On used trucks, just be cautious about the truck's history. I saw a nice looking 04 Chev DRW with about 30K miles that seemed like a good buy at the time. I noticed that it had the bars for a very heavy 5th wheel hitch. I asked the dealership owner/salesperson about it and he told me that it had a 32K hitch because they used it to haul horses to the race track, and needed that big a hitch to take all the weight they were hauling. 32K on a truck with a 16K max trailer weight did not sit too well with me, so I passed on that truck, also it would not have been owner-driven, so who knows what care it got during its run-in period? It was a leased truck, so what would they have cared?
