How does this underside look?

Here are some photos of a truck I’m thinking of buying. I will have to fly out to see it though. Trying to get as much info and as many photos from the seller as possible. He is an elderly man though so he is a bit limited in what he can do. What do these photos tell you about the condition of the truck and frame? To me it looks pretty good but I’m an idiot so I’m looking for other opinions. Thanks!

 

To be honest not much . Not bad from what I see

maybe they had no clue what to take pictures of??

Just where does the Truck live Southwest of You or North of I80??

 

Here are some more photos they just sent me.

 

It’s in Tennessee near the Alabama line.

 

Not bad from the pictures.

You still need to get there and go over it.

Has it been sitting with the battery disconnected?? If so you can`t even look for pending codes or if all the test cycles have completed.

 

No. It looks like an immaculate old mans truck. 187k mikes. 2003 double cab 4x4 TRd radiant red. It’s my dream truck but it’s 9.5 hours away. To me the frame looks like it’s worth the risk of a plane flight but I’m hoping others can confirm or refute. My emotions are all up in this. Trying to be smart.

 

The CarFax we just ran shows it as an IL and then MI truck until 2010 when it then became a Tennessee truck.

 

Service history?

 

you can lower that to I-70 me thinks!

 

i would suggest you reach out to some TW folks in that general area and see if they can inspect it firsthand for you, maybe they are in the same town or county or can come to some other arrangement!?

 

It says there are 18 records I think. Here are some screen shots.

 

Anyone else have any thoughts?

 

Looks to be some black overspray in a few of those photos. Just an observation

 

Its looks not bad. There is some rust but they didnt send you the pics you need to really diagnose it. It looks like they spray painted part of the frame and there is over spray as @BINK05TRD mentioned. But my truck has over spray as well and it was done by the dealer when they did the frame recall. But mine was a Toyota frame coating not paint.

 

The accident in 2010 with frame damage according to the carfax.
Was the frame replaced by Toyota after that ?
