It's a single cab 2wd. It would make an economical delivery vehicle for an auto parts company..

 

DANG!!!!!

 

I saw a cool 2003 regular cab 4X4 recently in British Columbia, which would make a fun toy. It had 62000 miles on it, and originally was a U.S. vehicle. I decided to pass because it didn't have enough air bags, IMHO, for modern highway driving.

 

It's cool but way to much for a single cab 2wd imo. just thought it was neat to see a older truck with that low of miles

 

Mine is a 97 4x4 regular cab with 88k on the clock. Definitely not 13k though. That's crazy low.

 

Mileage that low means it sat for a long time and that can potentially be bad news for a vehicle unless it was maintained accordingly. Mine only had 24k on it when I got it earlier this year and I've had a few issues over the last several months that I think are probably related to it having not been driven regularly.

Too bad that thing isn't a 3.4l 4x4 or he could probably sell it for what he paid for it back in the day, hell maybe even more lol.

 

Manual suggests engaging 4x4 for at least 10km every month to prevent gears seizing / rust formation.

When i see these low km legacy trucks all i can think of is how much corrosion and rust exists inside the differentials, transmission and engine. And all the dried out and rotted seals, hoses and gaskets. Also, radiator and brake fluid will do awful things past its shelf life.

 

There is another thread here recently that has few trucks people know of from 5-9K miles only. Yup 1st gen.
