Worth knowing
- Some owners report rough shifts from the 10-speed, and the pre-2024 cabin feels plain for the price.
The trim we'd park in our garage
Look for the XLT: it adds a touchscreen with CarPlay, blind-spot monitoring and nicer cloth over the XL. The 2024 redesign makes CarPlay standard on every trim.
On the test drive
Look underneath for frame rust, and check the hitch and bed for signs of heavy work use. Get a pre-purchase inspection and a vehicle history report before you buy.
Safety tech
- Automatic emergency braking: standard from the start of this generation (2019).
- Adaptive cruise control: standard from 2024, optional from 2019.
- Blind-spot monitoring: standard from 2024.

On the test drive
