Mike68, if you're looking for used trucks, always remember that many of the northern states use salt on their roads in the winter, so even a 2-3 year old truck may have cancer issues if it wasn't well taken care of. Best vehicles tend to come out of the south and SW. Texas trucks will also tend to have a =lot= of miles on them, even in only a few years. You live in "big country", so I'm sure you see the same thing. Just sayin'... You sound like you've done a lot of homework, so I don't think you'll have a lot of issues.

Yeah I had heard that about the salt, cheers! I live in Perth, the most isolated city in the world so yeah we do a lot of travelling, and its to my understanding that a country vehicle that has a lot of long distance miles on it is certainly a lot better than a city vehicle of the same mileage. That said, I still we be looking for one with reasonably low mileage & from one of the Southern states.
Good point also Slownsy, that had crossed our minds travelling in possibly snowy conditions, Although the kids would love to see snow for 1st time, this is something I am definitely not used to & don't like the sound of driving in. Is there still snow about late March up around Michigan?
