Also, keep in mind that a lot of us change parts when they show signs that they're going bad and don't wait on them to break.
There are also a few upgrades listed. The original part was fine but got swapped for something better.
There are plenty of people that drive their vehicle until it won't go any more and speak highly of its reliability because it lasted as long as it did until they had to put money into it.

If you own any other brand for 5-10-15 years like a lot of people on here then you'll have a list similar to these.

Sorry to move this off-topic by the way, I'm not sure how strict the rules are on this forum.

I suppose I'm just use to my '97 Ford Escort, cheap and reliable, but nothing short of a basic, no frills, car to beat on. I'm still in the market for a truck, the Escort can't move through the snow we get here in Michigan how I would like. Plus, there's just something about a truck.

welcome to df.
good luck on your search for a truck.
the 01 offroad is the best, and well worth the extra 1,000 bucks it will cost you.
