The biggest thing on these vehicles is a tendency for premature headgasket failure. The best defense against this is a prestinely maintained cooling system. Regular coolant flushes with the appropriate coolant (never mixing) is a typical recommendation. I would inquire about this and any overheating issues.

Great vehicle. i change all my fluids and have 220000 miles. Only thing i find is the front brakes don't last long 50K. But you feel like you are driving fort Knots. Gas milage runs between 14 and 16 if you keep your foot out of it on the interstate. the hill climbing/rock here in LA we aint got no rock but hills are FUN too. No mud too heavy withpot huge tires. cheers.gif
