The PRO-4X is the off-road specific version while the newly launched Hardbody variant harks backs to the trucks of the old. It has a black bumper and very cool vintage looking wheels. It is also one of the most expensive variants in the lineup which is a tragedy as an actual base trim with classic looks would have been a great option as well.
