Poor fuel economy

I had to replace the engine head although there was coolant in the tank. Fuel economy is terrible. It now barely makes about 13 mpg.
Overall a very good vehicle.

I bought the truck in 2013 ann it is now 2018. I have put 40,000 miles on it. The only major problem i had was the transmission went out due to a failed torque converter. After repairing the transmission the truck has done great. It hauls a boat well and plows through any amount of snow that we get in Ohio. The timing chains can have problems and to repair the rear timing chains the engine has to be pulled out on the 4.0 SOHC engine.

This truck took a bad rap for the tire thing. I've owned my from 99 and just now put in the shop for the the first breakdown--a thermostat gone bad in 90+ degree Texas.
Loving it

At 37000 miles all four tie rod ends needed to be replaced. This seems too soon. The cup holders and extra storage in the front area is extremely poor. Driver seat does not go back far enough for leg and arm comfort. Performance is very good, and gas mileage is surprisingly good for such a large vehicle. Side to side rocking on rough roads seems excessive.
