A proven powertrain is at the heart of this truck’s ownership economy.

This truck is equipped with ABS brakes, dual front and side impact airbags, electronic stability control, brake assist, and an exterior parking camera. These active systems work together to enhance control and minimize risk, helping preserve the truck’s value by preventing accidents and reducing the probability of costly repairs. The inclusion of a rear parking camera and stability features offers added security in crowded lots or while towing, further supporting the ownership experience with practical safety advantages.

The Equipment Group 101A Mid adds convenience, while the STX Appearance Package and XL Sport Appearance Package enhance the truck’s look.

Inside, the Medium Earth Gray cloth seating, 4.2" productivity screen, 6-speaker audio system, and air conditioning contribute to a comfortable cabin, while running boards and body-color bumpers add both style and utility.
