novice needs help
 

Hello all, besides for some oil changes and brake jobs I have little to no experience working on cars. What I need to know is if the 2.5L I4, 4wd is a truck with an engine I can learn on? Also I know that the engine is new, therefore I have had found it hard to find info on it's durability. Does anyone have any idea about how durable it is (possible you have engineering knowledge or know of a comparable engine that has been around longer)? (I'm looking to make it last 15-20 years and want to know if that is at all possible with the truck). Or can anyone at least point me in the direction of resources that can help me answer these questions before I make the investment? Thank You, Bryan
