a 1992 with 55k miles, that there is good, Low miles. Did you pay less than 5k for it or more?
I think that I6 should last you a while, and the gears are not bad.
The thing i would watch is your transmission if your gonna load it up, and tow a heavy trailer. Keep the fluids fresh and put a temp gauge on it.
