Consumer Description

THE FRAME OF THE VEHICLE HAS CRACKED ON BOTH SIDES OF THE VEHICLE AT THE JOINT BETWEEN THE CAB AND THE BED. I NOTICED THIS BREAK AFTER GOING UNDER THE VEHICLE TO CHANGE A PARKING BREAK CABLE. THE TRUCK DID NOT UNDERGO ANY OFF-ROAD TERRAIN NOR SERIOUS BUMPS SINCE BEING PURCHASED. (USED ONLY ON HIGHWAY AND TYPICALLY PAVED ROADS) THE TRUCK HAS MINIMUM RUST ON THE BODY AND HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED SINCE BEING PURCHASED NEW IN 2004.
