Simple, reliable.

I have the base model(i4, rwd, single cab), and while it lacks features(no cruise control!) its design is timelessly reliable. The dealer I bought it from said nothing major has gone wrong on the vehicle(just maintenance; oil, tires, etc) and it has nearly 50k miles on it. It drives much like a Corolla, but still feels like a truck. The gas mileage is pretty good, according to my calculations, it gets around 22mpg going 80 mph, and around 24 mpg going 55-60 mph. And even though the i4 engine only has 160hp, it can still manage 9.2 seconds from 0-60 mph. Overall it?s a great vehicle, but it has limited purposes, especially the base model. The i4 model?s towing capacity is only 3500 lbs, and it doesn?t even have things like an oil pressure gauge or cruise control. But for someone like me who wants a reliable truck to drive to work, do diy stuff, and maybe go off-road a bit, this truck is pretty much perfect.

Very uncomfortable driving position

I liked many features on this truck, but the lack of a power drivers seat was a deal breaker. I owned it for 8 months only because of the uncomfortable driving position and lack of power seat. 4 Liter engine was powerful and not bad on gas- 19 mpg at 80 mph on my 4X4 model. I liked the storage areas under and behind the back seat. Even with 4 doors and a long bed it was excellent off-road.

Awsome truck

Dclb perfect size for me. Looks good. Lots of power. Tough. Goes anywhere I ask it too. Best small truck option around in my opinion. Basic maintenance is all that?s needed.

Best truck ever!

I absolutely love this truck! I traded a Chevy Silverado in for this truck and I couldn?t be happier. This truck looks flawless and drives like a dream. It?s able to tow my camper and meet all my truck needs

I'd buy it agian.. It's my 2nd!

It's a good reliable vehicle. The design is really great.. more sound deadening design is the only improvemnt needed! Very reliable. I'm very satisfied! Plenty of power.

Excellent Truck

The truck is good for me in every way. One complaint - it does not have intermittent windshield wipers...I miss that.

little truck that fits form and function. nice radio. plenty of places to strap stuff down. cant wait to haul more junk to scrapyard and get plywood to make speaker cabinets. not to mention good on gas.

Good for single person with adventurous style!

This vehicle can be a working horse both for personal and business trips! It can carry and pull heavy load or trailer!
