98,300 miles -- 4WD -- Tow Hitch -- Fisher Minute Mount Plow Plates New oil pan 2006, major brake work 2006, new tires 2007, new power steering pump 2010 Starts easily on first turn of the key Tires all have good tread, one has slow leak No AC installed, heater may need cleaning before next winter I never plowed with it and can't advise you about the condition of the plow system Body has rust that will need attention before long. I got this truck in 2006 with 73,200 miles and now it has 98,300. I haven't driven it much in the past year because I work at home and I need a different vehicle that my wife can drive easily. I used it for hauling things while I was building our house. I don't have extensive experience with the condition of similar vehicles, I have the impression it will need some body work but will give good service to someone who is willing to work on it. I have put money into the mechanicals as needed to keep it running well and not leaking fluids. The body things that will need attention first are the driver side door where the hinge attaches to the body, the floor on the passenger side near the door, and the left front bumper. If you are planning to tow heavy loads you may want to replace the brackets that hold the rear leaf springs to the frame. After that a leak at the top of the windshield, probably fixable with 5200. I don't fill the gas tanks all the way up unless I am on a highway trip because I think there is a leak at the top of one and I keep forgetting which one. I did a bondo repair of the floor on the driver side last year and have done a couple of bondo bumper repairs in the past. All the windows and doors are manual. The interior is blue vinyl, I would say it is in fair condition. The interior handle for the rear left passenger door broke off and the exterior handle opens but you have to mean it when you push the button. The driver side door started to have a hard time closing two weeks ago, I think rust on the left front fender has allowed the hinge to sag a little. The inspection station made an error entering the mileage when I had it inspected last August and I only noticed when I got the carfax report about a month ago, I can email you the report if you want. I can email more photos or call Eric 508-457-4556
