Faults:

First up was rebuilding the transmission (re-builder said it had been rebuilt previously, so this vehicle is on at least it's third tranny).

Then the transfer case went out. Six months later it went out again (i use my 4 wheel drive).

Brakes need to be done almost as frequently as oil changes.

The rear end of the vehicle sags.

The check engine light comes on anytime you take a long trip. A new max airflow sensor and $500 later it still comes on during long trips.

The motor mount broke off the frame, requiring the frame to be re-welded. (140,000 miles)

The front fog-lights literally fell off the vehicle at about 120,000 miles.

The tape deck quit at about 100,000 miles, and the six disc changer quit working at about 170,000 miles.

The right rear door cannot be opened from the inside, and was very difficult to open when we purchased the vehicle at 80,000 miles. It is not a child lock issue.

One of the key fobs quit working shortly after we bought the vehicle.

General Comments:

This is a very nice vehicle. The center console is nice and informative, the off road capability is quite good (when it works), and it is equally comfortable on the road at 75 MPH or off road at 10 MPH.

It is well designed truck that holds the family and all of our gear for long vacations very well.

If it wasn't in the shop so often I would really like this vehicle.

Faults:

I replaced the automatic transmission after I purchased the vehicle. I had it checked out first to be on the safe side. I believe the truck was towed behind a motor home by previous owner.

I replaced brakes on front and rear plus new front rotors at 155,000 miles.

I replaced dash lamps and console lamps.

General Comments:

This truck handles like a dream on and off road.

The seats are very comfortable, I really like the pull-out extension for better knee support/comfort.

All knobs, control switches, etc. are very clear and easy to see and use.

Faults:

Lower ball joints 55,000 and 130,000 miles.

Stabilizer links about 60,000 and 110,000 miles.

Front brakes about 75,000 miles.

Rear brakes, about 90,000 miles.

Left upper ball joint, about 90,000 miles.

Shocks, 90,000 miles.

Fuel pump at 110,000 miles.

Parking brake shoes at 110,000 miles.

Front differential axle seals 120,000 miles.

Rear pinion seal 152,000 miles.

Automatic transmission overhaul at 153,000 miles.

General Comments:

Except for the lower ball joints, reliability is very reasonable.

I have gotten 20 mpg on trips in warm weather, but 16 mpg is typical.

Good performance for a small truck, I tow about 2,500 pounds with it.
