The only options I purchased were automatic transmission and air. Everything else was standard right down to the rubber floor mats. This truck suits me perfectly. Reliable, good gas mileage and good looks for a work truck.
Reliable but thirsty

I bought the 4.0 litre V6 with auto transmission because it could tow 6500 lbs, 3000 lbs more than the 5 speed manual. I tow a 3500 lb RV, sometimes with a 15 ft boat in tandem. This puts me at maximum combined payload & towing capacity but the truck is up to the task, if I take it easy: about 60 mph on the flats, up to 75 mph downhill. Towing in a headwind, the tranny constantly downshifts but turning the overdrive off helps keep it in 5th gear. A manual tranny would have been better, or more power. Mileage is not the best: about 19 mpg highway, much less in the city. I drive like an old guy, easy on the gas, coasting not braking, and at the speed limit. The truck is great otherwise.
A Winner

This truck is affordable, reliable, and a blast to drive. The performance is great and this little truck is powerful for its class. Exterior and interior design is fantastic and stylish. I can't say enough good things about this truck!
Plain truck for real men

Needed a work truck. Got it and more. 5-speed, AMFM, cruise, split rear window, rear bumper, bed liner in a simple truck. Bench seat is a real winnder. Rides and handles like a truck.. do we have a problem here? Reliable, long warranty. Choose over its twin, the Ford Ranger for a better price and longer warranty.

Back seats suitable for children only. Great for towing trailer. Used with lightweight camper. Very good gas mileage. Still running great with 100,000 miles plus. Biggest down side is rusting of frame. Cleaned / sandblastef once, undercoated every few years still rust is advancing. Think rust of frame will be its demise. Update-frame rusted through in several places. The rest of the vehicle was still in very good operating condition. Engine and transmission no problems. Still running great after 90,000 miles. Biggest fault is tendency for undercarriage rust. Other problem area, replaced 4wd actuator twice. UPDATED 8/11/2019 Attempted several times to have airbags replaced at dealer. Was told the parts are back ordered and I would be notified when available, this was over a year ago. Seems they really are not interested in doing this.
