best truck i"ve ever had
i bought this truck as a family vehical.after 1 year of having the truck i started my own landscaping company. it had to do the job of a bigger truck. i pulled a 7600lb skid loader 6 days a week, not counting the trailer and 1500lb rake attachment.we just got another truck to do the towing,but still use the truck. it took us 3yrs.to get another truck.never a problem with this 1500.
One time to the shop
I have had no problems with this pickup. The only time it has seen the garage was to replace the driver bench seat that had a manufacturers defect. The gas mileage is not so good.
Take your chances
The 4WD works. This vehicle has never left me stranded and has always started. Transmission sounds like a handfull of nuts & bolts in a clothes dryer when engaging reverse. Huge oil consumption problem and spark-knock under most any kind of load. It uses a quart of oil at every other tank of gas in city driving and a quart of oil every tank-ful on the highway. The dealer re-set the computer to reduce the spark-knock but caused the 5.9 litre V-8 to behave like a slant six. There is rust beginning to show on the bottom edge of the doors and on the rear bumper. Like anything else in today's disposable society, pay your money and take your chances.
She's a great looking pig!
terrible gas mileage. Problems with A/C. Needs a new evaporator. owners manual states it will run fine on regular fuel 87 octane with minor pinging. The truck PINGS like Crazy on regular fuel! ( engine is a 318 V8 )
Reliable Truck
Purchased new to tow 3600lbs boat. Traveled to KS, TN, KY, VA, FL inside of 2 weeks and really enjoyed the trip. Great power, acceleration, and pulls like no other truck I've owned. A smooth ride on the Michelin tires; not so using Bridgstone AT. Dash top cracked after about 5 years. Minimum worrisome problems with regular maintenance performed. I did rebuild transmission at 84k; replace A/C system at 79k. Now I feel confident it is good for several more years and another 80k miles! Yes - I would buy another one.
