Very Smooth, Very Dependable

I have owned this truck since 2007 and have had very few issues other than regular scheduled maintenance items. It runs as good today, as it did the day I bought it. Very good value for the money.

Very Dependable, Smooth Ride, Lot's $$$$ Invested

I purchased this truck in 2007 and have had nothing but good luck with it since. My intent has always been to keep it so, I kept invested more money to make it very nice. Almost everything is new. Rides down the freeway very smoothly and comfortably. The stereo is crisp and clear with just the right amount of punch. This is a truck for someone that appreciates nice vehicles and wants it for the long haul.

Great truck

Runs like new. Great towing and handling. For the 2 wheel drive type just put a couple sand bags in the bed for winter driving.

Superstrong - now I need a camping trailer

Classy style, almost the last of the good designs before the busted lip bumpers came out. It also had a shell on the back which was an extra

great work truck

This is the best work or play truck I've ever owned. It has the power to pull a 98' Mustang GT on a 300 pound trailor behind it.

wonderful pickup, did everything i asked it to do

i bought this pickup used with 19000 miles on it. i have put about 60000 miles on it and have had to replace only the alternater, waterpump and interior door handle. this pickup is now 11 years old and i have no complaints with it. i have never owned a vehicle that has serviced me so well. i am getting was given a newer pickup so i have to get rid on one of them. well, i wish i could keep them both, but just cant justify keeping them both. i hope my newer one serves me this well! dave
