i just spent about 6 to 8 months looking for a truck for my daughter. how frustrating.

like you found, even though they have low miles, they are ragged out. torn seats, broken switches and buttons and a big one. the front ends feel like they are about to fall off.
either the trucks are poorly made or people just don't take car of them.

finally found a nice 99 250 with a 7.3 and 166k miles for $9k. A little more than i wanted to pay for it but it is pretty nice. nice tight steering and front end, tranny(auto) shifts nice and feels good.
it has a very slight vibration around 35, either balance or bent rim, but my daughter can't really fell it.
slight vibration when braking.

brings my faith in american autos down a little.

oh, she loves the truck. now i need a goose neck hitch
