I have had my truck (brown bear) for over a year and it has been an amazing truck. With oover 200,000 miles under the hood and the most major mechanical problem was replacing the fuel pump. This truck is smooth and reliable. A great buy.

Durability, Looks, and Performance

Suggested Improvements

replacing the factory audio system was difficult and still looks funny

I have owned this truck for just over one year now, and haven't had any problems with it yet. Just put on new tires and dual exhaust. This truck has plenty of power pulling a trailer or anything life throws at you. The only bad thing is that im getting around 11 mpg in town, but that dosent bother me, its a truck after all. I plan to keep it till it dies.

Favorite Features

Favorate feature is the sound of it running and accelerating. Would definetly suggest an exhaust for it.

Suggested Improvements

Only things to improve is the radio set up and that's it.

I bought this truck from my uncle about a year ago. He bought it new in late 1993 I believe. He put the first 185,000 miles on it and I plan on driving it until it dies. The only problems that he ever had was the starter and a short in the brake lights (simple fixes) The only repairs I have done to it was a new distributor cap and wires due to a rough idle (first time the cap had ever been replaced) It does not leak or smoke at all. I average 15mpg city. Some simple modifications I have done for the appearance are: flowmaster system, 285-75-16 tires and later model stock wheels, and I cranked the torsion bars about an inch to level it out and ensure the tires do not rub off-road..

Favorite Features

Body design, front grille, comfortable ride on and off-road

Suggested Improvements

Tighter turning radius, brighter headlights, higher quality stereo(even though the built in equalizer in the dash is nice)

Review

I bought this truck with just 6,000 miles on it in 1995. It now has 220,000! Only the expected repairs have been needed over the years such as fuel pump, alternator, radiator, fuel filter, brakes etc. I've taken very good care of it and just this last winter some rust has begun to show up at the bottom of the extended cab part and bottom of right door. I've seen others that have rusted much younger. The seats (wear like iron) and ride are very comfortable with hwy mpg of about 19. Not too bad for 14 yrs. Still, I use it for my business and need something that looks newer. I will miss this truck and would recommend one anytime. (might just give it to my daughter)

Favorite Features

Durability, comfort.

Suggested Improvements

I think for the year 1994 it was top notch.
