Review

My parents purchased this truck brand new, and I inherited it when I turned sixteen, after which I commenced driving it with the crazy assurance of any teenage boy. Although this truck is a beast (18ft long, weighs 6000+ lbs, and with a 7.4L V8 454 it gets terrible gas milage), it handled snow well (once shifted into 4 wheel drive), and my father and I used it to pull stumps out of the ground--you can't beat the torque. Towing two horses and hauling a camper across the country this truck never let us down. The vehicle I still dream about.

Favorite Features

Most comfortable seats I've seen in a truck thusfar; tremendously capable engine (the 7.4L V8 454 cu in); tough and all-around bad-to-the-bone feel

Suggested Improvements

The alternator failed twice, forcing two tow truck experiences; gas milage is Panzer-like; bed, without liner, gets very scratched very quickly

The only weak link on this truck seamed to be the idler arm that had 2 be replaced within the first year.

Review

This vehicle has been reliable and has not needed many repairs, just the normal maintenance tasks. It is set up to be a workhorse- we hauled a cord of wood at a time with no problems. Ride is really nice with lots of leg and head room.

Favorite Features

Extra bench seat in cab for storage, groceries, etc., is convenient.

Suggested Improvements

3rd cab door to access bench seat.
