CTT, look at the inside of the trailer hitch itself.. How badly is it scratched up/rusted? Lots of scratches, lots of rust = lots of hauling.
You didn't say what the engine was in the truck, so it's hard to say how good a deal that is.. It's always been my experience that smaller engines are great on gas but die quicker because they have to work harder.
If that's the Cummins Diesel then the trans is the Allison trans and it's strong as an ox. See if you can find out what trans is in the truck and then do a quick web search to see if there's any negative comments about it.

It's a 1500 he said, so not a CUMMINS(and ALLISON NEVER came in DODGE trucks, EVER). Is it the 4.7L or the HEMI? 2WD or 4X4? How loaded out is it? Honestly it sounds a bit on the high side to me for price wise, but without knowing all the options it is hard to say.
