Would you buy this 2014 RAM?

[jp28173]

Here's the one I'm currently considering (click here). Super low miles for a 2014 and I went and looked at it yesterday and it seems to be in pretty good cosmetic shape. The driveshaft had a significant amount of surface rust on it but from my understanding that's pretty normal and nothing to be concerned about, correct? A few nuts and bolts had some minor rust, but nothing extreme. Per CarFax it didn't come from the rust belt either, it was only in VA and NC.

Any issues with the '14 models to be concerned with? Anything specific I should look for if I go back to check it out again? Ideally I would like a BigHorn with the nicer trim, sliding window, and better dash/screen but at this price point it's hard to justify the extra cost.

Thanks in advance for any helpful input / advice / etc.!

On my 2014 the only issues were both front brake calipers locked up , under 20,000 miles. Other then that no more problems, though only have 24,000 now . Driveshaft had rust covering it from the day I bought it .

Considering today's truck prices are stupid high I think that looks like a pretty good deal.

Looks like a good deal for a 4x4, that's really low miles for a 2014.

There's a thread on here somewhere talking about drive shafts, some are steel some are aluminum, so the steel will normally have surface rust.

I wish I'd bought a few more trucks when I bought mine, RCSB 4x4 tradesman 106K for $13,600 in Oct 2019!

I purchased new, a 17 Laramie 1500 in late 2018, when the 19’***** the lot. Brand new, Southern California... and the driveshaft was rusty on the lot. Yes, this is common.
