[@Rdfelic]

I bought my 2006 HD back in 2007 and still have it till this day!

[@YouMotorcycle]

My exhaust has a leak and my dash sometimes gets a little goofy but other than that it seems ok. How is yours holding up?

[@TheCanadianBubba]

Family friend has a Foose . A little more limited truck as well. If you can keep it nice it will obviously hold value being as Harleys are likely always going to be popular. Hope a great summer for ya !

[@YouMotorcycle]

Those are nice. Thanks man. Ride safe!

[@TheJVCguy]

I have a 2010 edition and love it, it has the cooling seats which is awesome! but the 2007/2008 model will always be my absolute favorite I think. they also came with a supercharger option as well

[@YouMotorcycle]

Nice!

[@ApexMotow]

My man, please do a video on the hydraulic system you install in the truck bed. Thank you!

[@YouMotorcycle]

lol alright coming soon!

[@tonyzapien369]

One or two little things were the original spark plugs and timing chain lol once fixed super reliable

[@YouMotorcycle]

What was the timing chain issue?

[@LynxStarAuto]

@@YouMotorcycle The cam phasers develop knock. They make this bung, bung, bung, sound. The oil pumps are a known weak point as well. Cam roller followers are also a trouble area of the 5.4. The exhaust manifold tick due to broken studs, and cam phaser solenoids fail too. Oh yeah, and the early spark plugs.

[@Ashleycycle]

I pick mine up Tue . What were the free rims called ?

[@YouMotorcycle]

What free rims?

[@AlejandroHernandez-lw6ke]

I think I have the same truck and I can't find the auxiliary input, where is it? I only see the button but not the input to put the cable Heeelpppp :(((

[@YouMotorcycle]

There is no aux input. Gotta change the radio out. I'll post the link to the one I installed when I get home

[@AlejandroHernandez-lw6ke]

@@YouMotorcycle thanks bro

[@Jared_DaVinci]

Im looking for a 2007 or 2008 Harley Davidson can anyone help a kid out its ben a year and a half and i cant find one

[@miguelpenaloza4692]

Offer up Illinois 2006 120k miles for 12,500

[@Jared_DaVinci]

@@miguelpenaloza4692 thats decent, but all 06's come with a half of a back door........

[@YouMotorcycle]

Gonna put your sixteen kids in the back Jared? Lol. You get a longer bed in exchange for the smaller cabin. I'm all about that. A truck pays for itself in the bed. If you want to cabin space get a Toyota Highlander.

[@TBrown976]

i’ll sell you my 06 harley, 240k miles just replaced the original alternator

[@Jared_DaVinci]

@@TBrown976I just got an 08, I'm only looking for a 07 and a 12 now

[@5.0_life30]

Do you know where I can get a front billet grill just like the one you have?? I’m looking for a Harley grille for my Lariat

[@YouMotorcycle]

I think mine is stock from factory as far as I know

[@5.0_life30]

@@YouMotorcycle Yes I’m sure it’s stock. I’m looking for one just like that for my 04’. Thanks for the reply bud👍🏼👍🏼

[@rick15666]

Just found one with 150k for $5k, clean title etc, isn’t that like a screaming good deal??

[@YouMotorcycle]

What units of measurement are we talking about here? Miles? Kilometers? Canadian dollars? American dollars? I have no idea what we're looking at 🙃

[@nicholasgonzalez6104]

What state are you in and how much did you pay for the truck . I'm about to buy the same 1

[@YouMotorcycle]

I'm in Toronto, Canada. I think it was about 5,200 USD with the conversion rate.

[@vmontalvo5591]

MPG?

[@YouMotorcycle]

I sacrifice a dinosaur every time I drive it. Like 13 mpg mixed city and highway.

[@omarzowila]

You could've bought the 2006 Ford F-150 Ashley/Smith Baja Edition which is one of the most rare F-150's that had a number of 2000 produced and it was a Ford F-150 Raptor before it even came out

[@YouMotorcycle]

Sure... Except for the fact I've never seen one for sale here, pretty sure they were never available for sale here, I mentioned that I didn't want a crew cab, aaaaand most importantly the truck bed would have been too small for my needs so I wouldn't want one lol

[@omarzowila]

@@YouMotorcycle I have seen only 2 2006 F-150 Ashley/Smith Baja Edition's on Facebook Marketplace and they looked cool

[@YouMotorcycle]

@@omarzowila I'm glad I bought my truck instead of waiting for one of those

[@omarzowila]

@@YouMotorcycle At least you got a limited edition Ford F-150

[@YouMotorcycle]

I guess 🤷‍♂️ doesn't really mean anything to me, its the features and specs that I make use of, the badges on the side aren't going to make me any more productive or comfortable... I'm a simple guy lol

[@Jared_DaVinci]

Im looking for a 2007 or 2008 Harley Davidson can anyone help a kid out

[@YouMotorcycle]

They're hard to come by. Whatever your local classifieds site you use (craigslist, etc.) make sure you're checking far away areas as well! I had to drive about an hour and a half to get mine. It was worth it though. The further I got out of the city the better the deals were. I checked out another F150 on my way up there, but it had some rust and this one was much cleaner.

[@Jared_DaVinci]

@@YouMotorcycleoh ok you did good....... im starting to see quite a bit of them for sale from state to state, but the deals aren't good and i have to watch for rust and previous accidents.

[@YouMotorcycle]

@@Jared_DaVinci Yup. What state are you in and what are your reasons for wanting an HD edition?

[@Jared_DaVinci]

@@YouMotorcycle im in Georgia and i want one because alot of the newer body trucks just dont compare to them

[@TonyT-og5tp]

I have a 2006 for sale $6000

[@dennistoadvine9672]

How many miles were on it when You got it?

[@YouMotorcycle]

230,000 kilometers.. Now at 240,000

[@armandoesquivel9346]

@@YouMotorcycle I'm 'bout to get a pristine '08 one with 85K kms for about 9.5kUSD in Mexico. I guess it should be a good deal! Hope it gets to the 240K!

[@YouMotorcycle]

Sweet. That will still have so much life left in it

[@95cv95]

How's the reliability?

[@YouMotorcycle]

Put a new alternator and wheel bearings on one wheel. That's about it. I've only put 4000 km on it so that's mostly the previous owner's wear. Who knows how old those parts were.

[@rick15666]

Moonroof too right!?

[@YouMotorcycle]

Check the first minute of the video

[@CristianHernandez-lh9rp]

“Did yOu jUsT sAy tHe 5.4 iS rELiABlE?” Get real with yourselfs, stop listening to everything they say on the internet, the 5.4 is reliable

[@YouMotorcycle]

Yep. Mine is at about 198k miles. Still going strong, just one or two leaks lol

[@bryanr6647]

Just got one with 40k miles for 10k usd

[@YouMotorcycle]

Woah it's a baby! My exhaust pipe just rusted off mine on the highway at 262k km

[@tntm7897]

How do yours run? im looking to get one in this year

[@JCR2609]

This 5.4 tritón Is bad engine

[@YouMotorcycle]

318,000 km so far 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@brianschooley3833]

Not true. All 5.4 are not bad. But I did want Ford to dropped a supercharger in the 5.4, plus true 4 door. I would so buy in a heartbeat 💓
