I have had to put a couple thousand into it but \n nothing major. Clutch, tires, brakes, etc. I am NOT good at getting the oil changed but that \n hasn't slowed it down any. I plan on driving it until it won't drive anymore and then give it a \n dignified funeral! Read less. This is a good basic reliable compact truck. I own the 4 cylinder 2. \n For the higher elevations of Colorado its a little underpowered, but around town and the plains \n its fine. A good quality truck. This is a great truck for the money and it's easy to work on but be \n ready to work on it because nothing lasts. Make sure to do all preventative maintenance. I have \n had no problems with my truck. I was told to just keep the oil changed and I would never have a \n problem. Well they were right. I have driven this truck hard, beat it up and it still wants more! \n Great Truck. Write a review. IIHS Rating. Side Impact Test. See full safety scores.
