There is nevertheless a significant chunk of red to go along with the black on the new decals, which have since been applied to the rear quarters and tailgate of this accessorised pickup.
The mild modifications continue further within this Triton AT Premium, with the cabin enhanced by illuminated scuff plates and a new embroidered headrest design (that incidentally matches the decals on its exterior).
