"Best & most reliably vehicle that I have owned"

"15 years and over 375,000 and it continues to run beautifully. I change the oil about every 6,000 miles and that's abour it. If i keep it a few more months, I will probably purchase 4 new tires. It is currently on it's third set, yes, you read this correctly. This truck does't even wear out tires. Other that one front wheel bearing and the catalylic converters, it has been wonderful. Can't say enough good about it."

The ride is much smoother and more comfortable even when you have pot holes. There have been no mechanical issues and we use it for work and pleasure. Works great for hauling hay, feed and gravel as well as taking a boat to the lake."
