The reliability and maintainability of this truck are exceptional. The build quality is good. The ride is comfortable, and the truck handles well. The power output is not lacking, in fact it outperforms every other 1/2 ton I compared against and approaches 3/4 ton capability. The only complaint I have is that it consumes more gasoline than similar V8 1/2 ton pickups, though not by a wide margin. I have found the truck to be extremely useful, especially for moving furniture and building/landscape supplies for my home. The 4wd system is incredible, even with all season tires I never lost traction in the snow or mud this past winter and I could always get up my 20% grade driveway.

I LIKE THE POWERR OF THIS TRUCK ON AND OFF THE HIGHWAY. THE CAB HAS ALOT OF ROOM THAT MOST TREUCKS DONT HAVE TODAY.I FOUND THAT A FULL SIZE PICK UP HANDELS VERY GOOD AND ALSO IT RIDES SMOOTH FOR A PICK UP TRUCK. THE INSIDE OF THE TRUCK CAB IS JUST LIKE RIDING IN A CAR. THE TRUCK WILL CARRY A BIG LOAD AND NOT FEEL LIKE IT IS BOGGING DOWN AT ALL.
