Thoroughly inspect the frame and body for rust, especially around mounting points, wheel wells, and bed seams.
Check for proper engine operation, paying attention to cold starts, idle stability, and any unusual noises.
Verify the condition of the suspension and steering components; worn parts are common at this age.
If buying a 4x4, test the engagement of both high and low range.
