I have a 96 made in Mexico ,its all white and sits out side all the time . One thing i noticed is my paint is in perfect shape compared to others . I rarely wash it and never wax it . Other than return fuel line it has been trouble free since i bought it used . Arnie

mine says "more fuel, eh?" :-laf

My '97 was built in Mexico. GREAT truck.

Bottom Line is this. .

If the other truck is what you seek and has less miles,all the other minor details or problems that may pop up can be handled your way and on your terms. Good Luck... ... ... . Andy

more reliable? i like mechanical things better than electronics. what do you guys think of the trans difference?? thanks again

The electronic units have less problems than the mechanically govorned units. The govornors do wear out but the most likely failure would be something else.

For what it's worth

All trucks are good when they run, and they are all the worst pieces of *^%$ when they don't, listen to your instincts, if the deal sounds to good, then it just may be. Good Luck and enjoy!
