I had to chance to mess around with one of these. Its a pretty wimpy ride by our lard ass standards. 163 HP. They do claim a 2500-lb bed capacity with 4x2 (2300-lb with 4MOTION) and 6000-lb towing capacity but the frame, suspension and axle all look real small. 4MOTION front end is independent suspension. Interior is pretty spartan but nice. Not sure at the price point if it would fly over here unless gas was 8 buck a gallon and diesel a little cheaper. Would be cool to have the option though.
