SELLER MESSAGE
Hi, I'm comparing used trucks for [daily use/cargo/trailer]. Please send the VIN, mileage, engine, transmission, drivetrain, cab/bed configuration, factory tow-package or build information, and clear photos of the loading, certification and receiver labels. Could you include maintenance and repair records, known leaks or shifting problems, rust/collision history, modifications and prior towing, plow or camper use? I'd like an independent inspection before committing and manufacturer confirmation of the load limits for my intended use. If you're a dealer, please send an itemized out-the-door quote for my registration ZIP and identify optional products separately. Are those checks possible before I travel?
