We've owned this truck since 2003, the engine has an 8liter, and gives us a great ride, still smooth. We enjoy riding it on the weekends for extended road trips. We have a back cab, just enough for things we can place like ice chests, suit cases, clothing clip on side of small doors. It's a standard, because we wanted no problems with electrical windows. Basic radio, because we have our own tunes to plug into charger. It's the great escape, beautiful dark green color, with nice rims and tires. Dark tint where it's allowable.

I love the comfort of the driver's seat. I have taken this truck on cross country trips from Montana to Texas and back. I never got uncomfortable in the seat. The steering wheel is good and easily adjustable for someone my height. The radio is easy to use and I maintain Sirius XM on it because of dead spots in radio near my work. It has never broken down. I have had regular maintenance done on it. I have the standard box bed which is enough space and the 1500 has enough horsepower to haul everything I need.
