Its got great handling and braking.  The acceleration is great for a 4.6l v8.  i wish it was a 5.4 but what can you do.
  I did have to do a few repairs on it over the past few years.  The sway bar endlinks did rust through and have to be replaced for like $20. The rear diff got water in it and need to have the fluid changed (dont forget friction modifier!), which was due to pilot error ( don't submerge the back half of your truck in water to pull out a boat...) and brake torque burnouts do put enough to stress on your car to eventually break your u-joints.  I have had a problem with a squeak in the suspension in the front passanger side.
Inside of the car looks great with the 50th aniversary leather seats.   Outside is a bit scratched up from hunting, but looks good after a wax, especially the 4x4 emblems on the sides.
Although it costs a pretty penny to drive, with 10 - 12 mpg but if you need a truck, its a good one.
Its tons of fun to drive, on and off-road. handles great in the mud if you got 4x4.

The appearance is amazing. I have added several after market parts to make it a bit more fun. The truck has a freak'n lot of power but is slowed down by its 5000 pounds of weight. It has a new audio system with a base link. Infinity base link and speakers. It has an Alpine deck. Billet grills and ac knobs. I put 33 inch pro comps on it. The engine has a gibson exhaust, air aid throttle body spacer, k&n intake, and superchips programmer. It can beat a stock Acura RSX off the line even with the 33's.

I love that I can beat the hell out of it and it still runs pretty good. Its low maintanence and I love that. It hauls what I want it to haul. I barely have to drive because I can't fit more that 2 people (including driver) comfortably. It rocks and it's the best truck ever.

Good truck but hated the small bed and small cab.

i bought this after i totaled my 97 into a tree. With this truck i hit a deer, was side swipped, and rear ended an old lady (not my fault actually) this truck was nothing but problems. my father decided to trade it in and it died on the way to be traded in. What an amazing truck.
