Ole Reliable

January 25, 2020
By NYer from New York City, NY
Owns this car

Was gifted this vehicle from a friend returning to the military in 2009 and the only repairs were the belts (1), fuel tank (1), front inner tire rods (1), alternator (1) and of course the basic wear and tear functionalities. The truck sat for almost a whole year and cranked right up with a battery change. It originally came from Arkansas to Texas to Maryland and now New York with over 211K miles on it; even used on off-road camping trips upstate NY, NJ and still running to this day. No problems getting stuck in snow. Just a well made sturdy truck!

220,000 miles and still going

November 5, 2019
By nasa from everett, wa
Owns this car

Can't seem to break this SUV so I can justify buying another. Other then the nickle and dime stuff that breaks, e.g. knobs, switches, plastic, buttons, etc, the mechanical is bullet proof. All I've ever done is follow the service recommendations. The only major glitch was the radiator started to leak, which was replaced with a new one. I understand just the motor and transmission are now worth more then the entire vehicle.
