driving it up north is impossible. I have a 06 crew cab dual here in New York State. Never got trapped as of yet.
It will sell but you may not get what you want.

Exactly :100: My '06 F550 wrecker is 2WD, and it handles well in the PNW. Although, if I do get stuck, I can always winch myself out.

Also in the PNW and also 2WD, with a 6.0 longbed. I was pleasantly surprised by how well my truck handled the snow last winter. With just a couple hundred pounds of Quick Crete in the bed, I had no issues at all.

HD, Lariat, or XLT? Crew Cabin? Long Bed? I need additional details.

Since 6.0s have a horrible reputation, prices are usually between $6k and $12k, with the most expensive models going up to $12k. You will have to wait a bit for a well-maintained, mint-condition interior, bulletproofed, five-wheel hitch, Lariat, maybe costing between $15 and $18,000.

Thanks, I am new to posting online, it is a crew cab dual 2WD. Any suggestions on where to share all the pictures and full description?

I would list it on Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist posting a car costs $5.

Selling it as dual-wheel drive will be much more difficult, but not impossible.
