Pros & Cons
Pros
- Best-in-class fuel economy — hybrid gets 42 mpg city, unheard of for a truck
- Very affordable starting price — one of the cheapest new trucks in America
- Compact unibody size makes it easy to drive and park like a car
- FLEXBED system with built-in slots and tie-downs for easy DIY builds
- Huge enthusiast community with creative bed camper solutions
Cons
- 4.5-foot bed is very short — sleeping requires diagonal or cab-over extension
- Not a van — no enclosed living space without aftermarket truck cap
- No standing room — this is purely a sleeping and storage platform
- Limited payload (680 kg) means heavy builds will max out quickly
- Hybrid model is FWD only — no AWD option for off-road adventuring
