it is a great car to drive I love it and have always wanted to get a truck and this fits

Pros — Everything

If i keep in mind that other makers sell their pickups for 3000$ to 4000$ more, i have to admit that it's the best value on the market. I have the V6 4.0 L, and it never fails to deliver, even fully loaded. The gas mileage is not so bad, but if i put the pedal down, you can almost see the pennys flying out of the exhaust LOL!!! But gladly, i have a 5 speed manual so i can minimize gas consumption. Quality is a good old ford, with it's old mechanics. Cheap but easy to repair with low cost pieces (have to think in long terms). Appearance is great, mine arrived to my dealer with racing stripes, so i've had them for free (i had to choose between white and orange or wait 6-8 weeks to have it blue). So i'm really enjoying my first brand new vehicule, handles well, fun to drive, comfortable seats and not so bad on gasoline. altough i think other makers make better vehicule (if i could afford it i'd have a nissan frontier) I'm giving it a 9/10 on the overall beacause of the low price that counter balance the loss of quality.

Pros — Best price compared to other makers
Cons — Big motor with low hp compared to other pickup trucks

Great little truck! Good for bombin around town! Pretty good gas mileage. Slow acceleration- especially uphill, but its all good. Very cute truck- it's Grabber Orange- AWESOME color for a truck. Fun little truck to drive, comfortable to drive compared to some. Automatic engine makes it great for a hilly area- especially cause it has hill-grab. Its a great feature.

Pros — Cute, Small, Easy to Park.
Cons — Slow Accel.

i like the fact that its a small truck so i can still have toys but its not a monster to drive or a gas hog. What i dont like is that its not enough horse power.

This truck is the new delivery truck at work. It is a very rugged truck. Its small and gets pretty good gas mileage and its a 5 speed. It handels very well and for a small truck its very roomy. I love it. Not much to it but it is still a tough truck.

Pros — Good gas mileage, Looks good, Very Nice ride.
Cons — None found yet.
