I wanted a small pickup truck for running around town and picking up stuff. I use the pickup for everything from picking up groceries and trash to light hauling of lumber, rocks, and lawn supplies. I have even loaded up the 4-wheeler for off-road ventures! It gets pretty good gas mileage, but I got it for purposes of keeping my regular car from getting all messed up. I can load stuff in the bed of the pickup rather than filling up the trunk of the car. I've taken it camping and up into the mountains on occasion--it seems more likely to enjoy the mountains that I am...
Story
I put the 4 wheeler in the bed and went exploring in the Bookcliff mountains of Colorado.
Pros
It gets 22+ miles per gallon. It is very low maintenance (as far as repairs). It looks like a pickup truck, not a robot. It has a pickup bed that I can load with dirty stuff.
Cons
The paint used for coloring the panels is not particularly robust (granted, it is 17 years old). The parking brake is foot operated, not a stick. The sound system is Spartan, at best. The sliding window behind the cab is easy to break, depending what you put in the bed.
