I love this vehicle. I bought it after my wife died in a car accident, but I am a traveling missionary and now have a motorhome. I will need to get a tow dolly to pull a vehicle and because this is and AWD vehicle, I would need to remove the drive shaft everytime I move it. The air conditioner does not work. It may be something as simple as a sensor, but may need more. I have the check engine light on and the associated code is the passenger Mass Air Flow sensor error. This puts the vehicle in limp mode occasionally, but even then it is smooth and fun to drive. I replaced both those sensors, but I have been told that the sensor must be calibrated. The DPF was deleted as I kept having issues with it not regenerating properly and then plugging up. Since the DPF has been deleted you won't have any issues with the exhaust getting clogged. The other issue is an oil leak. I replaced the oil filter housing gasket which helped. I just keep adding oil when necessary and when the oil level gets low, the vehicle display will tell you when to add. The rear lift gate does go up automatically, but not down automatically as the pinch sensors need to be replaced. I can show you where the go if you'd like. There is a little damage on the rear tailgate. The plastic for the side mirror LED's came off, so one doesn't always work. You could get a set of these aftermarket. Please see the pictures. That's the bad. Here's the good and what has been done recently. The tires are fairly new. The front have a few hundred miles on them and the two front less than a hundred but they are matching tires. The rear coil springs were replaced with heavy duty springs, and brakes also at that time. The power steering pump, high pressure lines, and rack and pinion were replaced. I also replaced the transfer case and passenger CV axle recently. I replaced the front differential with a used one with about 110,000 miles on it and before I installed the replacement, I put in new axle seals. I installed a new battery in the spring. For some reason I see a battery indicator on the small display, so I don't know if something needs to be programmed to turn that off, but it starts and runs. You will not find any rust on the body. In 2019, I had Ziebart do rust protection. The interior is clean and mostly unstained in the cabin area. The cargo area is stained, but the rest of the interior looks good. Since this is an all wheel drive vehicle, I did take it off road a little in 2020 in the Guadalupe Mountains near (above) Carlsbad Caverns. Highway mileage is close to 30mpg. I think you will enjoy driving it. I am somewhat flexible on the price, but no lowballers, please. The vehicle is a 2009 with some small issues that I can go over with you when you look at it, but it is 17 years old. You can see what the Kelley Blue Book value of the vehicle in one of the pictures Thank you for looking. Please message me with any questions.
