- Reliability (3)The powertrain is generally bulletproof, but this specific year is prone to the 'Strawberry Milkshake of Death' radiator/transmission coolant leak issue.
- Maintenance (4)Routine maintenance is straightforward with a spacious engine bay, and parts are widely available and affordable compared to European competitors.
- Technology (2)Extremely basic interior features with a simple AM/FM/CD player; it lacks modern essentials like auxiliary inputs or advanced driver aids standard in newer eras.
- Comfort (3)Front seats are supportive for long drives, but the ride quality is stiff over bumps and the rear seating in King Cab models is very cramped.
- Dynamics (4)The 4.0L V6 engine provides class-leading power and strong towing capacity, though the steering feels somewhat heavy during low-speed maneuvers.
