Everything works and has been meticulously maintained. Engine runs smooth and doesn’t skip a beat no-matter what you ask of it. Fuel economy is about 16-17mpg in the city and if you drive like a sane human being, I’ve got it running at about 21mpg on highway with 4 people and luggage on a trip to Canada (according to in-dash economy gage readout); much better without anyone. Body is in perfect shape; save for a few nicks and scratches by the previous owners (shown in pics). Wife is going back to finish nursing school full time so I need to sell quickly. This truck was one of 3 cars we own and was mainly used for weekend outings and trips. I just refinanced to a lower rate/payment a few months ago hoping I could keep it but that’s proving to be too hard … take over payments ($245/mo.) and we’ll call it a deal! I will get it Maryland inspected for the Buyer too! We owe approx. $12.6K so that or best offer is what I’m asking.

EDIT: Just thought I'd add this little tidbit 'cos people are gonna wonder what a truck like this does in MPG's ... just did a little test last night and got 22+ mpg on the highway. Using cruise control and keeping it at ~ 65mph and all speed changes were done by the cruise control (no brake or throttle pedal used). 75mph and economy drops. Stay ~2secs (safe distance) behind a tractor trailer and economy improves.
