Author’s Note
Gagan mentions that it is a great city driver and highway cruiser and offers a reliable range. However, it is not meant for hardcore off-roading adventures. The interiors are great and modern and the cabin lends a premium and opulent feel. In fact, the materials used inside the cabin are quite high-quality. The functionality of the cabin ensures that people are drawn to it. All in all, it is a great truck apart from some quality issues over a long ownership duration.
