"You get your money's worth with this one"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Wind noise on driver front window gasket. A rock took out left fog light.

General comments?

It's been very solid and reliable. Aside from the wind gasket in the left front door, nothing wrong with the car. Only things I ever did was scheduled maintenance since it was bought for 23000 bucks.

I have hauled everything including the kitchen sink. Added a tonneau cover lately, so now the bed is covered. Plywood could be a problem, but it can carry anything else.

Goes anywhere, I mean anywhere. Snow, Ice, Sleet, Rain, it gets more places then the USPS. Limited slip and AWD makes slick look like dry. Not a rocket off the line, but it can cruise down the road. Mileage is about 28 on the highway.

Rear visibility kinda poor, but I use my side mirrors anyway. Legroom is barely adequate, but I come with long legs anyway.

Still not used to the silver cladding, that's gonna go bye-bye someday.

I posted that review in 2004. It's now 2007, February. The car is solid as a rock. The only thing of note is that the right side of the stereo is out and I have no intention of tearing the car apart to fix it. It's hauled just about everything.

Regret to say that since it is a pickup, it has been treated like a pickup, so it has more than it's fair share of dings and scratches. Over fifty thousand miles now.
