I'm looking at buying a 02/03 Crew Cab, Long Bed 4x4.  I haven't decided on the SE or SC yet, but with gas prices I'll probably lean toward the SE.

I had a '98 Reg Cab, 4cyl, 4x4 so I'm familiar with the truck but 4 or 5 years can make a difference. 

Is there anything I should be on the lookout for as I'm checking trucks out?  Is there any typical problems I should expect to see as it gets up there in mileage?

Thanks,

Brian
