Beyond the 14-inch Head-Up Display and panoramic glass roof, it adds standard premium acoustic treatments and a heated steering wheel. The exterior bed includes the six-function MultiPro™ Tailgate offers six configurations—acting as a full-width step or a mobile workspace—and can be optioned with an integrated KICKER® premium audio system.
