Consumer Description

WAS LOADING A WASHING MACHINE IN THE BED OF THE TRUCK, AND HEARD A CRACK. I LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK TO SEE THE LEFT REAR SHOCK MOUNT BROKEN OFF THE FRAME. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION I FOUND THE FRAME HAD HOLES RUSTED THROUGH IN NUMEROUS SPOTS. THE BODY IS GOOD SHAPE. I WASH THE TRUCK REGULARLY, INCLUDING THE UNDER SIDE, SO I DON'T KNOW WHY IT HAS ROTTED IN SPOTS. I AM VERY UNHAPPY ABOUT THIS, AS I HAVE OLDER TRUCKS THAT HAVE NOT RUSTED, THAT SEE HARSH USE ON OUR FARM. THIS IS MY DAILY DRIVER THAT IS FOR PERSONAL USE, AND I LOVED THIS TRUCK TILL I SAW THAT. *TR
