    My Pro is being offloaded by the railroad today so it’s getting pretty close. It’s my first new vehicle in over 10 years. So my question is- What should I be sure I look at before buying?

    Thanks!

    I would look at model years 2008 through 2021. Or model years 2000 through 2006. Jus' sayin';)

    All kidding aside....
    Congrats on the new truck! It will be fine and we all look forward to your adventures with it!:thumbsup:

    Look long and hard at the long list of problems others have had with the newest version. It isn't a very pretty list, but it is useful and could save you a great deal of time, money, and headaches. Good luck!

    So things that pretty much have no solution:

    1. Drive it on the highway 70-80mph, see if any whistling or any other abnormal noises. Is the cabin quiet? Any excessive wind noise?

    Many are still battling wind noise issues with dealers without success, so if you hear something you don't like, accept that you'll always have it, or don't accept delivery of the truck.

    2. Drive slowly through city streets, stop and go, listen for any mechanical clutter noises.. See if anything Abnormal
