Purchased in 2000 for work.

Purchased in 2000 for work. I’m a hospice nurse & was killing our family car as much as I was on the road. Needed 4WD since rural driveways & roads can be challenging. Other than the normal repairs on a 20 yr old truck, this is the most reliable truck, new & used, I’ve ever owned. I wouldn’t trade it for anything on the market & plan on handing it down to my 2 yr old grandson when it’s time.

One of the 1st vehicles i’ve driven.

One of the 1st vehicles i’ve driven. I like how i can see out of this truck well and all the storage compartments and how roomy it is! Definitely has a decent amount of power to get you out of situations and sits well up off the ground. Wish it had better gas milage, but it’s a good truck for places that don’t have terrible weather. I will say I almost flipped this truck pulling out when it was raining really hard, so be careful about losing traction.
