 This is a truck with a luxury car ride.  It is quiet, reliable and attractive.  The engine, while not the most powerful, is quite powerful enough.  I upgraded to a K&N air filter and the throttle response improved dramatically.  I have changed the front brakes 4 times but that isn't too crazy.  When the stock tires wore out I upgraded and the handling is incredible.  The only problem I have is if the roads are icy it, like any pick up truck, has a tendency to slip and slide.
