Performance Verdict
A capable base engine providing adequate power for daily driving and light-duty hauling, though it can feel strained under heavy loads or when towing. The 4x4 system adds versatility.
Fuel Economy
Decent fuel economy for a full-size 4x4 pickup (11.8 l/100 km combined), especially with its FFV capability, but not the most efficient in the lineup.
Pros and Cons:
Pros:
- • Diverse and powerful engine lineup, including efficient EcoBoost and robust V8 options.
- • Exceptional towing and hauling capabilities across various configurations.
- • Spacious and comfortable SuperCab interior with modern technology and connectivity.
- • Strong resale value and widespread dealer network for parts and service.
- • Advanced safety and driver-assist features available, enhancing security and convenience.
Cons:
- • Fuel economy can be a concern with larger V8s, especially in 4x4 models.
- • Large physical size can make urban maneuvering and parking challenging.
- • Ride quality, while good for a truck, is still truck-like compared to car-based SUVs.
- • Higher trim levels and optional packages can significantly increase the purchase price.
