Can't complain much about this truck in general. It is not the 4x4 Model. I think I dodged a lot of problems there.

I had the rear diff gears get chipped and started making noise and clunks. It could have been because my dad tried to drift an open diff truck 🤣 in the rain and slid into the curb. Bent the rim; and could have damaged the differential gears.

However I have heard of others having the same problem, based on forums.

I have had basically problems with it, has 201,100 miles on it. Done minimal basic maintenance. Haven't flushed many fluids.
