Simple little truck, basically a ford ranger. I bought this locally in 2022 and used it for moving tools, compost and other materials. gets about 19MPG around town. I've only done basic maintenance such as oil changes, and its given me no issues.
The good:
- it runs
- just did an oil and filter change
- sweet purple cab/dome light
The bad:
- evidence of radiator hoses leaking in the past, but ive never had leaking issues since I've had it
- burns oil, I check every time I get gas and it usually needs a top up
- needs new tires
- signs of leaking valve cover gaskets
- faded/scratched paint
- really long throw to 3rd gear - never had issues, but its a bit odd if your not used to it
- the drivers side seatbelt receptacle doesn't work, but the seatbelt can clip into the receptacle from the back jumper seat and works just fine, see photos
