Excellent small work truck.

This truck is an excellent work truck for my pest control business. And the mileage and ride is very comfortable. With plenty of safety features.

Plenty of space for passengers. Excellent for a smaller work truck.

I would recommend this to anyone wanting a smaller truck for work and play

26k Miles

So Far nothing major but there has been a couple strange things that make me doubt it will ever make it to 100k like most modern day cars. And, lot of folks have already had major DCT issues requiring replacement. Mine has gone into limp mode twice but, if I pull over and shut it off and turn it back on it seems fine.

Over all like this vehicle. Gas mileage isn't all that great. Should have a sunglasses holder somewhere. Door handles scratch way to easy. Had problems with phone charger in vehicle needed replacement.

Fun truck that works

Fun little truck that works I tow boats, campers, trailers. I have had wood pellets in bed. Building materials. Monday -Friday I tell the full-size truck guys I can haul just as much air as they do.
