Looking at this 2012 gen 1. Took pictures of some of the rust and shocks. I can tell the shocks aren’t in good shape but how is the rust looking? Sorry if they’re not the best pictures I was on a time crunch when taking these.
Edit: Thanks guys, I might need to post pictures to get some feedback lol

Take a pressure washer and clean everything under it . The shocks look normal for the mileage. If it has a sunroof check the cab corners . Get yourself a screwdriver and small hammer use the screwdriver to poke around suspected areas and the hammer to sound it . Rust sounds different than solid metal and will usually just fall off .

Being in the land of road salt and chloride treatments...
I know all too well where most vehicles rust and fall apart.
The pics don't really show the critical areas that you are going to want to look at.
The cab corners and rockers are going to be first to get ate up.
Take as close a look at those as possible then check wheel wells and the rest.
