The Bright Red exterior is accented with gray decals. It comes equipped with chrome bumpers, an aftermarket grille, chrome mirror housings, and a black spray-on bed liner.
A set of 20-inch Boyd Coddington wheels with 315/35 Haida HD927 radial tires connect this truck to the road.

Instrumentation consists of a clock, a nonfunctional 85-mph speedometer, and gauges for the fuel level, battery, oil pressure, and coolant temperature. Auxiliary gauges show the oil pressure and water temperature. The odometer indicates 25,044 miles, but the true mileage on this vehicle is unknown.
