MSRP: $28,655+TTL roughly $31,500
**Taxes and Insurance**

Review: Exactly what I signed up for, not a luxury truck by any means but I’ve towed small trailers, and hauled 1000+ pounds of mulch, flooring, equipment, etc. well over 50 times. A few 1,000 mile round trip roadies and still very happy with the lifetime mileage.
I suppose I could count $150ish in pickup rentals/U-Haul in ownership costs for times I needed a bit bigger vehicle but still substantially better than owning a larger vehicle.
I have 2 car seats in the back and as my oldest gets older it’s getting a little tight but they’ve never complained.
We live in a heavy snow area but roads are usually plowed and I’ve had a lot less issues than I anticipated this being the first vehicle I’ve owned without 4WD.
Definitely hear some rattles but not as bad as what some have mentioned. Yesterday I had 37 bags of mulch in the back with my spouse and 2 kids.
If anyone on the fence has questions let me know, and if anyone who is past their 3-year factory warranty has advice let me know, I would like to get it looked at next spring before crossing that threshold.
