Engine hours

[22Tradesman]

Hey everyone!
I'm going to be buying a 2022 Tradesman regular cab with a long bed and the 3.6 with 9,200 miles. It's immaculate. It was a previous rental truck, either through U-Haul or enterprise. (The dealer isn't sure). I looked at the engine hours and it has 90 at idle, and 385 drive hours. Are those high or low for the year and mileage of this truck? Thanks alot!

A two year old truck with 9,200 miles is low mileage. Idle hours are roughly a quarter of drive hours which isn’t bad. As a rental it probably did a lot of short trips or in town driving. Not necessarily a bad thing with only 9,200 miles. As long as it wasn’t abused I’d take a chance on it. You state it’s immaculate so that’s a good indicator it was used to haul the new dishwasher or new mattress from point A to point B. The 3.6 isn’t as prone to wear from frequent idling and being sold by a dealer should have a warranty. Best of luck with your new truck.

That's great to hear. Thank you so much for the reply!
