General comments?
My Truck is the Extended Cab, and this truck was well worth the money paid for it. It was well maintained by the previous owner. Due to situations well beyond my control, I had to put an extra 2000+ miles on it right after I got it, and this truck proved extremely reliable. The push button 4WD is really simple and easy to use. Although it is a "push and go", I still stop the truck, put it in neutral before engaging and disengaging the 4wd as a precaution. Doing this will ensure many years of trouble free use of this feature. This is my 3rd truck in the last 10 years (1st two being Ford F150's), and this one is by far the best one that I have owned. It pulls very nicely and handles extremely well with trailer in tow, and is a very comfortable truck to ride in when traveling long distances. Gas mileage is average, but I didn't buy this truck for that reason. Visibility is pretty good, and the ride in this truck is very quiet. The extended cab back seat has a lot of legroom even for a full grown adult; my 8 year old son commented that it "feels like a Cadillac" in the back seat area. Equipped with a new Bestop Soft bed box top, this truck functions both as a family wagon, grocery getter, and an excellent over the road vehicle. Off Road capabilities are superior. Despite the mileage on this truck when I bought it, this truck functions like a brand new truck at half the price. I expect to still be driving this truck 10 years from now. Next to my 2000 Jeep Wrangler SE, this is definitely one of my better investments.
