Our truck is 17 years old and is still going strong! Sure, it has needed routine maintenance over the years but at her age, a little work is normal. We've driven her across the country, across town and across tough terrain with no issues. The engine now has over 200K miles and runs like a champ. With an optional tow package, it has carried heavy loads on trailers and with phenomenal results. The long bed is great for hauling lumber, tools, and even for moving a household over a thousand miles! The 4 wheel drive is great for driving in the northern winters or for driving around a field in Texas. Our family of 5 fits comfortably in the cab on road trips, and with a nice stereo, the trips go faster. Heat and A/C work wonderfully. Even as old as it is, the truck is still running strong and while there is some surface rust, it is still a beauty.

Being a small person I feel protected in the size of the truck. Including having the non factory brush guard on the front and sturdy bumper on the back. It has been a sore in our side sometimes because of the age of it but it has been dependable for us.
