Saw one on the neighborhood street recently and just spent a few minutes on the Ram website. Not sure I'd be interested in a vehicle built in Turkey but it looks to have the right proportions/capabilities that would interest me. Not many used available that I can find...
Paging JG, paging JG.
Loved mine. Excellent road manners, great turning circle, awesome fuel economy. It was the perfect mix of utilitarian bland so you didn't feel guilty putting dirty parts in the cargo area, but it was nice to drive so it didn't feel like a work truck. Very large and square cargo area.
I'd still have mine, except I needed something that could tow a car.

And that appears to be the Achilles Heel with only 2000lb towing capacity... :( Otherwise, it looks like a ubiquitous minivan would basically serve the same function.
Didn't it take you like a year or some crap like that to get a windshield because of parts availability?

Four months, but only because Turkey was having a revolution or something.

I recall that situation being discussed either here or in GRM magazine. Not sure that Turkey is much more stable today than back then.
We have one as a work van, the one we have could definitely use some more power. We end up turning off the A/C in town so we don't get run over. To be fair, it's usually loaded down with tools and materials, but it's pretty gutless. Other than that, it's been pretty trouble free.
