Looks like a Michigan truck. Not the worst I’ve seen, but you can do better.

Here's more photos. It runs and feels great, just the frame had me a bit worried. Bringing it to dealer and I'll update on this thread again.

Looks just like mine. If you get a nice clean one, it'll look like that after a year or two. Use it to get the price down.

Surface rust is no problem, but when it gets flaky/scaley it becomes a structural concern. Really depends what the price is and mileage/condition etc...

$11.5k, and 123k odo. That rust is scaring me a bit

That's why I bought a Texas truck and had it shipped here to Ohio...

For a truck that has lived in salt it is in good shape. What does the interior look like? What year? I just got a 2009 that is a little cleaner than that from a lexus dealer in mi that is pristine inside and good outside. All service at dealership with 139k for 12. Cosmetically was way more worried about inside than out. By summer it will be pin stripped by trees anyway. Equally if i get a door ding not the end of the world. If it was a 2020 i would be stressed over those things. Maintenance is the biggest issue. The rear axel seems to be the worst and that is easy to swap. If you want to come to michigan you can have mine as i will be be swapping in my 4runner axel with a locker when the snow melts and the temps are higher than 8 degrees.

Man, posts like this make me really appreciate living in the PNW!

The rust on the track bar mount is more than I'd be comfortable with. That's pretty deep and that brackets isn't that thick to start with.

Another vote for passing. Totally rust free ones are plentiful in the west. You can always have it shipped...which would be less expensive that contending with the rust that will only get worse and worse.
