Metal trim adorns the side skirts, the doors have real handles and the mirrors, with integrated turn signals, are wider, whereas further back, a bed bar has appeared, alongside what seems to be a black bed cover. A pair of LED lights was added to the roof, between the rails, and the wheels, wrapped in all-terrain tires, look more realistic. The illustration also provides a tiny glimpse inside, though nothing is visible beyond the headrests and a grab handle on the A-pillar.
