Took a 2021 for spin. Very car like. This one was a Supercab XL (with STX package). Honestly, I wasn't blown away by it for $39,000.00 but it did feel good/easy to drive and maneuver.
Supercab should have a rear seat delete like in my 2011. I just use for storage.
I noticed the combination of turbo and 10 spd auto made it slightly jutter at lower speeds. As if the first few gears are very low and blow through to 4 th from stop to cruising.
Great power, but wondering how many issues will be after 100,000 kms. Turbo/GDI and small engine will never outlast a stout NA V6 or NA V8.
ADDED: auto start/stop. Don't understand why this extra tech is needed (more dealer repairs?), but thankfully there is a kill switch. Just have to make habit to shut off on every start up.
I would consider it over all, keeping an eye on long term issues and doing research. I would definitly have to order from scratch to make sure I get what I actually want. Every truck being sold has a trailer package. I don't tow, so why waste $600 on something I won't use and better spent on a remote start (for example).
Don't like the forced 4x4 when all I need is 4x2 .
