I currently have an 06 2500HD LBZ 4x4 CC SB. I test drove an 07 Topkick...WOW!!! Didn't want to get back in my little 3quarter ton.:D
The dealer wants about $47,500 for this brand new 07 topkick. Its a Regular Cab with an 11ft. flatbed with a gooseneck ball. Air ride seat on the drivers side. Power windows, locks, and cd player. Also its 4 WHEEL DRIVE!!!:) Just wanted to know if $47,500 is a good price for the truck. Thanks!!!

It doesn't sound bad to me, but I think you may be unhappy with a regular cab after having a crew cab. I've tried that before and wished I had more room after having it for a while.

I purchased a 2006 4x4 crewcab last year and love it. It replaced a f350. I can back a trailer and turn tighter than my f350. I paid 47,500.00 and had all the options. cost 3,000.00 to have a 12' bed installed. You will miss the crew cab, I love mine as there is so much more room.

Bought my 05 4X4 as a cab chassis, and paid $37,000 brand new. Built the bed myself for $3200.

A Fair price - BUT if you are going to do highway driving take it out and run it on some roughly paved highway at 65 MPH sustained first. You may realize you need to passenger side Airride seat for sure or no one will want to ride with you. Depends on what you are doing with it. I have an 07 Crewcab with both fronts air ride. Drive it fast first and see if you still like it. I'm assuming it's the 169 wheelbase - tell me what you think afterwards or if you have driven at that speed for a length - I'd be interested in your handling assessment - Is it a dual wheel ? - I guess yes - they really don't come any other way :).
