    Odometer seems low for a 2013. I would want to know why it's that low. Could have been wrecked and rebuilt. And you should also be able to take it somewhere to get inspected before buying. Take it to a shop you trust, be willing to pay for a couple/few hours of labor, and ask them to tell you everything that's wrong with it.

    Ryder uses recycled oil. I recommend you steering clear of Ryder.....

    Probably just an ex-rental truck with the bare minimum maintenance needed to keep it on the road.
