We've returned from our non-camping road trip to Georgia to visit our son and Daughter-in-law.
The truck is incredibly quiet even at 75mph. Averaged right at 20mpg (hand calculated) on the interstate. The Aisin transmission is not very smooth at all, but as long as it's reliable that okay.
The seats and armrest are not comfortable at all. Probably because we got the Tradesman level. The center console armrest is to short for me to be able to rest my elbow and reach the steering wheel. I was surprised the steering wheel does not telescope back and forth. The armrest on the door is hard plastic. I should have noticed these during the test drive so that's on me. I'll try to find a pad for both elbows.
The part that surprised me the most was the steering is really not much better than my 2005. It still pulls to the left or right depending on the road slope. Guess that's just the nature of the beast front end.
Overall we're happy with the truck. Have to make a few change for comfort.
