My 05 Crew AKA the TURD.
I sold my 03 VW passat wagon money pit, and my 95 extended cab and purchased this with some money to spare.
Why is it called the Turd?
Well I went to a used car lot to look at this low priced truck and the guy kept calling it a a turd, " you can polish a turd but it's still a turd". He claimed the motor was done as it "knocked a bit" and had low oil pressure. We finally met at a price and to his shock I drove it the hour home. When I pulled in the driveway and let it idle the oil pressure dropped to sub 20. I shut it off, ordered an oil pump and bingo, truck is fine. It has it's dents, scratches, and bends. But this translates into not being afraid of USING the truck. She does seem to clean up well sometimes too. I'm at 299,250 miles as I type this. Painted the trim awhile back since It got that faded brown that all this trim gets when it's been in the elements. Overall very proud of this truck.
