2022 Service History: Help me understand this before possible purchase...

[Storx]

I wanted to ask the masses to see if there is anything on here that is super concerning on this vehicle I'm looking to possibly buy, the price is 38k which seems reasonable for Extended Range... I don't know the common issues with the first year Lightnings. The truck is in very good condition overall. There is a few rock chips on the front, but looking under it and inspecting it over i don't see much that looks bad. There is a small wrinkle in the drivers door interior i don't understand, but everything seemed to work when i test drove the truck. It drives just like other lightnings i have test driven.

Truck: 2022 Lariat ER 511A w/Max Tow Package 54k miles.
Carfax says clean title, 1 owner.

It seems the previous owner was very strict on maintenance overall and did everything through the dealership. It looks like it had the A/C repaired early on, but not a continuous issue. The test drive the A/C was working well.

Edit:

Just heard back from the sales person, i asked for further details on the repair of the HVAC/Motor/Gauge. HVAC compressor was replaced due to low cooling output, drive motor was apparently replaced due to abnormal noise, and gauge cluster was replaced due to inoperable gauge cluster according to service details i was just given.

Looks fine to me. It looks like whatever issues came up were resolved.

Lariat ER with Max Tow is a great combination. It's what I drive.

Not sure if this is the same thing, but when I purchased the extend warranty from Granger in Aug ‘22 it was booked as AC Repair in my service history. I have never had an issue with the AC.

Hopefully the truck is now fully debugged of issues, BTW IMHO 2022 Lariat ER is the best trim level.

Agree with @TaxmanHog . I was Fortunate enough to get one of the First Trucks released on the West coast and have had very few problems with it (exception being that damn rear lightbar). I’m at nearly 80k miles with HVB SOH sitting @ a solid 96.5%. This truck has been great!

Looking at all the service records, the owner brings the truck in to the dealer to air up the tires. Seriously this person has 23 different service dates.
He either loves the truck or loves his service writer / mechanic.. sure some.were real issues, some tire rotation and cabin filters. But seriously 23 times in 3 years?

Yeah truck history looks solid.
As long as the main recalls and software updates are done you are good to go. Ask the dealership to give you the status of the 12v battery (somthing like a rotunda test). Interestingly service history shows lift kit early on. So i guess it was dealer installed?
