I have own this vehicle since I purchased it as part of a 'program vehicle' sale. I purchased the vehicle in 2005 with less than 4,000 miles on it and have put a little over 123,000 miles on it since. It is extremely reliable as I haven't experienced any major repairs and it has been extremely easy to keep the vehicle maintained. It has enough room to travel with additional luggage and supplies and it rides extremely well on many long trips I have taken across multiple states.

This is a dependable, resilient, smaller truck. Some shorter ladies might find the step up to the cab off-putting, but it works for me. No major problems with the vehicle, only some minor cosmetic issues that did not appear until well into its useful life: snapped trim, fading and peeling of the steering column, driver side seat belt issues and tail light replacement. Again, these issues only appeared at 10+ years into the useful life. This has been a great vehicle, good for bringing the dog along and hauling flea market finds. It has also been very good on gas for the commute. Reasonable replacement parts and easy to service yourself. This baby is still kicking and will be into the foreseeable future. Comparable to the Ford Ranger and therefore very easy to find used parts, at least around here. Well worth the investment and long since paid off with no real drop in usability. Easy to park and the insurance is reasonable. Also the paint job has been very durable. I would definitely purchase again. This one is a keeper.

Love this vehicle. It's a solid reliable vehicle. Interior is pretty basic, a lot of "plastic" but not built for pretty. It was built for tough work. Has a long extended bed that is great for moving, transporting large objects. It is great on gas and insurance is cheap. Mainly I use it as a back up. And it always does the trick. Every time I drive it, I question why I don't use it as a primary vehicle. The trim on the vehicle is all very basic but still makes a nice added touch. When I bought it, it had a blown head gasket. After that was fixed (due to a previous owners neglect) it ran like a top and has ever since. Also, very easy clutch.
