Inspect underneath the LR. Good idea to request photos before going to look if a hike.

Current location means squat. Vehicle history check may help eliminate wasting your time looking. There are plenty of rust buckets in what we may consider rust free areas. Damn yankees move south and trade in or sell. Some southern rednecks love to drive through salt water at the beach.

I have heard that some of the 03 ROW models had the CDL as an option but I can not verify this.

Ooops, I think you said that. sorry
