44,874 miles? Find a 4x4 pickup with those miles for under $5500. I am the second owner of this beautiful truck. What makes her beautiful you ask? Certainly not its paint as that is peeling. Not the inside of the cab either because though it is clean it is about as plain jane as it gets. And she is missing trim rings around door handles. But, "so what I said when I bought her." She has really low miles, runs like a friggin' tank, is slightly lifted, bounces like a truck should and gives you power and 4 wheel drive to get you out (or into) the right kind of trouble. Mom and Dad? this is the vehicle you want your kid in- not too cool but cool enough for the right guy or gal and it can only fit what all of 3 teenage kids? (and that would be pretty cramped). Gets them where they need to go and home safe no matter the weather. Working man or lady?maybe you are someone that needs to just get where you are going, throw some crap in the bed and be done with it. This truck will do it. Broke college kid that needs reliable transportation. Yup, fits the bill with room in the back to switch dorm rooms and get you and your stuff to your first job miles away from home. Me? I am a firefighter who needed something cheap with 4x4 because I can't be late and I certainly can't not show up for work. I have since moved to an area where I can't afford to park an extra vehicle and I have inherited an SUV that can fit a few more people in it comfortably, but to be honest? I am going to miss this truck. Newer tires, shocks, brakes, exhaust and muffler. (approx. 10,000 miles on it all). I added the Yakima rack for canoes. I purchased the truck with the bed liner and it seems in good shape. The original radio- that was just a radio so I did end up a couple of years ago putting in a Sony stereo with IPOD dock and Aux and upgraded to Sony front speakers (wired for rear speakers but I didn't need them so I didn't bother adding. The pics should show both the good and the bad. One shows the peeling paint on the hood- this is also occurring on top of cab and just below windows and on wheel wells. There is some rusting of the undercarriage. I am the second owner, purchased the vehicle from an auction. No accidents, mileage is accurate and I purchased the AutoCheck Vehicle History report which I am willing to provide to interested buyers. The overall score is a 53. Similar vehicles score 23-46. It recently passed VA emissions and safety inspections.
