    The dreaded ball joint recall from the 1st gen affects 3rd gens? Ok.

    What a stupid article, it's clearly just slapped together by a script.

    Visit ranger and chevy midsize forums and read up on their problems.

    It’s not trolling. My dream Toyota is a third gen with a Tundra engine and drive train swap.
