This.
Would also give you the opportunity to look at the truck before forking over all of your money. I did similar when I bought my current car several years ago. I was giving my old car to my son (his first car) so he was happy to go on a road trip with the return being his first lengthy solo. Probably only 500-600 miles each way though.
I wanted to be sure there were no dings or other flaws and the odometer was as I was told. I'm a nit like that with new cars. With a truck, that might not be as big of a deal. Flying rather than driving sort of leaves you hanging if you decide to walk from the deal though, but it's probably worth that small risk.
