I have owned my truck since 2008, and it now has over 190,000 miles on it. It still has the original engine and transmission, and I have not had a problem with either! It has been a very reliable family vehicle, even after an accident caused by black ice five years ago. My son was in the backseat during the accident, and both of us walked away without a scratch, even though there was a lot of damage to the truck. It is a very safe vehicle. I love how smooth the drive is. I don't hear the road noise or feel it like I do in other trucks. The backseat has a ton of leg room; my husband, who is over 6 feet, can fit back there comfortably. It doesn't get the best gas mileage: 11 in town and 18 on the freeway. I also have issues with the speedometer and the oil pressure gauge "sticking" when the whether is extreme.
