Faults:

I had a replace a heater hose, it runs a little hotter than other small trucks I've driven, but it doesn't overheat.

General Comments:

I bought it for hauling garbage to the dump and stuff for redoing my yard. It can haul a lot more than other pickups of it's size and it has good power. It has a lot of torque and the transmission shifts really smooth. The gas mileage isn't as good as I expected, but I am hoping new tires help some.

Faults:

Replaced the battery at 35000 and 65000 miles. Replaced the alternator at 60000 miles.

General Comments:

I bought it new ($5999) with.3 of a mile and have never had to take it back to the shop. I have only replaced the alternator, tires and battery. It has the same plugs, brake pads and rotors that came one the car. It is the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned. It is not a fun vehicle as the seats are not very comfortable and the ride is a little rough. Since I bought this truck I have had a 92 and 95 Ford Taurus SHO's and now have a 2004 Acura TL. I will probably still have the truck when I trade in the Acura.

Faults:

Nothing really other than the expected.

The gear shift lever broke on me and costed $140+ to get a new one.

General Comments:

Its the toughest 4x4 I've ever owned. if I want it to go there it does. I would love to have another in better shape o I could rag this one harder to see what it'll handle. I've heard mitsubishi is bringing it back possibly in 2005.

Faults:

Worn Valve Guide Seals at 151,000

Worn Piston Rings at 151,000

Engine Blowby At 151,000

Besides That nothing major has gone wrong with the car. The bad seals and piston rings are my fault as a result of using a Ram Air Intake that was made for a different car.

General Comments:

Great work truck. Excellent for a mechanic or truck lover.

Nothing really goes wrong with the truck. It always starts, sometimes it idles hard, but that's my own fault. As long as you treat it nice it will last forever. the only thing I've had to do since I've had it is change the tires. I got it for free from my dad, I love it, but unfortuantly have no use for it. Great first car.

Faults:

No significant signs of wear.

General Comments:

This is a great pickup truck exceeded my expectations if only other people knew how reliable of a truck these are. The mighty max is one of the best kept secrets.

Faults:

Water pump failure immediately after purchase.

While attempting to replace the water pump, it required in turn, removing the crank pulley with a harmonic balance puller to remove the lower timing belt cover, faulty design if you ask me.

Uncomfortable Seating arrangement, no possible way to adjust the seat.

Transmission is very rough, produces a lot of odd noises while driving down the road.

Along with that, the rear suspension seems to be making a progressing rattling noise, as if something is coming lose.

U-Joints going out.

General Comments:

I will admit, this truck is not brand new, and I just received it, but the amount of problems encountered immediately after spending $300 to repair minor things has already forced me to sell it, if anyone claims this is a reliable truck, I'm sure a few out there are, but for the majority I have seen, they seem to be problematic, and on top of that, parts seem to be relatively more expensive than most cars/trucks I've owned.

My 1982 Celica at 230,000 miles I have had less problems with in the last 60,000 miles I've owned it, almost nil to none.
