Opinion: Neat technical details, neat truck, but I don’t know if I could get over virtual headlight controls.

    I can’t imagine paying $58,000 for a 4-cylinder truck. I can’t imagine paying $58,000 for a truck at all unless it was a work truck for business.

      You say “four cylinder” like its some kind of gutless junk. This turbo 4 puts past V8s to shame, and gets better fuel economy doing it. Sure new car prices have risen a lot, but I’d rather have this than an outdated V8.

        I’ve got a car inept GF, and she once went way to long without an oil change. Her Chevy doesn’t have a turbo, but I was warned that newer Chevy engines with turbos are way more sensitive about oil changes.

        What are the odds that the turbo and or engine blow, if some drives this 2k past and oil change?

        Genuinely curious here, not trying to be that guy.

      There’s a whole lotta people who buy overpriced trucks as luxury daily drivers instead of tools. Seems to me like 60k is the more affordable end of that scale.
