On the other hand, some old styling cues are still visible. The front adds a new twin-bar grille with the vertical side vents. Front bumper adds a tow hook as before and the windows up front look sloppy. There are three cab configurations, a regular, Super Cab and Super Crew Cab. Super Crew Cab configuration is offering a rear door that opens up 170 degrees so the access is much easier now. Body-color door handles, quad dual-beam halogen headlights and fog lights are all standards. Moreover, LED roof clearance lights are in the offer as well, just like the front and back tow hooks and splash guards.
