A lot of service info might not have mileage attached, so he just lied on the report. Maybe check with NHTSA for some guidance?

Here’s the Carfax link:

The dash on the truck now says 56k miles too.

@Davin
Yeah, lots of diagnostic tools can change it. Looks like someone bought it cheap without a mileage record, then rolled it back for resale. Now it’s your friend’s word against theirs.

Is there a way to upload that service history to Carfax?

If you have a good connection at the dealer, maybe they could send Carfax the invoices directly. They’ll update everything, including mileage, but it might take a while.

Probably rolled back the mileage before selling it to the dealership. Definitely worth a call.

Honestly, I wouldn’t be shocked if the dealer is in on it too.

Funny you say that… I was just thinking maybe they sent a kid to do their dirty work.

So he used to have a Ram Rebel. I checked his Instagram and he’s got pics with a BMW, an RS3, and even a Lamborghini in his profile. Starting to think he’s done this kind of thing before. Says he’s only 20.

For that price, he got a steal. I’d pay that for a Gen 2 in a second.

Gen 2 over Gen 3?

Gen 2 for $30k is way better than Gen 3 for $70k.

Then get a Raptor R 2024, of course.

TRX is great but just be aware, it’s a thief magnet.
