This crew cab suits drivers who expect their daily ride to provide joy—even in traffic—without sacrificing real-world practicality.Turbocharged power from the 2.7L I4 delivers 310 horsepower, responding crisply to throttle input and offering strong midrange torque for highway merges or towing. The 8-speed automatic transmission shifts with satisfying immediacy, and manual mode enables precise control when carving through winding roads or managing loads. Suspension tuning balances firmness and comfort, keeping the truck settled in fast corners and composed over rough pavement. Steering is well-calibrated, offering a reassuring heft and clear feedback that encourages spirited driving, while the brake pedal inspires confidence with its progressive feel.Performance remains central to safety, with electronic stability control intervening smoothly to keep the truck on your intended path without dulling driver engagement.
