I wouldn't sell mine for 11k. Dealer retail is over 14k. At 200k and 5000 hours I've had to replace ujoints and some HVAC fan wiring.
Be sure engine hours divided into total miles give an average mph of 27 or greater. Anything less was, per se, "abusive" as there is too much idle time.
Engine hours are as important as total miles. Especially when one gets up to 200k.
THe front end on the 4wD CTDs and steering have problems to be aware of as to vest fixes. You should educate yourself on auto trans fixes.
The best deal will be on a 2WD with manual trans and eight foot bed. And it will be the best highway tow vehicle as to steering, braking and handling. Do a nationwide search for this combo. There's bound to be a Grandpa finally finished polishing his before he gets into a motorhome.
