Nothing mechanical. The paint above the front bumper on the rubber/plastic has started to flake off. The surface matches the truck (grey) so I don't really care.
This truck is the best I've owned. I had a Mazda B2000 and a Chevy Astro and also a Chevy older pickup. The ride is good, the seats are comfortable, There is plenty of room behind the front seats although anyone but a child couldn't sit there for more than a few miles. The tailgate is a little heavy, but at least it's solid. I get an average of 21 MPG combination highway and city driving which is very good for this size truck. The 6 speed trans helps. I put a cap on by A.R.E. and it looks good. The extra weight of the cap is offset by the increased aerodynamics, so fuel economy was unchanged. The radio is a little weak but the controls are good. My only gripe is the manual transmission. It's a little "notchy" which means, if I don't shift exactly right in the exact direction of the next gear, I may miss and go into the next one. Sometimes I go from 5th back into 4th instead of into 6th. The shift pattern isn't in a straight line "H" pattern but more of an angled "H" pattern. I'm getting used to it now but still have to think about it a little. Other than that, I LOVE THIS TRUCK! The engine has lots of power and torque and is smooth and quiet for a truck. The truck looks good and doesn't try to look like a car. I looked at the Tacoma and this truck is better.
15,000 miles since I wrote the post. update: I love this truck even more now that I've put some miles on her. Nothing has broken. Only oil changes. The low tire inflation light comes on randomly, but the tire inflation is within specs when I check it. When I get new tires I'll check it. Don't really need it anyway.
