A buyer's checks

In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Owners filed 365 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, engine and forward collision avoidance; have those parts checked. NHTSA lists 8 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.

The numbers in plain words

It runs the 3.0L 6-cylinder turbo, with rear-wheel drive. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.

A combined rating of 11.5 L/100 km works out to about 35 litres per 300 km. Every 100 km costs about $17.83 in fuel at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,200 a year for 15,000 miles.

Room inside

As a pickup truck, it has an open bed for things that would never fit in a trunk.

Who it is for

It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.

Try before you buy

Rent the 1500 for a week and see how it fits your life. Rent the 1500 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.

Running costs

The EPA estimates US$3,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $17.83 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $178.30 at our price setting.

Narrowing it down

Compare the TRX with the other trims of the same year before you decide. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
