Awesome truck.  Nice find!  I like the colour, too.  Most of these are beige.

Love the two tone, can’t honestly say I’ve ever seen one that color. Enjoy! I’m sure it’ll fill the bill as a perfect family rig.

Nice, a proper no-nonsense SUV. These still looks good, and this one has held up well considering the kms on it. Polishing (or replacing if they're bad enough) the headlights, getting a matching set of tires, and a good cut/polish on the paint would have this truck looking like new.

If you haven't already (if you you have recent records) I'd be changing every fluid in it, including stuff like brake and power steering fluid. At this age/mileage they really need to be done, and doing so will help it live a long life, and often improves the way things like the brakes and steering feel.

If the transmission fluid has never been changed I wouldn't touch it. You could be doing more harm than good.

Records existing of  it being done regularly than sure.

Huh?  What school of thought does that theory belong to?

NO offense intended to you guys, but I wonder if that's an 'old school' way of thinking.  You know, kinda like the Italian Tune-Up, or the 'have to warm my car up for 15 minutes before driving it in the winter'.

Unless you have some proof somewhere that changing 'never-changed' tranny fluid would do more harm than good.

Don't know if old school or not but I have heard it many times. Here is just one example .https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-2000-03-12-0003120058-story.html I'm sure there are more.


Many times the fluid is forgotten about until the transmission starts to act up.

I have replaced the fluid on my civic  a while ago around 70,000 km .
It has not been left there too long. Will change again in the future keeping the interval short.

I'm sure A Steve has an opinion on this.
