    Check the frame for rust. Purchase a Carfax report for it.

    Looking at the carfax it seems to have been serviced every time as it should at a dealership. Also looked up and found out rear leafs were changed last year and also the frame was inspected. I will look it over tomorrow more closely, but seems it could end up being a really nice truck. Thank you for the advice
