Needing a pre-inspection for a Ford Ranger that’s only one year-old. It’s pretty much brand-new so just a very simple look over maybe even a quick joyride to see if you notice any issues but it should be 100%. Maybe check undercarriage for rust or damage . Probably don’t need to do this but just being extra cautious

Was so helpful and very professional with testing driving my new car
