Recalls and complaints

There are 14 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Owners filed 640 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, engine and unknown or other; have those parts checked. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.

Under the hood

The engine is the 3.0L 6-cylinder turbo, with rear-wheel drive and an 8-speed automatic. It runs on diesel, sold at most highway stations. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.

Plan on about 27 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 9.0 L/100 km. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $41.85 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

Who the 1500 suits

It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.

Room inside

A pickup is long and tall, so plan for parking and low garages.

A longer test drive

Rent first, buy later: a week with the 1500 answers the big questions. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. A week with the 1500 answers more than any brochure.

Choosing the right one

Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.

Money matters

At our price setting, 100 km costs about $13.95 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$3,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $139.50 at our price setting.
