About this model

This crossover-truck body style suits someone who wants open-bed hauling without stepping up to a full-size pickup, whether that's hardware, small furniture, or gear that shouldn't ride inside the cabin. Under the hood is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder paired with an 8-speed automatic and all-wheel drive, a conventional gas setup with no electrification involved. The EPA rates it at 18 city, 25 highway, and 20 combined. On a 30-mile freeway commute at highway speeds you'd be closer to that 25 figure, but stop-and-go driving around town will pull the average down toward the 18 city number, and the 20 combined rating reflects a mix of both. All-wheel drive adds traction for wet roads, snow, or loading heavy cargo, which matters for a vehicle meant to work rather than just commute. The trade-off is fuel economy: these numbers sit well below what a standard midsize sedan or crossover delivers, so anyone doing significant daily mileage should factor that into how often they'll be at the pump, regardless of the utility the open bed provides.
