I've seen 3 lately and the thing that I'm still shocked by is the size. They just look out of place on the street regardless of how they look.
Rivians are butt ugly but not as out of place size wise.

Tesla Cybertruck: The truck so ugly, the aftermarket is lousy with wraps to make it look not like it does..
Probably sold more of these uggo stainless vehicles. Kinda similar shape.

And, you didn't have to try and hide it, and it was easily modified so it could double as a time displacement machine.
The Cyber is just plain butt ugly and serves no purpose at all....just a waste of sheet metal and minerals.

I'll revise my first post.....
If you squint it already looks like a BBQ grill....
Squint and think of the mirror as the handle...it would lift triangular shaped cover.
Already comes with the wheels attached for easy roll-around....
During a heat wave I'm sure you can grille on it?

Other than the transmission I really like my 5g but if I could change something about it I'd want better insulation in the cab. In the summer I can feel the heat cooking in on that black roof. If the headliner has anything above it other than metal and wires I'd be shocked. I'm sure every color gets plenty hot but black seems like a convection oven lol.

Spot on, no insulation on headliner. Ran rear dashcam wiring and at least there's a half inch of dead space, not a glued on headliner like the old days!

I'd also love insulation in the cab - here in New England it would help with the cold.

I see a handful of folks here add that acoustic stuff and, if wasn't such a weenie about plastic clips, I'd do the same.

I used to live in Florida and Texas and can only imagine how that cooks your head! =(

It's the same with all colors. My phone gets heat warnings if I leave it in the truck for under an hour. I really want ceramic tint all around for this reason, even the windshield. MO only allows the stupid strip which does nothing.

This jeep has 15% windshield and it looks good:

I learned about this in grade school science class about 60 years ago. It never ceases to amaze me how many people buy black cars and trucks here in AZ. My red one is bad enough.
