This truck is loaded to the hilt and rides like a luxury car. That is the only good thing about it.
The engine knocks when it's cold, uses oil and idles rough.
The transmission does not down shift properly and causes the engine to lug.
The front end will not stay lined up.
All four cheap firestone tires had to be replaced at 18,000.
I hate it and plan on trading tomorrow for a Dodge Turbo D.
I guess if you can't drive the best the 3rd best will have to do.
I have 4 things to say...
1 is your engine is supposed to knock when its cold (see #4).
2 Whoever is reading this comment, please look and see that this person used to drive a Toyota 4X4 (did you also know that when toyota first started importing these pieces of junk into the united states, they were called "Toyopets").
3 I'ts too bad you got a lemon. I have a 2000 Chevy Silverado 4X4. It is a great truck.
4 Engines are supposed to knock when its cold because the engine gets cold when you park it overnight and when you go to start it the next morning, the engine is cold and it needs time to warm up.
