Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Hybrid variants can use substantially less fuel in city driving than many larger trucks
  • 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
