Default Looking for Feedback 2003 Astro

I am looking at buying a 2003 Astro AWD and just curious if I should be cautious of anything? It is a 2003 with around 85,000 miles. I am buying cause I need the room, but this one has a trailer hitch and I have a 2 place snowmobile trailer and 2 snowmobiles I want to trailer with it. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Be aware that the stock fuel pumps seem to be good for about 100k miles. If buying from a dealer have them put on a new fuel filter as part of the deal, this will allow the pump to work a little easier. Have an independent shop check the idler arms, these are a known wear items.
