My 2014 has only 29,000 miles on it. Bought it new with 6 miles on it. Hard to believe, but it will be 3 years old in December.
I used to drive 25,000 a year until my family sold the lake house in Maine.
I'm still pissed off about that, but it was right before the housing crash in 2005.
They did make a killing on that deal. Got very lucky.
So now, I'm only driving around 10,000 miles a year now.

^^^ Mine has only rolled 5400 total miles since I took delivery 24 months ago (special factory order was entered on the last week before cutoff for Dearborn 2015 model changeover). Mine is kept in the garage (thankfully, somewhat oversized so it fits in front of cabinets with workbench). I replaced the junk P-metric GY tires within 500 miles and have spent many $K "making it my own" since.

If I had to sell or wanted to for some specific reason, somebody would be getting a killer truck in 100% unblemished condition. Oh yeah, I did have PPF applied soon after but still had one tiny stone chip on the painted bumper which was touched up before applying the film. Point being, there are honest low mileage trucks out there for sale. Not very many but some...

So what you are saying is that I should buy yours, desert trucks are the best anyway

Its definitely 1-off, being S-cab with relatively rare 6.2L.
Um, not for sale, besides you specified S-crew...

It's at least proof the truck you're looking at, could be just a low mileage truck and hopefully not a problem child.
There's definitely some out guys out there that want to join the crowd, but then realize a truck isn't for them. Maybe that's the case.....

People trade their vehicles in for lots of reasons. My sister seems to get a new car every six months. They love it when they get it and soon get bored, always looking for their next vehicle. I wouldn't worry about a low mileage vehicle getting traded in. You will save tons of money buying it used.

IMO to determine if it is a good deal you need a real OTD price (not msrp. nobody pays anywhere near msrp) on a new truck equipped the way you want (not necessarily equivalent to this truck, but one that you'd be happy to buy.

We don't know in service date but that 2014 may not have much bumper to bumper warranty left. Adding extended warranty narrows the gap in price compared to new. Compare the end of extended warranty to when standard warranty would expire on new truck.

Combining new tires and extended warranty you are inching closer to a new truck.

If you are looking for a deal for an online extended warranty make sure it is still under the 3yr/36k warranty or else the cost of an extended warranty goes up quite a bit. It's a 2014 but it's in service date could have been in 2013. Something to look at.

Looks mint and at a good price. Low mileage is not indicative of problems.

So they will not bend past $37,300 they said they can wait, very friendly about it, but super firm, they feel the truck is already fairly priced for it's condition and miles. So now what, no real room to work with price down to even $36k, I tried.
