Time has come for me to move on from my beloved truck.
I have owned this truck since 2011.
I have driven it from LaPaz Baja to Tuktoyaktuk Canada (Arctic Ocean) and everywhere in between. 3500 mile trip through Utah last year. Many trips into the Death Valley back country. This truck has performed flawlessly and been amazingly reliable.
I would not hesitate to drive this truck cross country or into any desolate backcountry tomorrow.
Drove the AlCan Highway and to the Arctic in 2018, 9400 mile trip with 1200+ miles of dirt.
Average 16.7mpg over the 9400 miles.
Never left me stranded.
Never been on a tow truck.
Rides like a dream on the highway and will go faster over huge rocks and ruts than anyone should go in a truck this size.
Lots of fun to drive in the dirt.
Steers and handles very well.
Drives straight down the highway at 75mph all day long.
