Dodge pickup — indeed a very good vehicle (5)
I believe the answer is:
evade
'dodge' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'pickup indeed a very good vehicle' is the wordplay.
'EVADE' is hidden backwards in amongst the letters.
But, I am unsure how this is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for evade that I've seen before include "Illegally escape (taxes)" , "Dodge, duck" , "Dodge by cleverness or trickery" , "skirt" , "Dodge, stay clear of" .)
