If you're from VA don't be looking north, look south. I wouldn't even wast my time on that, but that's my conviction doesn't have to be yours.
looks pretty clean on the underside for an eastern rig... maybe hiding a bunch of rust with fresh paint? Hard to say.
I agree with others, underneath just looks like it's been painted over. Maybe wrong...

It looks pretty good to me. I’m surprised it’s still for sale. It would be worth a call or an email to get the details. Let us know how it goes if you do.
Definitely worth going to look at

I looked at the rest of the vehicles on their website and their prices seem really low for any kind of dealer. Could be a red flag.
Hey you get a nice fresh paint job on the undercarriage

I thought as much, I’m glad I got my hunch validated. Looks too good to be true. The hunt goes on I suppose. I’m down in VA, I was just mulling the idea of going up to NJ to see it but my gut feeling of too good to be true is being echoed by others here as well
Since you live only a few hours drive away, I'd hop in your truck and go take a look at it. Otherwise you'll never know for sure what condition it's in unless you go look at it. You could always look at it this way too, If it dosen't work out, you and your wife could swing by the coast on your way home for a big bucket of Blue Crab.
looks good to me. I too would be hesitant about an NJ rig, but pictures look pretty OK. I know it is common practice for some shady sellers to coat the underside to hide rust, but it's still obvious when they've just coated over serious rot. This does not look like that.
It's like house shopping. If the house smells overwhelmingly of air freshener, it usually means it has mold or cat pee. But sometimes it's just air freshener

Yeah, my underbody looks somewhat similar just because I had the undercarriage brushed, acid sprayed and oil coated. Maybe they did the same? Might be worth asking.
To be honest, it looks like the ACIS (Automatic Corrosion Inhibiting System) is working over time. It doesn't look like wet paint, it looks like engine oil, everywhere.
A little like the underside of my rig, only much worse. I go through about a quart of oil every 1000 miles, doesn't mark its spot in the drive, but the underside is well oiled, but not as well as that one's.

I’m amazed at the amount of undercarriage pics. Especially from a buy here pay here looking place.
Yeah, the bulk of the pics were undercarriage. Doesn't look too bad for an Eastern Vehicle.
Did see one pic that caught my attention though. Wondering if this has been replaced or if the factory welds were just that sloppy. They don't look like that anywhere on mine.
Might check to see if there are any collision reports.
