Default 2 trucks to decide between, too low of price of both??

I found these two trucks on keepitlocal.com, and they both seem too low in price, to not have SOMEthing wrong with it. Maybe its just me. So i need some help. They are both about 200 miles away, and thats too far to drive just to take a look at. So I am trying to get the dealers to tell me everything they can about the truck. I like them both, but the gray one has a moon roof and I like that a lot. Problem is the dealer isnt showing much for pictures on that one. So it makes me a little nervous. NTM, it had a goose neck ball mounted in the box. On the other hand the white one only has the center console shift(is what I really want). And that truck is closer to 300 miles away. If I go there, Im going to buy. You guys tell me what you think, because price being as low as it is, kinda makes me nervous. FTM, the gray one also has about 20k miles less
thanks for the input!!

I'm going to say the reason they're so "low" in price is definitely because of the milage. I would still say the price is high though. I bought my 05 super cab lariat 8 months ago for $16,500 with just under 18,000 miles on it.

Sometimes high mileage isnt a bad thing. Id rather have one with highway miles than stop and go. and 79k miles isnt bad. Its average.

And thats what I was thinking, right away when he told me it had holes in the box for a goose neck, I backed off a bit, but wanted someone elses opinion,then he said hes getting a bedliner to throw over that.
Again though, the mileage does bug me a little on the white one.

Big reason I am looking at these, is because with the rate, terms and amount of money down, that low of a price puts me at 250 a month. If I go up to a 15-16k truck, with the same amount of miles, it puts me up that 300+ a month.

2WD??? Cuz I found an 04 Lariat Crew cab, about 2 weeks ago, for 15,000 with 83k miles. Now I go to call on it, and he says the price is 18000. I went whoa!!!
