"This is a good truck so far, had the tailgate and some premature rusting on the grill repaired for free at the dealer. Common problems reported for this model include premature brake wear, spongy brake pedal, hard shifting transmission (1st to 2nd gear) and a poorly-made u-joint on the steering column (replaced by dealer for $100). The 2 wheel drive models get great gas mileage and the moror is very smooth."
