  • This really is the most reliable truck I've owned

    The really is the most reliable truck I've ever owned. Every truck I've ever owned was in the shop at one time or another, for various reasons. Since I've owned it, it has never had any issues, and only needed maintenance work done.

  • Super reliable truck takes a beating.

    Love this truck with the 6.0 v8 requires very little maintenance gets great gas mileage and exceptional power. I have tested this truck in every possible way towing hauling long distance 4 wheeling, and its performance has never disappointed.

  • This truck lasts forever.

    I am sure you coul put 1 Million miles on this truck and not have to pour that much into it. This is a bulletproof vehicle and will last you a good long while.

  • A true powerhouse that will do anything you ask of

    I’ve owned it for 2+ years now, and have only had to do basic maintenance to it other than front wheel bearings (common on all 4wd vehicles). I have the 6.0 gas model, and it ties my 31 ft travel trailer with ease. I also can’t complain about the mpg. For its size and capabilities, 14 mpg is acceptable. I would definitely buy another one.

  • Nice truck but it is overhyped.

    Its a great truck don't get me wrong. There is plenty of power, but I kind of regret not getting something newer. The truck is very dated interior wise.

  • Upgrade!

    It's the truck I always wanted, for the price I could afford. All I wanted was a Duramax 2500 Deisel with the LBZ to tow our Toy Hauler and I would've added a back up camera. This one has at least $10k in upgrades! I've always owned 4WD trucks and SUV'S and upgrade them a bit to beef them up. But this truck is maxed out on upgrades! I wouldn't have paid for all of the upgrades myself, but they all came with the truck! I am thankful that the previous owner took great care of it! This'll be my other forever truck cause I gave my Tacoma to my son so he can go on his adventures!

  • The most reliable vehicle I've ever owned

    The most reliable vehicle I've ever owned, at present time who is 24,000 miles away from hitting the 1,000,000 mile mark, it has hauled everything I've ever put behind it without any issues and has never left me stranded on the side of the road, I am a construction roadwork or during the summer and I Haul New travel trailers to the dealerships in the winter time. The truck is still all original with the exception of a new transfer case this past February

  • 6.0 liter has power to spare

    This truck is very nice to drive, rides smooth and being a 5 speed manual gets about 13.8 in town and 16.7 on the highway unloaded. The air conditioning works great. Turning radius is quicker than my 1993 Chevy k1500.

  • Best truck I've ever owned

    It's a beast. Pulls whatever I need and gets great mileage doing it. Upgrade your tierods though. IFS makes for an awesome ride on hardball but you have to upgrade to stronger parts for more reliability if you wanna take it offroad
