Matt, better grab it from what I have heard!
A friend in Canada drove one from about 1997 to about 2007 when it was in an accident and written off.
My friend said it was a fantastic truck although not overly powerful -- so it sounds like it would meet your needs well.
edited to add: My friend's truck was a 4wd, but I do not know what engine he had.
