Faults:

Nothing went wrong with the truck. Just normal wear and tear. Changed the oil with full synthetic oil every 3000 miles, and put new tires on it during the time I owned it. Sold it hoping to find another with automatic transmission.

Never a lick of trouble with this truck. Shifted smoothly, strong engine, easy switch from 2WD into 4WD High and 4WD Low. Guess I did have to replace the radiator, bumper, grille, after someone ran a red light and hit me up front. While I was at it, I went ahead and put new head lights and tail lights on it.

I bought it for $3500, sold it for $4000 and have been wanting to buy another one ever since! I'm looking for an automatic, with under 200K miles in the same price range and they just don't seem to be available.

About 3 months ago I saw one advertised locally. Automatic, 4x4, Topper, X-tra Cab, mint condition, 16K miles, asking $22,000. It was sold in less than an hour! Had I had the $22,000 at the time, the thing would be sitting in MY driveway and guarantee you, would be the last vehicle I would own in my lifetime! :)

Faults:

Air bag sensor has gone bad around 80K. $250 fix and is no big deal.

Seriously, besides general maintenance, that's the only thing that has gone wrong.

This was my uncle's truck, which I bought from him not too long ago. He gave me the history of the truck, which was very brief as you can see above. He was the original owner and didn't drive it that much. He mostly used it for Home Depot runs and to tow boats or 4 wheelers, which is exactly the type of use I currently use it for, although I find myself driving it more and more because it's just an awesome truck.

I always knew the truck was a good truck, just by the way my uncle talked about it at family events, but I couldn't appreciate what he meant until I owned it. What a GREAT truck!

I was worried that the V6 would be underpowered for this size truck. I was wrong. It has plenty of giddy up, even at high speeds, and excellent torque and transfer when towing. It's shockingly powerful.

The interior is excellently crafted and has held up flawlessly (minus the floor mat, which I replaced due to a hole from where your heel rests when using the gas pedal).

The original paint is holding up well. It's a sharp looking truck even after all these years. The design is timeless in my opinion.

Four wheel drive is still in perfect working order. It's a great trail blazer for my hunting trips (not as good as my Jeep on the trail, but then again nothing beats a Jeep on the dirt).

In all, I am super impressed, and I fully plan on owning this truck a long, long time. If you find one - BUY IT. You will be glad you did.
