You'll also be able to haul whatever you need in either its five-foot or six-foot bed. However, the two-wheel-drive models can only tow 3,500 pounds, so go for the 4WD, if you plan to tow a lot.

It will get 18 miles per gallon in the city and 23 miles per gallon on the highway, which falls in the middle of the pack for its class.
