What to check before you buy

  • When shopping this trim, verify service records and inspect for towing wear, as many owners use these trucks for hauling. Check the 4WD system functionality thoroughly. Compare fuel economy based on real-world driving patterns—these trucks demand regular maintenance. Confirm all electronics and climate controls operate smoothly. Ask about bed liner condition and any modifications made by previous owners.
