 This has been an excellent truck.  Bought it brand new in 3/03 and have not had it in for any kind of repairs what-so-ever.  I have used it for all sorts of things...around town, travelling long distances, hauling light and heavy loads.  No problems with the paint as others have mentioned...however, I keep mine in the garage when possible and wax it at least twice per year.  The gas mileage, while not great compared to a car, is better than any truck or even SUV i've ever had.  I avg 16mpg, and that is mostly city driving (range is 13-21).  Excellent build quality and ride from a truck.  Take care of your vehicle and it will take care of you!
