The pickup's style is obviously inspired by its SUV brethren but comes with a longer wheelbase, a larger cabin space, a more rakish windshield and a better bed size. Its unique front grille is what sets it apart from a Wrangler. The Wrangler's signature seven-slat grille is replaced with a dual-style design with overwhelming vertical slats on its side. Different fenders can also be chosen to customize the pickup truck.
