pickup was the best-selling vehicle in the US in 2009 with 179,632 units sold. However, this particular truck is owned by former President George W. Bush and will be auctioned at the Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale, Arizona, for the Fisher House Foundation, a charity for military families. 

President Bush bought the truck after leaving the White House in 2009 and used it at his ranch in Crawford, Texas. The truck is loaded with nearly every option including leather and a 5.4-liter V8 with 310hp and a 11,200lb towing capacity. President Bush donated the truck to Barrett-Jackson to be auctioned for the charity. 

"I haven't driven on a street in many, many years, but I have been able to drive this truck on my ranch. I want to thank all those who are supporting the Fisher House. In supporting the Fisher House, you're supporting our veterans. And in supporting our veterans, you're helping America," said President Bush. 

President Bush is the truck's sole owner and he ordered to his own specification. He will also sign the dashboard before the car is sold.
