IS 2009 a good year for a used Ram 1500 5.7

I've been looking at older Rams for sale and this 2009 Hemi popped up. It's super clean with one rest spot on the bad wheel well and 220,000 miles and no tick. It's on a town 75 miles away. What do you guys think. My 02 Ram is just getting too tired.

It's getting up there in miles ...but how much are they asking? What work if any has been done to it that you know about, or per the seller? How does it feel going down the road?

I imagine being from ID there could be a lot of hwy miles. But were they empty miles or towing miles. Does the driveline feel pretty tight? Is the interior pretty good, or all worn out?

This is one I would probably want to have a complete inspection performed on it before buying it. Determine how the front suspension is, if the driveline is decent, etc.

Good compared to 2008. A little better if it has 3.92's. 2012 went from 545rfe to 65rfe.
