Default Looking at a 2016 KR

And the factory sticker posted by the dealer indicates the truck had a factory spray in bedliner.

The pictures of the truck show a white painted bed, no liner.

the CARFAX shows no wreck.

dealer says “I dunno”.

Its a Ford fleet truck from Michigan moved south.

any ideas?

Seems like there's a couple potential red flags. Is the bed pristine on the inside? That could be a little fishy, too. Why was the truck moved so far?

I'd stay away from it due to it being a fleet truck. It's like buying a previous rental.

A clean Carfax doesn't mean the truck was never wrecked, damaged, salvaged, etc. It all depends if the police or repair facility reported it to Carfax.

Maybe the dealer posted the wrong image on the listing.

What is the VIN I can check on it

If it was a "show" truck then they took it around to show it off and drive it like they stole it when the opportunity comes.
If it was a reps truck then they sent it to the sale and usually goes out of the region driven.
If you get a chance look at the frame and steel underpinnings you will be able to see if it really was a Michigan truck, they use pounds per square inch of salt on their roads.
