Buying Advice

We believe the mid-level 2500 trim with the extended wheelbase holds the most value for the money, as it offers better interior storage space and offers some air-conditioning, cloth bucket seats, a four-speaker sound system with USB, keyless entry, a telescopic steering wheel, and quite a few more features
