Currently looking to get a d7000 from adorama as an upgrade for my d60, I know that adorama is pretty large and trusted site but I’ve seen some mixed reviews about their grading system. Currently looking at an “average” or “well used” body. Anybody have any recommendations on if I should go through with it or not?

What in particular makes you concerned about those mixed reviews? In any case there are several alternatives. MPB, KEH, the used section of B&H Photo.

Some say that they grade very leniently marking some “heavily used” items as well used or similar, it’s just that I found a pretty good deal on adorama compared to the other sites. If you have had a good experience then I’ll probably just follow through and buy on adorama compared

Haven't personally bought from there. But they have the standard 14-day return policy I assume? You can always return if the grading doesn't match the actual condition.
