Never had a pickup before but at this price I certainly will go a test drive. Hope Mitsubishi doesn't take away all the safety features and cool dashboard and other accessories. For city slickers, 4x4 hardly used at all or off-road for that matter.

Imagine driving this triton in to the jungle... the stress on the engine is huge... the timing belt snapped!! Habis. Timing Gear will not snap for sure. Timing Chain not likely to snap either.
