    Great truck, power, comfort and fuel efficiency.

    Best diesel built. Cummins dependable, easily upgraded. Large, comfortable 4 door cab, console folds to seat 3 in front and back. Lots of storage. Great pulling (3.73 gear) and fuel mileage ( up to 20 mpg) cruising. Typically run 400,000 miles with reg. maintenance.

    A Great Buy!

    After I test drove this truck, I told my wife it looked and drove like a brand-new vehicle. Despite being 14 years old, with two previous owners, the truck's leather seats showed only a couple of small scuffs. The carpet showed no signs of wear. The exterior, a beautiful silver, still shone and had only two very small chips in the paint. A beautiful truck indeed! As to practicality, I should note that we bought this diesel one-ton to tow a 40-foot fifth-wheel RV. The Cummins 5.9L engine clearly will get the job done. Without a tow load, it's averaging 25 miles per gallon on the highway! We made our decision to buy so quickly that we didn't discover some of the truck's many features until we got it home! It came with a bedliner and a locking tonneau cover. The tailgate locks too. It has a factory-installed engine block heater and dual batteries. A crew cab, it has four doors. Both side mirrors are heated, and they fold out for extended viewing when towing. The tires are brand-new. The interior boasts a Kenwood CD player and radio, Infiniti speakers, leather-wrapped tilt wheel with cruise control, heated front seats, separate heat/AC controls for each side of the vehicle, a center console with two large storage bins, height-adjustable brake and gas pedals, sturdy fold-out cup holders in front and back, back-up camera with in-dash screen, storage pockets on each door, power seats in the front, a sliding rear window, and tinted windows.

    CARLOS A LOPEZ

    DEPENDABLE AND GOOD RIDE. Has very good field of view when driving could use a backup camera. The CPU needs a better ground and an easier way to flash it so its not so expensive. Only very expensive equipment can be used to repair the CPU and reprogram it to each van every two years this is unacceptable.

    2004.5 Quad 4WD SRW 5.9 HO Cummins

    If you need to tow ..WOW this will pull a house easily and the HO engine is refined and economical. Loaded with features from the original owner. Love it! Bought used from a diesel mechanic and nothing but oil, fuel filters and fuel. since I've had it. The tranny is the weak spot but po installed a heavy duty rebuilt so I had to have this one. Cummins makes a fantastic engine.
