Anything we need to be looking for as far as possible issues? We have not seen it yet. Just doing the research, it is 6 hrs from us. The one concern we have is it has had 2 owners and the last owner did put 12,000 miles on it but only kept it a year. Seems odd to make a purchase like that and keep it for a year only.

Low mileage is a good thing and you are wise to be concerned. Try to find some history on the truck, perhaps it was wrecked. Do a thorough inspection, or have it done.
