Gas Mileage was great. I traveled 40 miles each way for over a year in this truck. Previous vehicles would take a half a tank of gas each way. Not this truck, it would be a quarter tank as long as I kept up on the daily maintenance. Smooth Ride. I have back issues. Driving in a car or truck hurts me most times. This truck had a very comfortable driving experience for me. Was not too high off the ground. Again I have issues getting in and out of the more bigger common sized trucks. This one was a breeze to get in and out of even for me. This truck lasted me a very long time, 6 years, and it was already very old with over 200,000 miles on it when I bought it. I loved how easy it was to drive. I have driven many other trucks and vans and this one wasn't as hard to get around a parking lot as they were. It was easy to see when backing up and easy to park.
