NO, like any other vehicle they have their own personality. I am a dealer and web site is DetailDrivenautos.com. We usually have from 2-4 for sale and they sell quickly. We know what what their quirks are. They are not difficult to work on but they are not a Chevy 350 from 1968 either. The parts are generally readly available and the forum is here to help you with any questions. We are here for you. Some parts are available from what used to be the Isuzu dealers. Some are available used. I am still in search for a parts VX so eventually that will be available too. I personally love them they are great off road buy feel like a sports car utility not a pickup with a full passenger compartment. Good luck with your decision.
