    I am going to look at a 2014 with manual tranny tomorrow. An old lady who bought it in 2016 had health problems so it sat majority of the time. It was driven 20,000 miles from 2016 til now. Her son inherited it this is what he told me. No service work done with that 20,000 miles. Deal breaker or not

    Check it out and see. It could be a great truck and if you get it for really cheap you could afford to drop a few bucks into it.

    The biggest thing probably is gona be the fuel system, todays fuel has a very short shelf life before it turns into varnish and goo.

    Also take a look under the oil cap, even with low miles being it was probably driven alot of short trips if oil changes weren't kept up it may be full of sludge.

    Don't forget to check the frame for rust as well.

    I'd also be concerned about mice or squirrels that nested in it and chewed on wires.
