I bought this truck at an auction almost 3 years ago- I am a salesman on the road, and this is my every day lifeline. My truck has almost 260,000 kms on it- it does not burn oil (I only use Mobil 1 synthetic) and it does not leave a single drop of any fluid on the pavement. The 4L V6 purrs like a kitten, and still has enough guts to pass on the highway. The paint is in excellent condition, mind you this truck gets washed regularly in every season- moreso in the winter. It also gets waxed at the beginning of every season. It gets constant regular precautionary maintenance. I have replaced all the regular wear and tear items since I bought it (it had 168,000 kms when I got it). Minor front end components (stabilizer links, tie rods...nothing major costly) and an alternater. I average 30-40K a year with 60% highway driving. Brakes, Tires- all wear normally. Shift on the fly 4x4 is a well-loved function in the winter, and boy- is it nice to have fatter tires to drive over things- i.e. curbs!! I will say this little bread box is thirsty- I average 260kms per tank city, 400 kms a tank highway... however it is a square box. I replaced all 4 shocks (no struts in this little monster) a year ago- however do not expect it to ride like a Lincoln- it's rough and jiggly...after all, it's a truck! Great space in the back even with it being a 2-door, the back seats fold down flat and a 5' bathtub in the box fits, door closes! Cargo space... A plus! I have nothing bad to say about this little beast- It's super fun to drive, sporty, looks stylish and I've had great reliability. I've got a list of people that want it when I'm done with it!
