I had this '97 truck for 3 years. I LOVED it,...and hated it. The truck is awesome, comfy, quiet, I had no complaints at all. But, I only used it for dirt bike trips, home improvement stuff etc and it always needed something. brakes, belt tensioner, shocks, trans pan leak, valve cover leaks, tires, alignment, always something. I was not sorry to see it go. I think the newer the better with these. Beyond 100,000 miles be prepared to invest some work into it. Also, I believe '96 and older had worse brakes and trans problems. '97 and newer are way better.
