To handle family adventures and heavy-duty tasks alike, it features a heavy-duty 760 lbs Payload Package and a Class IV trailer hitch receiver with trailer sway control. Despite its impressive size and capability, the twin-turbo setup helps maintain respectable efficiency, earning an EPA-estimated 19 MPG on the highway and 15 MPG in the city.
