Looks like the base interior, personally I think that's a good thing but it's a matter of preference. Has 3.21 axle ratio which is good if you're leaving the truck stock or not going to wild on tires but if you're into speed or big tires you'd be better off with 3.92 axle gears.

It doesn't say specifically but this one may have the BW44-45 transfer case, which is regarded as stronger than the BW44-44 but does not have an automatic mode. If that matters to you, you'll want to check on that by asking the seller for a photo of the 4x4 shift control panel on the dash or look at it yourself if you check in person. If it has an "auto" setting labeled on there it means it's the 44-44 . That's better if you don't really do hardcore off road stuff and just need all weather mobility without having to think too hard. If there is no "auto" setting and just 2wd, 4H and 4L then it's the 44-45 which works like a conventional 4x4 and requires you to shift it for the situation. It's regarded as stronger, if you're going to work the truck hard.

I would say it's slightly overpriced, I picked up my 19 classic SLT almost identical to that except I have the driver's power seat and premium cloth and I only paid 26999 like a month and a half ago also only had 12,200 miles. I'd keep looking

I agree that truck would need to be around $26,000 for me to consider it a good price.

You should check CarMax and do a search in the bigger area. There is a bighorn with 4,000 miles, 2019 for about $30,000 that shows up searching in St. Paul area. CarMax has a $99 fee to bring it but you're under no obligation to buy it if you end up not liking it. I bought my truck purely by emails and phone calls. I never saw it until I actually went to pick it up. Already knew what I wanted, so worked out well. Good luck

30k for a truck with over 28k is a little high. You'd be better off going new especially if you're going to finance it since you get better rates on new vs used. Especially now you can get a good deal taking anything off their lots. Go in, find the truck you want & ask to see the invoice, then offer them below invoice, unless you offer crazy low you will probably get it.

Seems high priced to me also. I got a 2018 with 4000 less miles than that. It has the Big horn package which gave me power seats, heated side mirrors, 8.4 radio with the larger screen, automatic fold in mirrors, a full center console and full gauges for $23,999. Only thing this has up on mine is the hemi, where as I have the 3.6 v6.

Way overpriced. I found an ‘18 Laramie 5.7, 6’4” bed with under 12k miles back in July ‘18 for $32.5. I guarantee there’s much better deals out there than the one you’re looking at. If pricing in your area is reflective of this truck, you would be well served to extend your search radius and make it an all day trip. Good luck to you!
