Bought new This has been the most reliable car I have

Bought new This has been the most reliable car I have ever owned. As a retired mechanic I do all my own maintenance and repair work, and in the 23 years of ownership, I have spent less than $1000 on failed parts Not the most comfortable car Definitely not the fastest, but, the best transportation money can buy.

Oldie, but goodie

This car is reliable and I love the 4x4. It performed well as a commute car. Always started up easily in winter or summer. AC and heat work well. Happy to drive.
