Nice looking truck....BUT
Per the carfax, was originally sold 10/2015 so in roughly 2 1/2 years they're averaging close to 2700 miles a month. In Texas where I live, that MIGHT not be out of the realm of possibilities, but seems like a lot of miles for a NJ vehicle that hasn't been used in some sort of commercial profession.
If it were me, the recalls need to be addressed and closer to 30Kish price range. They're not giving it enough of a price discount for being about 2x more miles than a 2015 vehicle should have for non-commercial use unless someone just loved to be driving it ALL the time.
If you look at trade in value at KBB.com in good condition, they should be in the truck somewhere between 25-28K. If you really like it, try to get closer to 30-31K. The window sticker does show a 5th wheel/gooseneck option. Could be a red flag as far as how the truck was used.
