This is by far the best truck I have ever owned! 4cly 5spd, I used to take it off road and beat the crap out of it in college and high school. Brother hit some black ice and went head on into some K-rail on the freeway without his seat belt on and walked away (the truck still ran great). We had the frame straightened and replaced a fender, hood, grill, and bumper. Still drive the truck everyday and pull a 18ft car hauler and a utility trailer with it regularly. It is at about 280,000 miles and still running strong. Have had no mechanical problems with this truck!

this is my first car and i think its been a pretty good one so far. its got about 195,000 miles on it and it runs like its fairly new. it has ok acceleration, which is good for a young driver i think. great handling as its not too loose and not too tight. the brakes are fantastic because their not so touchy that you barely hit the brake and you slam your head on the steering wheel and not so stiff that you have to slam both feel on them to slow down. i cant really talk about the interior as it would vary because of previous owners, but i will say that the interior of mine feels good and is very comfortable. all in all id say its a very nice starter truck and i would consider getting a newer model later on.

Absolutely awesome, only downside is I get like 15 MPGs but its what you get with a truck. no repair needed and appearance is great. gas costs me about 20 dollars per week but gas is high now and i go 30 minutes or more everyday each way
