How about this one?

Looking at this truck. I started out worrying about mileage, but these engines are pretty good. Plus, I got to looking at the 2010's and figure if I save money on this truck now, about 5 years down the road, I can get a 2013/14 truck for cheap.

What should I look for?

Clean looking 03 and low mileage for that year as well. Check all the usual things you would with a used vehicle (fluids, belts, hoses, carpet, seats, all buttons work, lights, etc). Also looks like it has a leveling kit on it, the lower valence is missing, and in 1 picture it looked like there was a little tire rub marking on the control arms, meaning it had larger tires on it at 1 time. Look at the drivers side A-pillar to see if there are any screwdriver scratches around the bolt covers. If there are, the pillar has been removed, possibly for gauges. Doesn't look like the exhaust manifold is tapped for a pyro, though. Also looks like it has an aftermarket exhaust, though looks factory 4". This could mean the previous owner simply put a different muffler or something, or they could have been running a 5" TBE and returned it to near stock to trade it in. No way to know unless you can contact the previous owner. Test drive it and look for excessive smoking and/or transmission slipping. Look under the bedliner for a G/N hitch or holes cut where a stack might have been.

Overall, looks like a clean, taken careof pickup. Just give it a good, thorough look at (in person) before you commit to buy.
