It is a strong vehicle good performance but the frame does not support enough problems with the stability of the vehicle on the roads or in emergency maneuvers along the way. Due to corrosion and rupture in the chassis specifically in the connections with the front and rear suspension control arms. (poor quality steel) another point is a smell of fuel and spillage, by the fuel tank. (fire risk) all these conditions result in risk management, loose vehicle control and rollover possibility.

Owner complaining truck has handling problems. The front vehicle height needed to be reduced. Torsion bar adjusted to eliminate the top-heavy, tippy feeling. Also, it has a loose steering box; excessive play between the input and output shafts; causing pronounced road drift when it is windy and causes driver to overshoot steering input, at times.
