Covered storage space and cupholders are abundant. The climate control and sound systems provide the correct temperature and excellent sound. The 4-wheel drive T100 is a thoroughly modern pickup on pavement or a dirt road. The suspension does a very good job of controlling road shocks and without harshness or excessive bounciness. The T100 feels much like a family sedan with a very high driving position.
Visibility is excellent.
Ride quality is quite good, and, typically of pickups, improves with a moderate load in the bed. Handling is good, but, in common with other 4-wheel drive vehicles, the high stance and high center of gravity magnify any rolling motion when cornering. The T100 received some major powertrain improvements in the 1995 model year that carry over to 1996. It gives the T100 performance comparable to popular V8-powered pickups. This combination proved to work very well, with no lack of power.
