I ordered this truck in late 1996. It has excelled at everything I have tasked it to do. With it's V~10, 5 speed stick, and 410 gearing it is capable of towing anything you can load into it and hitch behind it. It gets 10 MPG empty or loaded with a distance of just over 300 miles per tank consistently. The reason I am selling it is that after 17 years I purchased a new 2014. The truly unique (removable) thing about this truck is it's ability to fully support a removable/changeable drop hitch 3' past its own bumper. For example, it has towed a 30' triple axle toy-hauler with over 350 lbs tongue weight without touching the 11' 6" Camper's bumper. It's "Custom Built Hitch" comes with the truck. It also has 4 "custom made" slide in, pinned, camper tie down supports. If you are looking for a truck to support an enormous camper while towing a horse trailer to a show or just want something to tow your house on vacation... this truck will be perfect for you.
