As far as the engine goes the one major issue some have had is piston failure. It’s not a widespread problem but it is there. That said, I wouldn’t hesitate on that truck. It’s only about 1.5 hours from me... better hurry and get it jk I don’t need any more trucks.
She's staying with friends up by Gunnison right now. Not a fun drive this time of year. Probably best to go Cochetopa and Wolf Creek.

When I was a kid we used to go through Bayfield to camp up at Lake Vallecito - well a couple years we did that, coming up from Phoenix (1967 & 1968).
