Reliability is bad, but I got lucky with mine. Generally, electronics gremlins, cracked headers and heads, shredded front diff (if you don't properly lube your U joints), shit like that will go wrong. Only problem I ever had was a bad rear cargo door lock actuator. Also, stay away from the SLS (self leveling rear suspension).
If you're going to use it as a winter vehicle, I would definitely recommend NOT using the stock AS tires; they are 255's and will cause to to slide along above the snow. So, dedicated snows would be in order.
It's a great truck. I miss it. A lot.
