Fuel Economy & Fuel Tank


Fuel tank capacity: about 21 gallons

Interior / Cabin
Since it’s an Extended Cab, the rear seating area is smaller; legroom in the back is limited. The front is reasonably roomy.
Basic interior trim in the Base version: more utilitarian, with simpler materials. Likely manual windows or fewer power features, basic radio, etc.


Features & Other


Standard stability and safety features like electronic stability control, etc.
Basic rims/wheels (steel), simple wheel-and-tire setup.
Warranty when new: basic 3 years / 36,000 miles; powertrain longer.
What It’s Good For / Trade-Offs


Pros:


Good value: lower price, simpler systems, less to maintain.
The long bed gives good hauling capacity for its size.
Decent fuel economy for a midsize pickup, especially on the highway.




Fewer comfort or luxury features compared to higher trims.
If you want, I can paint you a comparison between this Base trim and a higher trim (e.g., LT or Z71) so you can see what features you'd gain.
