The overall exterior is very smooth for a pickup truck, with a black grated and slatted grille, understated body lines, and air intakes on either side of the large front bumper. The standard exterior features include a light cargo box in the back of the cab, a 17-inch spare tire, cap-free fuel filling, a locking tailgate, automatic halogen headlights, 17-inch wheels with all-season tires, and a corner step rear bumper.
