Every vehicle has issues, it's part of the engineering budget versus profit return thing, I have a 3 litre so not 100% on the 2.5 but I do know they're a great value light truck, a little agricultural but robust and simple, it's simply the best all purpose vehicle I have ever owned for what it cost me.
I own a 2013, its my 2nd of the 2.5 CR D22's. My last one was a 2010; I agree 100% with the above description of them as "robust & simple"
The only issues I've had with them is that they're very slow off the mark, but no probs after you get up & moving + they have the turning circle of a jumbo jet lol!
Mine is my work vehicle & tows an 8x5 cage trailer daily. It gets used to lug trees to the dump (I cut down trees for a living). I also tow a soft floor CT with it on holidays - no probs.
Some say they're uncomfortable, but I'm not a young man & I have no complaints.
Between the 2 of mine, they have traveled huge distances on outback dirt roads - no probs there either.
On one trip we did the Oodnadatta Track/Mt Dare/Finke/Old Ghan Track/Chamber's Pillar/Palm Valley/Mereenie Loop Road with 4 adults on board. It was a bit squeezy, but not that bad really!
They're a fairly capable 4WD stock, for what most people would do with them.
But, they are very basic! Example; only the driver's door activates the interior light.
I love them, but I'm an analogue kind of person lol!
I have to nod in agreement with fourocker "it's simply the best all purpose vehicle I have ever owned for what it cost me"

x2 on both the comments they're no speed demon but very capable vehicles on and off road
I'll sell you my 2010 d22.
Otherwise.... They are a very reliable vehicle for work and play especially when you take the price into consideration. There is a heap of little mods to make them go better that don't cost a bucket full of cash.
