The Good
- 315 hp and 400 lb-ft for $3,000 is the easiest box to tick
- World-class 10-speed, low-rpm highway cruising
- Steering with actual feel. Looking at you, F-150
- Big-guy comfortable with great sightlines
The Bad
- Spongy brake pedal feel
- Heated seat controls buried in the screen
- The sound system has no business in a $50,000 truck
