Get it while you can, prices are going crazy. I get calls quite often asking if I wanna sell our place - what a PITA.

First thing I would do is drain the old fuel out and fill with fresh fuel. If the guage is showing less than 1/4 to close to empty just fill with fresh fuel. Add some fuel cleaner
I would change the plugs those are cheap and easy to do on that truck.
see if there are any codes. If no codes you should be good.
get the truck warmed up well before you go in. Warmed up as in to operating temp 195/210. Some people like to put a lower degree thermostat in the engine to keep the engine temp lower. So make sure they didn’t do that. If the engine temp stays in the 180 range the thermostat is most likely a 180 stat.
air filter and fuel filter. All relatively cheap to replace. Maybe $50 or less if you buy online

Oh wow you weren’t kidding, I just checked lots by my moms house and they have skyrocketed from a resonance 16k for an acre to close to 60k for one.

Spot on! Ended up doing exactly what you said about the gas and then took me about an hour to go through emissions so the truck was nice and warm. Ended up doing my first oil change and added an air filter as well which was really cool.
