Critical Review

"questionable vehicle"

My experience was probably atypical but I paid for an out-of-warranty valve job at 124,565 miles. A definite quality issue so due diligence is recommended.

Great pick up, it goes and goes and goes!

My husband refers to this pick up as the big lighter of trucks, reliable, comfortable drive and easy to do maintenance on. No major engine issues ever, replaced tires, radio, cooling system and it runs great. Both our boys learned to drive in it and it's going strong at 150k miles.

Best truck ever
Pros

Fun to drive 5 speed, decent gas milage, tough

Cons

More power?

I've owned this truck for over 5 years. I hit a deer in a national forest when I first got it and did some body damage but still runs strong as ever. The 2.4 5 speed is sneaky peppy. I have had very few to any problems over than normal wear and tear. Doesn't burn oil and I am a delivery driver it and drive daily many miles. 198,000 and still going strong. I love this little truck..have even pulled a boat with it one time.
