Opinion & info needed on used truck

Went to local Toyota dealership today and looked at and test drove a 2001 2500 4wd Cummins. It was a QC with a Fiberglass Leer cap, Line-X liner, SLT/Laramie trim (or so it said on c pillar). Had PW,PDL, fold-out trailer mirrors, aftermarket AM/FM CD, cloth interior, 50% BFG AT KO 285 tires on stock aluminum wheels. Truck was automatic

Exterior looked good with no obvious damage, etc.
Interior was clean, not worn
Tires were wore evenly
Chassis was clean/ black spray painted (even tailpipe)
Truck seemed to pull to right

Mileage was almost 59k

Asking price was $22,500, "rock bottom" was $20,995.

I got info off door jam and listing below:

VIN: 3B7KF23691G765711
MDH: 022801
TRM: R1C3

QUESTIONS:
1) Any way to tell what rear end ratio?
2) Didnt see any mirror controls, were the 2001 fold out mirrors manual?
3) Does this sound like a good price?
4) Any other things to look for?

Thanks
