    I feel like that's a whole 'nother ball game though. You have a good 3.5 years of frequent driving before you even get to the 75k miles on that dealer's truck. If you drive at the rate the truck's been driven before, another 26 years. :rofl:

    Supply, demand, condition, and location . . . it does look nice in the photos.

    I'm not positive, but it looks like it has a drop bracket lift. To me that would degrade the value A LOT. Look at this picture and tell me if that's a stock spindle. The only aftermarket spindle that would fit that truck would be an extended one for a drop bracket lift.

    True, I've already put nearly 20k miles on her in the last 10 months though :( At just under 45k now, at this rate I'll be at 75k at the end of next year lol.

    I really need a second commuter car

    There was also a little bit of rust in the frame, not sure if it was enough to matter. but it was enough to make me nervous at his asking price. And they knew I was coming for three days and they didnt even bother to wash it. Just didnt get good vibes from them.

    At that price you'd expect a California/Arizona level of rust (none).
