Again, I have it.
I see these little trucks and covet one. They come in so many different varieties! I want an '02-'04, less than 50k, and would be cool with a clean I4 2WD ext cab., but of course go YEAH YEAH when I see 3000 V6 4WD models. I mean, without the V6, it doesn't seem (based on the new ones) that you could even get a limited slip rear end (???). I could deal with snow tires and no 4WD (I do live in a suburb) if I had limited slip... but open, aaaahh!!! I guess it would be ok but I have never driven one newer than 1994, and never in the snow.
Anyhow, I am just asking you guys for your opinions and experiences with these trucks. Is there anything BIG to watch out for? Are I4s with open diffs ok in snow? For a "city truck", would you go ext. cab or
4WD, if you had to choose? I know in 03 there was a suspension improvement done (so said a review) but aside from that, I don't know these vehicles.TIA
