Hi all!
It's time to replace my current vehicle (180k miles) and have been looking at several different 4x4 trucks and SUV. The ZR2 diesel really caught my eye, as I'm wanting something that will last for quite a few miles, since my daily commute is 60 total miles and also will be driving 4 hours to visit my cousin in Tennessee. I ruled out a JL Wrangler (owned a 2007) and am currently deciding between a few Toyota models and the ZR2.
You will always hear about the folks having problems, since they are usually the loudest voices. It seems most of the issues have been emissions related, but dealers seem to keep the vehicles for extended periods. I went through this with my 2008 Mustang GT...dealer having the car for over a month waiting for a part (smart control module) to fix the traction control and trying to ensure I do not buy something that has currently known issues.
Have they pretty much ironed out the issues previously reported with DPF sensors and the DPF itself? Any other issues I didn't mention which need to be considered? It sure seems like the ZR2 would be the perfect truck for a daily commuter I could drive to the off road trails a mile from my house. My GSD would live cruising in the forest by the Tennessee River!
Just looking for some unbiased, honest responses. Thanks!
