Great truck for the money, excellent ride, and a lot of head, and leg room. Great warranty, nice six speed! Nice body features. Gas mileage a bit costly, but now days what isn't?

3.7 v6, 6 speed manual. It's the only (seemingly) close ratio, long handled,6 speed bolted to a painfully under powered (yet terribly inefficient) engine in a 1/2 ton pick up, I've ever come across. Unless it was being towed, 16 mpg hwy is about as good as it gets. In hot weather (100 daily where I live) fuel efficiency fades even worse. The speed limit is 80 here, but it wouldn't stay there, and at 11mpg, I quit trying. (My 71 Buick with a 7 ltr engine got 13). Had it checked out repeatedly, and other than spark plugs (normal maintenance) the diagnosis was the same each time.. "loose nut on the steering wheel", for expecting more. I drive A LOT for work (50K a year). I'm definitely getting something "economical" next.. like a Suburban, or an antique Rivera. It's a great concept, but the engineering just isn't there. Heaviest load it has carried for me was groceries for a week. A/C evaporator absolutely floods the passenger side floor until you do the sealant mods on the firewall under the hood, passenger side, between the firewall and the right bank converter. (It's a job). 153,000 miles, 3 clutches (throwout bearing each time), 3 batteries, tail shaft seal, and pinion seal. It's gotta be a heat issue, and since I'm not an automotive design engineer, I'm going to buy a truck that had engineers on staff when it was built. Update almost a year later-I guess all I had to do was talk a bunch smack about it, because it’s been fine ever since, but hwy mpg is still embarrassingly low and painful at 75-80 mph=11-13 mpg. Those are normal freeway speeds where I live. When you’re driving a truck that gets 11mpg hwy, that truck needs to be a 4wd, 1 ton, long bed dually, with a 7.5 or 8 ltr engine upfront. It gets 16 in the city, no problem, but it clearly doesn’t have enough torque in normal operating rpm range (2k to 2300) to push the box through the air on high speed limit freeways.

the wet passenger floor board in my 2007 raider was in my case caused by a stopped up air conditioner drain line.
