Within the last year of ownership, I had to replace shocks, a window motor, and the headliner started falling down up front. It was just time. Yeah, I can agree on that. Same thing in my '06 Dmax. None of the issues you listed, but there are some cosmetic things that could use attention. Nothing major, just stupid simple stuff. Majek 22 Extreme/225 Optimax Pro XS hauled by a 2500HD Duramax

Vehicles of today and for the past 5 years ago or more are/were built to last 250k before major overhaul. I would take a well maintained 5 year old 100k vehicle over a 10 year old 50k mile vehicle any day. Today's vehicles contain a lot of rubber and plastics that begin to crack and dry rot over time, and they have more electronics which time is tough on. 2009 Tracker PT 170 TX Mercury 50hp Lowrance X125 Lowrance X50 Motorguide 46 TM
