This is a functional—it runs, drives, and stops just fine—high-mileage vehicle with wear-and-tear (dings, paint scratches, etc), imperfect mechanicals, and a couple of dents.

Clean title in hand. Options include heated power seats, leather, power windows and locks, privacy glass, tow package (has class III hitch and 7-pin round towing connector), cassette and CD stereo system, and rear climate controls. Click photos below for higher-resolution versions.

(see below photos for more info on truck)

Has push-button 4x4 with both 2wd, "Auto 4WD", 4Hi and 4Lo modes.

The only significant body damage came from a recent deer attack; both passenger-side doors are significantly dented. Less significant is a driver's-side mirror that doesn't hold itself in place but stays put with zip ties and a smaller dent on the rear, passenger-side quarter-panel.

Surface rust is starting in the usual spots (rear of wheel wells, leading edge of hood, etc).

The original owner's dog tried to escape while in the vehicle; although unsuccessful, it did put scratch marks on various bits of the interior and tear the second-row seat as well as the front-seat armrests.

Instrument cluster is wonky--it works if you push in the trip reset lever but otherwise most of the instruments remain dark. I've been advised that this indicates that the ignition switch box needs replacing, which I had done without any apparent impact on the situation.

The liftgate will not hold itself up. The ski pole that I've been using for propping it will be included if the buyer wants it.

The OBDII system indicates that the shift solenoid should be replaced, and the truck generally fails to shift to first (starts in second or third); however, it does shift to first just fine using the column shift.

The ABS system is currently disabled; it needs either cleaning or replacement of the ABS speed sensors on the front wheels to function properly. If the fuse is reinserted, the ABS will activate even when it is not needed at low speed.

The e-brake does not work and will not without significant rear-brake repair work.

Tires are an "all-season" Hercules Terra Trac with decent tread on three tires and excellent tread on the fourth.

Recent repairs include new front calipers, rotors, and pads and all of the hard lines (some were done a year or two ago, the rest were done this past summer). New fuel pump, TPS, and O2 sensor in summer 2010, as well.

Inspected through April.
