Tradeoffs
Engines may be less powerful than some heavy-duty competitors from Ford.
The ride can be stiff when the truck is empty, typical for a heavy-duty work vehicle.
Its large size and bulk can make it challenging to maneuver in urban environments.
Some owners have reported serious issues with the transmission and engine, leading to frustration.
What you might regret
Those seeking a comfortable daily driver for city commuting or who do not regularly tow or haul heavy loads may find this truck overly large, stiff-riding, and potentially prone to reliability issues.
