Looks like a nice T4R3G in Tucson with low miles
Posting in the event a member finds this interesting.
Sure looks good on paper and can't beat the asking price.

You didn't notice the passenger front corner damage? Looks like it also shifted the grill, hood, and trim below the driver headlight...

Guessing the hood is painted or replaced. The clear coat looks burnt off the top of the back lift gate, but the hood looks nice?
Front suspension replaced but the back is way high? Maybe they didn’t use 99 talls?
Did they replace front suspension due to accident?
I’m not a pessimist, I’m a realist. At least that’s what I tell myself.

Of course not. That's the potential buyer's responsibility.

My response pretty much echos DieselChessy's remarks.
This truck looks like it's been there and done that. Front body panels completely off; look at the hood to fender gap. DS fender a shade lighter than body. Oh, and the worst attempt at respraying a license garnish (overspray on body). Clearly some jabroni trying to flip it.
Struggling to find what is nice about this as Eddie noted.

It needs a proper front end work. They surely used cheap parts and will last no more than 10K or 1 year!

I would not listen to what guys have to say about that vehicle. If you are interested in the vehicle have someone you trust and who knows what to look for (timing belt replacement, rust, suspension quality, motor or transmission issues etc) validate this vehicle. Paying for a vehicle inspection from an expert and not guys looking at a pic would be worth it if you r really are interested in the vehicle.

Exactly. Thank you! Maybe my expectations are too high LOL
I'm in the east coast but is $5500 considered a "nice" price for a 3rd-gen in such "nice" condition in AZ?

Only a fool would pay more than salvage auction price. I would not doubt frame damage.

Front end looks a little wonky to me too.
Funny there's no mention of it in the ad.
Buyer beware on this one.

Yeah, but it looks like some one tried to rip the dash off above the glove box.
Might be a decent rig, but price is too high and you’d need to go over it with a fine tooth comb to take inventory of what you were buying.
