Had some problems with computer in beginning. Once it was replaced at 27000 mile no problems since. A/C went out at about 38000 and had to replace compressor. No other major problems with truck. Been a very reliable work truck.

Had Oxygen sensor, Coil, and Fuel pump replaced under the 36000 mile warranty. Haven't had a problem with the truck since. Now have 98000 miles. Brake pads need replacing every 25-30K miles. I have been disappointed with the soft brake peddle and the stopping distance. Just doesn't feel assuring on emergency stops. Towing has been great, fuel economy beats all other full size 4x4 trucks (18 Hi-way, 15 city, and 14 pulling trailers in 3rd gear.)

We, too, have had the oxygen sensor replaced; radio control push buttons replaced and have a shaky seat track on the passenger's side. Also, after letting people in the back from the passenger's side, the seat then has to be slammed back into the lock position or you slide back and forth. In the winter, the soda gets warm and in summer the coffee gets cold, all because of the cup holder position in front of the main vents. Overall, though, a very reliable truck.

This is one of the best trucks I have ever owned, driven daily by my wife, a school teacher. I took it over about 5 years ago and have had no problems, only scheduled maintaince.
