The interior of the truck was pretty sweet, and the digital displays are top notch, and leather seats looked comfy.
The main display was huge, colorful, and sharp. According to the company: their cloud-based architecture, with its Ethernet backbone for enhanced security, learns your preferences, adapts to your driving habits, and keeps adventure top-of-mind.
Since the motors sit by the wheels, there is a reasonably cavernous space under the front hood.
Behind the rear seat is a truck wide gear tunnel, and you can sit on the doors and even stand on them. Between the front hood and tunnel enclosures, the truck offers quite a bit of lockable storage.
The rear of the truck has some lovely lights and a full-width light strip. Also, they offer a functional, flexible crossbar system so you can mount gear on the roof, bed, and bed floor.
