This truck performed well under many different conditions with responsive shifting and great steering control. Even with 100,000+ miles, there are minimal rattles and squeaks. It's a solidly built vehicle, I expect that it will run for another 100,000 miles. Maintenance on this truck is easy because the parts are readily available, and the engine area has a lot of room to get in and make repairs and/or adjustments. In 2016, the paint has not faded or peeled, even in the harsh Arizona desert climate. My favorite driving activity in this truck is to run out in the middle of an Arizona monsoon storm to take photographs. The truck can glide easily over rain-soaked roads and even through small creeks formed by rushing water off of the roadway.
