I have a 2012 with the 5.0 4x4. 190k nearly trouble free miles. But I drive like a grandma.

Is this in the year range where the spark plugs snap off when you try to replace them?

Pass there's a reason someone finally got rid of it. Especially if it still looks pretty good.

Most of the time that 200k mark on a truck is the beginning of the end.
Not always of course, but on anything that's been well used it's nearing the time when it's going to cost you something really expensive to fix or just break in half. |

Seems to be the majority opinion here so I guess I’ll keep looking!

Cam phasers are an issue.

The 2011 5.0 was a good engine.
Thats a good price, but there might be a reason. The mileage would not bother me if I was getting the truck cheap enough, to be able to handle a replacement engine down the road. |

Obviously in Ohio we have salt so that might factor in. Lots of guys still asking covid prices but they're sitting. Truck's and vehicles on the used market are coming down up here. My son paid 5k for a used 2015 Silverado with 120k last year all though that might be apples to oranges. |

The IWE 4wd actuators will be garbage. Dorman has a delete kit.
If the miles and price don’t scare you go for it. Rust would be the killer.. and just because the body is clean doesn’t mean the frame isn’t crumbling. |

I'm probably going to up my price range to $20,000 from $10,000 and start looking hard at the used car lots for something more robust.
I do need a good pickup but maybe I need to move away from just a farm beater truck to something newer that'll last me a good long while and I can use it for more daily activities. |

If that truck hasn't had a timing job yet. It will, or already does, need one. Deduct 2k and then okay.
