 I originally bought this vehicle for a part time job that I had delivering lost airport luggage to passengers.  It was perfect for that.  Good gas mileage, load carrying capacity, reliable, etc.  Since then I've used it as a work truck for construction sites.  It has good off road capability.  When I moved from a townhouse, I used this vehicle to haul "everything".  I do mean everything, sofa's, big screen tvs, tables, beds.  I have a five speed that's been good on gas.  I've added side step bars, and a cab.  This is a very nice looking truck that looks more expensive than it costs.  Very happy with it.
