General comments?
I love my truck, very easy to work on and I have found that I can do most of the maintenance myself.
Great for hauling around town and on the highway.
A little uncomfortable on the long trips.
Good torque, but has slow acceleration.
Great handling.
Good gas mileage.
I have had the same tires on it for the last 5 years and still has good treading.
Good looking truck!
