I read also read reviews, and while I agree with your conclusions I also think the reviewers still loved it! Mediocre in that you don't get many bells and whistles, less capable because you have a smaller bed, lower towing capacity, and can't be beat to hell like some older trucks. But affordability, size, and utility make it a hit.
- thereddaikon 4y agoActually I meant mediocre and less capable in that its a fwd unibody and not a body on frame rwd truck. An affordable truck wont have a lot of options. But I consider those two design choices to be kind of core to what a real truck is. A fwd unibody platform is ultimately a car wearing a truck's clothing. Just like crossovers may look like SUVs but when conditions get bad and Karen tries to go up an icey incline and finds out it in fact isn't. My benchmark with affordable trucks will be past models like the S-10 and Ranger. Those were small, light on options but still trucks with proper frames and a rwd drivetrain.
