Thoroughly inspect for rust on the frame, rocker panels, and tailgate, especially in critical structural areas.
Check transmission fluid condition (should be red, not brown or burnt-smelling) and test for smooth shifts during a drive.
Listen for unusual noises (clunking, squeaking) from the front suspension and steering during a test drive over bumps.
Verify all electrical components are working, including power windows, climate control, and dashboard lights.
Obtain service records to confirm regular maintenance, particularly transmission fluid and filter changes.
Consider a pre-purchase inspection by a mechanic experienced with American SUVs to identify potential hidden issues.
Factor in higher fuel costs and potential repair expenses for an older V8 engine and truck-based components.
