Make fold down seat so you can haul stuff and camp inside

I wish the seat could fold down so I can haul more and I could go camping in my truck.

Great Vehicle.

Great Vehicle. Lots of fun and when it has to work, it does. From household trash to new doors for the home. Sporty and classy, it can do anything. Reliable and hard working. Most of all, fun to drive.

Love it

I only have 14000 miles on it but it has been great. No problems but the fuel door which they fixed immediately. I love the pep of my little turbo and the ease of parking my small truck. And there's plenty of room for 4 adults.

Definitely not much room, good for 2 adults & 2 small children..maybe

At 1st I thought it was amazing, but, it has some issues, little things, I have always had Fords, but then got a Kia, which is what I traded and it had so much more room and the customer service with them was amazing. They really kept in touch. From the beginning I was told 3 years of "oil changes" which def had me sold. But as we are doing paperwork t was 3 oil changes, I questioned it, but was told as long as I drive 5k a year. Well, who does that? Nobody.

This is a fun sporty vehicle that turns heads everywhere I go.

Fun and sporty vehicle that turns heads everywhere I go. Great on gas. The built in cooler in the truck bed is great for tailgating.

41000 miles later

This has been a great vehicle over all. Live in Ohio. It’s been to Florida, Arizona, and Tennessee. Comfortable, handles well, quiet, unassuming to law enforcement, handled 20 bags of mulch with no problem, lawn equipment, pressure washer and associated equipment. Complaints: the black chrome grill looks terrible due to road blast, the bulb seal on the tonneau cover is easily damaged and hard to replace, the bed needs to be deeper.
