I love this truck, but my commute means that I have to let it go. I have run it up and down from NYC to Richmond, VA many times without any problems. I bought it well-used because my research showed that these trucks just KEEP going. The previous owner had not done any work on it, so I needed to give it some TLC. New tires, shocks, tie rods, ball joints, battery and bearings have given it a completely fresh set of running gear. It has a served me well and it is still a relative baby. Get's about 20 MPG on the highway and 15 city. It loves the cold weather starts up right away. Take it for what it is, a dependable work horse that you can count on.
