looking at a raider this weekend, standard transmission with 160K miles, it was used primarily as a towed vehicle behind a RV, any concerns I should know about?
owned a '87 6 cyl raider when it was 8 years old, wish known then what I know now, looking for one again.

I guess it is too much, especially with towing history... Why not to consider Pajero? Three times less mileage, diesel... Cheers,

Which model?
If it's the 2.6L 4cyl with the A/T, then maybe I can help!

miles wouldn't be right if it was towed all the time my guess is i'd check wheel bearings and u-joints toward the top of the list then go from there the engine may have less than 100k depending on how much they really drove it. Either way its still a old truck see if they will let you do a compression test on the engine. On the V6 manual 1st to 2nd gear syncros wear out pretty good around those miles so take it for a drive in the morning see how smooth it shifts.
