Buying a truck from up north??

I recently was in the same boat. My advice is to download the following apps on your phone - CarGurus, CarMax, AutoTrader, Cars.com. CarMax is a little on the high side but they guarantee that the cars they sell have not been flooded or had frame damage. I grew up in Michigan, and yes cars rusted because of the salt used on the roads. Now, they are built much better - body panels are sealed, undercoatings are much better. I wouldn't be worried about something 2 years old. Someone said cars/trucks selling in central Florida were cheap - made me laugh. I just spent months looking for something used - bought a new 2017 Ram they were dying to get rid of for less that some of the used ones I had on my list. Bighorn is a great trim level - gives you the nice console, fog lights, backup camera, Bluetooth, nav, etc. I just couldn't get over the cheap material used on the seats of lower trim levels. Good luck finding one.
