I found a truck I am interested it and would like to see if anybody can look at tell me if it is worth my drive from Havasu to Fontana. Talking to owner it sound good but I don't trust anybody.
He is at Summit and the 15 less than a 1/4 mile in.

Keep in mind that’s the lowest level Chevrolet truck made it appears to be the work truck model. I’m surprised it even has electric windows. It’s all plastic inside so if that’s what you’re looking for you’re good.

Just need something shorter than a crew cab dually to fit in storage unit parking. Simpler is better. It has dual batteries and other park ranger stuff. And has 14 pages of maintenance records.

That's about 10-15 houses away from me LOL drive by it when I come in to my house in the RV from that side. Every time I see it I wonder if someone is really a Fish and Game Warden there. Should be around tomorrow.

Based on the color of green, the roof spot light, the blacked out grill and the tool box in the bed that's an ex Cal Fish and Wildlife truck. Granted it looks clean, but the ones in my neck of the woods that come through my shop are beeeeaaaaaaat down by the time they are done with them.

He does have all the maintenance records so that will help in my decision

Not committed to this but in havasu every one seems to have almost 200k miles. I am looking for the shortest truck I can get with the back seats for our dog.

I’ve bought a few government vehicles in the past. As mentioned the maintenance is typically good. If you can get past the bare bones base model and a few dings/scratches they typically don’t disappoint.

A 1st gen Tundra access cab is probably shorter.

Why did it get a new engine? I am not a Ford guy so I know very little about them
