This bad boy got me through my senior year of high school and all of college. My parent made a great choice buying this for me. It had plenty of room for hauling around people or stuff. It also had good power for a 4.0 v6. It was a good reliable vehicle and it never gave me any major mechanical problems.

Been a great truck so far. Amazing fuel economy considering how old it is. The little 4.0L needs to downshift when going up a hill, but it usually has enough pep when needed. It's fun enough, and has the sex appeal too. Pretty sound truck as well. Keep her maintained, and she'll treat you great.. don't maintain her, she'll still treat you good

All in all this car is very reliable. It's great in weather and very reliable. No matter what's wrong with it it still gets you from point A to point B. It's very reliable. Overall a it is good car.

It's pretty good for a base model '98. its sorta cheap feeling in the materials used, but goes like nothing else from the era. Also pretty low insurance. All in all, its very good value for money, and get me all the way to my next car.
