Gruff, torquey and solid drivetrain; Handled a big load in the tray well; good warranty offering
Not as refined or smooth as the competition; lacking modern safety or infotainment tech;
Nice balance of inclusions without going over the top, leaving a competitive price; SYNC 3 system is good; Solid performer on-road and off-road; Many will like the blacked-out-on-a-budget vibe
Tyres felt skittish in the wet; Lacking the optional upgrades of the XLT; Small payload at maximum towing capacity
Great infotainment system; Tough and capable, engine pulls hard; Good for kids in the back; Drives like a car
Dreadful rear-view camera resolution; Ride unsettled without weight in the tray; Interior a little smaller than some rivals
Plenty of easy-access torque; Basic but not bare; Longer-distance service intervals; Not afraid to get down and dirty
Still misses out on tough truck looks; Fiddly infotainment; Falling behind on safety tech
Consummate load-carrier; No-nonsense, ergonomic cabin; Excellent off the beaten path; Improved warranty offer; Toyota's vast dealer network
Middling engine performance; Short servicing intervals; Lacking active safety tech; Dangerous rear overhead grab handles
