Message just looking for an upgraded model, not the exact same thing I already have.

Pros:

- Decent size for both cab and bed... also, not so damn tall as they are doing with all trucks now.
- Surprisingly good for towing car trailers. 6500# tow and 650# tongue weight... hauled Z32s several times between cities, no problems.

Cons:

- Thirsty. 4.0L is a gas hog. Not a big deal, but surely they can do better now.
- Sealed U-joints on driveshafts are a joke, changed them out for serviceable grease zerk fitted replacements after all 4 of them started failing after a couple years.
- Older ones had transmission cooler leaks inside the rad, bypassed the hoses for the trans. New ones are better.
- Roof rack looks ridiculous.
