Access to the cargo bay which can offer up to eight tie-down points is by means of a tailgate. Aided by a gas-filled strut on the offside, it drops down horizontally.
The load area is protected by a plastic liner which, in case the case of our test vehicle, was shielded by an optional – and by no means cheap – Mountain Top roll cover. This conceals anything you might happen to be carrying from bad weather and prying eyes, alike, and like the tailgate, it is lockable.
