The 3.42 rear axle and High Capacity Suspension Package maximize payload and trailering, delivering strong performance for the investment and making this truck efficient to maintain long-term.Safety value comes from standard features like Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Alert, Front Pedestrian Braking, and a HD Rear Vision Camera—all included at no extra cost.

The Trailering Package, hitch guidance, and high-strength suspension are included, ensuring buyers don’t pay extra for essential capability or comfort features.Compared to the Ford F-150 XL and Ram 1500 Tradesman, this truck leads on feature-to-price ratio.
