They're not that bad on gas. I just sold my '97 Jimmy (which is exactly the same as theis truck except for the trim package) and I absolutely loved that truck. Maybe a bit hard on gas, but not as bad as some other vehicles in the age group.
Things to note about this vehicle are that it is the ultimate camping truck. It'll get you anywhere, and when you get there, it becomes your tent. The back seat folds flat and the bed it creates is fine for a 6'2" guy (and a chick)(and a rotti). Cozy.
Also, when the seats are up, there is a ridiculous amount of legroom in the back seat. I always got that compliment.
Also great about this truck is how solid it is on slick roads. The weight of the vehicle is just beautifully distributed. Definitely a good ride for a soccer mom that has no desire to slide around in the snow. Plus, with the push-button 4x4, you can pop it in 4x when you're stopped at a light, take off nicely, then pop it back into 2wd.
Super easy to park (nice and compact), yet roomy inside, plus really good visibility through the back windows for shoulder checking. There are so many other good things about this truck that I could go on forever. Just stuff that other SUVs didn't have figured out at that time.
I sold mine to a tradesman. It's still a truck. It'll haul all the tools you put in it. Better than a cargo van because it converts into a family vehicle if need be.
I don't know the vehicle in the OP, but I loved mine. I wouldn't have sold it except that I needed an open box truck.
