A dream to own

This vehicle was the best vehicle I have owned. It is decent on gas if you drive sensibly. The ride is smooth and it is very good for towing a boat or a trailer. The cargo space is more than adequate for any travel needs. A true delight to own.

I believe I got more than expected for the price!

Most room I've ever had yet it still feels comfortable. Vehicle has a great field of view. Surprisingly comfortable ride but not spongy, you still know you are driving a real truck!
