Hey Mike
I test drove one a couple years back, more just for fun than anything. It was a V6, manual 6 speed. I was surprised at how reasonably well mannered it was on the road - very quiet, even at highway speed. Interior is decent, but blind spots to the rear are a real problem. Backseat is very claustrophobic. Awful body roll in the corners, but to be expected with a vehicle with that kind of offroad capability. I tossed numbers around with the salesman a little, and I think we worked out $25k for that particular truck (had standard power features).
Definitely not a vehicle for an urban environment, or daily driver duty (expect mileage around 17-18), but would be a fun truck in the trails or to take up to the ski mountains in the snow etc.
