I love this truck. I purchased it from my grandmother after my grandfather passed away. It is an extremely reliable vehicle and has served me well for going on 12 years. My grandfather owned it prior to me and took great car of it. I was not knowledgeable about cars during the first few years of driving it and probably did not do the proper maintenance and preventative care that I should have; however, it still continued to run fine. Now that I am more knowledgeable about cars and I do the proper maintenance, etc., I still runs perfectly. The only issues I have had during my 12 years of ownership have been a worn belt, engine cylinder misfiring (once), and my emergency brake cables/housing breaking during a hard turn. When things do go wrong with this vehicle, the repairs are typically pretty cheap and easy compared to other, new model cars or ones from various other makers. It is only a normal cab, with a large bed, however, for my needs I do not need a ton of space in the cab. The large bed has come in handy a number of occasions from doing projects like hauling multiple tons of gravel to more menial tasks like moving king and queen size beds and other furniture. My primary complaints about this vehicle are the below average gas mileage (somewhat compensated for by the large fuel tank) and the small amount of space in the actual cab, which makes driving with more than one other person very uncomfortable.

I like the fact that this vehicle has a 30-gallon gas tank. I purchased this used from a plumbing company, so perhaps the tank was an upgrade, but it appears to be standard on the extended bed version which I have. The eight-foot bed length is super handy for hauling extra equipment. I typically haul my kayaks in the bed, and they fit surprisingly well.
