Third door stuck shut

I bought my 2004 Sonoma that belonged to my dad after he passed. It's been kept in the garage since brand new. It has 3800 Miles. Even smells new. The problem is.my Mom used it for a few years before she got sick and couldn't drive. I didn't realize the 3rd door was stuck. When I had to call roadside assistance to change a tire, he threw everything behind the seat's, so there's that. But, when I grocery shop, there's no room in the front. Is it possible to have it repaired? I tried to force it open with my feet from inside, but I'm not very big. There's no rust, so I don't know why it won't open. Any advice?

Reliable but..

I've been happy with my 2004 GMC Sonoma but it has two serious drawback. First, the front passenger seat. The transfer case for the 4WD intrudes into the leg room of the front passenger. I am perfectly to drive this truck but the passenger seat is truly uncomfortable for an adult. Second the 4WD is activated by a button on the dash. The light goes on but that that doesn't tell if the 4WD is really working. When the 4WD fails the light still goes on. I've had the 4WD fail three times. Other than that this midsize truck just keeps going.
