What are some red flags for y'all when buying a used truck besides the obvious?
For example, I'm in a debate with a friend of mine about this tundra I'm looking at. Truck is immaculate. But it has a flip over gooseneck ball installed in the bed(appears to be brand new) and an aftermarket brake controller added in.
Every time I see a brake controller, gooseneck or helped bags in a half ton truck, I automatically assume it's lived a miserable life pulling d9 dozers up mont eagle six times a day.
Or for diesels when there's a 9 mile long aftermarket parts list. It makes me feel like it's been ragged out by some teenager.
