    I’d have a mechanic look it over
    Recap tires ?
    Brake shoe condition ?

    condition of air ride suspension ? Shocks bushings etc ?
    Eyeball the frame and make sure it’s not tweaked or sagging

    does it have a recent dot inspection ?

    53'? I hear they are on the heavy side. 12-13,000lbs maybe..

    Edit. So there is a 2020 53' rear axle slide on TPaper. Say 11,481lbs tare weight..
