interior craftsmanship is poor at best. electronic sensors seem to fail quite often. suspension needed replacement parts too soon. interior lights almost completely burned out.
the little truck that could
My dad bought this truck used 9 yrs ago as light general duty truck. It was the most reliable vehicle we ever owned. It became my first car in 09 when i was 16. In 9 years the only problems were a bad ignition and leaking roof, that's it! The thing was tougher than any truck Ive ever seen, a bumpy gravel road at 60 mph was a walk in the park. I cant believe a truck could get 24 mpg and it may not have much power but that's why its light duty. The 5 spd manual had perfect gear ratios. My truck was mazda ZOOM ZOOM fast but not really haha, topped out at 80. it was eventually rear ended by a truck going 70 mph but i was okay, it got annihilated but saved my life.
My truck
Since purchase new I haven't had one single mechanical problem with this truck. If your truck shakes at highway speeds check your tires and alignment. If your engine is too loud, get a muffler or repair your exhaust system.
little black truck
I have had this truck for 7 years. No big problems at all. Wiper switch failed and the odometer quit at 72000. I am at 98,000 miles so far and see no reason it won't go 200k. Just change the oil every 3500 miles and it'll treat you well.
Props
I have owned this truck for 5 years now and have had zero problems. It plows through snow, has good acceleration, and the interior is still in awesome shape. I had it rust proofed and the paint sealed so it looks like it did 5 years ago. When I am ready to sell this truck, someone is going to get very lucky. My only gripe would be that the 3.0 V6 engine is a bit of a guzzler. I get around 17-21 mpg. For being a 4x4 that is fairly high off the ground, it handles very well and has a tight turning radius. This has been a great truck.
