I don't know if I would call it a red flag. Maybe for you, but damn, it had
18 miles on it at the first transfer and 7 at the second. The truck only
has 22K on it right now. It's not like it's an abused truck or anything with
high miles.

The first title transfer was at 18 miles, the second at 7,620. The truck
currently has 22,364, so that second transfer wasn't to the dealership,
unless of course the dealership put nearly 15,000 miles on the truck, in
which case it really isn't true to say it had only one owner.
There might be a reasonable explanation for that second title event, like
perhaps the original owner went through a divorce and the vehicle title was
transferred from his wife's name or into his name soley or something along
those lines (or maybe the 6x6 modification required some title change?). If
nothing else, the discrepancy is a red flag.
