It's modular. Doesn't look bad at all when built out.

I get that, which on its own is awesome. But even fitted out, it looks like overlanding is their goal market, cause its gotta look "mean." Maybe because I use power tools so often that when something flips form-follows-function backwards, it stands out like a sore thumb -- for example none of the exterior design of the cab affects its use or modularity, yet they clearly spent some time on it.


In the cab, I see mostly just flat surfaces and simplified corners incorporating the plate glass, all of which seems driven by low cost manufacturing while also meeting basic structural requirements.


Simple materials and construction that make it easy to repair in developing countries.
