Under the hood
It runs the 2.5L 4-cylinder, with all-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.

A good match for
It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
Space, size and seats
A pickup is long and tall, so plan for parking and low garages.
Rent it for a week first
If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Rent the Pickup for a week and see how it fits your life.
Picking a year and a trim
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
Running costs
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $173.60 at our price setting. 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 $17.36 in fuel.
One more step
