Good value in a basic hauler.

1997 Hombre Review Summary & Specifications

Anyone expecting the Hombre to be one of those pickups for dressing

up and heading off for dinner at the country club could be in for a disappointment.

If luxury or sport aren't in this truck's definition, what is? We think

it's work and value.

There's a certain honest feel to the Hombre. Behind its plain face and

unadorned appearance there's a feeling of quiet ruggedness and dependable

durability. This might not be the set of new wheels that gets your heart

pounding and your temperature rising, but if you don't want to drop a lot

of money and you need an honest truck that will haul some hay, it's worth

your time to take a look.
