It was a solid and rugged pickup. It had lots of room and could carry a lot of weight. It made the trip from Chicago to Seattle fully loaded down with no problem. Pretty good gas mileage, and it could take a lot of abuse and continue to run long enough to get where I was going. It did need some major work at various times, and it never had much power, but it was adequate. It didn't look great, and it wasn't that comfortable, but I didn't mind when it got dented either.
