Good start

Drives great but has room for improvement: wind noise not well mitigated with sunroof open, short on rear leg room, tonneau cover has been wonky and leaky.

Perfect Vehicle

I love the comfort and gas mileage that I get on a monthly basis. I love being able to carry luggage and groceries in the covered back.

She’s a beauty

I love this truck. Performance has been flawless so far and even 2 years later I seldom drive anywhere where someone doesn’t comment or ask about it. I have enjoyed every minute of ownership

Vehicle is nice on inside as an suv but if you need a truck you have one. Great gas mileage and fits in garage.

Tonneau cover and radiator are cronic problems

A ROCK WENT THROUGH THE GRILL TWICE AND CAUSE IT TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER REPLACED IT THE FIRST TIME, MY INSURANCE COVERED THE SECOND TIME. TONNEAU COVER SPRING BROKE TWICE, AND IT IS NOW LOOKING LIKE IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN. I AM NOT SURE IS THE WARRANTY IS GOING TO COVER THE 3RD ONE.
