I have not had any problems with mine outside of the SES lite which they reset and has not reappeared. Replaced the rear end fluid at 3000 miles just to be safe. It was not bad, but the manual says to replace at 3750 if towing. Still running regular engine oil, but will replace with synthetic at 6000 miles.
Milage in town is 15.5 and on the road is 16.5. Starting to run the a/c more, so expect that to drop a bit.
I couldn't be any happier with this truck.
Current milage is 3250.

Good, I have had a few 1000-1700 lb pay loads for only about 10 miles each and I only have 1300 miles on it now...so we'll see what happens, but this is my first REAL Truck (other than the 1990 4 banger ranger...which was awesome 1400 lbs of shale done, towed my 81 Skylark over Blue Knob Mtn done...) Anyway, I've hit it moderately so far, and I don't really have anything to tow YET...

I grossly misjudged the weight of 125 concrete blocks by about 10 lbs. each. Truck had no problem pulling it, but the ride was tricky. Too much weight (2500#), but everything held together. I'll never do that again.

Yeha you'd be surprised at what vehicles in general can do < I had about 800 lbs in my ol 1994 Eclipse, ws sagging a little but boy it was a beotch to steer
