Pros

very responsive 4 cyl, great ride for a truck,

Cons

dont expect it to be so responsive in a load,several little noises under the hood and in the cab

have had two small stones crack the windshield and i mean a crack! on other vehicles owned i could not tell where it had been hit so just something to be aware of. have not tracked the noises down yet have had the truck just a few months. I have only been able to get about 22 mpg and i can usually get better than the car lists...read morehide

Pros

I5 engine strong, very quiet ride, smooth AT operation, 20mpg

Cons

Hard to find the regular cab with big engine. Bed is too short.

Rides as quiet as a Lexus (so far)! Get the power windows, doorlocks, and tailgate lock. You will want a good bedliner (e.g. Line-X) and tonneau. Throw away the OEM radio (if you got the basic unit) and get aftermarket.
Aftermarket Nav systems are better, too. Ride is a little bouncy and feels tall, but hey it's a truck. Very good, smooth power from the I5 (get it!). I hear a V8 is coming soon....read morehide
