Should I avoid a used ‘22?

[speedy123]

I’ve been looking at these trucks since the beginning, never bit the bullet to buy one, just too pricey for me here in Canada. Now the used prices are coming down. I’m looking again. I found an ad for a private sale, for a 2022 silver XLT ER, in Canada Includes the 312 package and has max tow, pro power 9.8, electric tailgate, etc. Sounds like a one owner vehicle, currently 88,000 km. Price is very tempting at 49,900 Canadian ($36,500 USD). . I would post the link, but the ad is in French, it indicates a tonneau cover, line X bedliner, and Nokias all-terrain tires, and makes mention of an extended high voltage battery warranty to 10 years 200,000 km. Not sure about what that warranty represents and if it is a manufacturer or an aftermarket one. I’m going to reach out for some more details, Wondering what thoughts are around a relatively higher, mileage, lighting, probably out of basic warranty at this point. I would hope that the owner has the gremlins sorted, but maybe getting rid of it because of problems. I’ll make sure there is a service history to look at and I would get a dealer to do a pre-purchase inspection before considering it , any thoughts?

I have a 22 Lariat that has all the bells and whistles and so far it has been solid as a rock.

My '22 Lariat has been good as well. Recall stuff, and a pesky rear tail lamp that has some condensation in it that isn't covered by warranty or under recall despite it being a known entity.

The truck is overall great.......except the damned price tag like you mentioned.

Anything with that many miles on it hasn’t spent considerable time in the shop waiting for parts. Doesn’t mean it hasn’t had issues, but that’s the beauty of buying used, hopefully somebody else teethed it.

I specifically wanted a 22 because I didn't a truck with deleted features. I waited for the right opportunity and pulled the trigger. You just need to do your due diligence like for every used car buying process. Thankfully this forum is full of knowledgeable members and info.
In your case the truck is obviously out of bumper to bumper warranty. But the HVB has a 10 years warranty which is what all lightnings get from new. And that is what you want as this is certainly the main and most expensive part of this truck.
You would want to know the service history as well as how it was driven. Check if the major software updates were installed as well as the recalls taken care of. Test drive and check it in person if possible.
Report back with additional questions if necessary
Happy hunting!
