- Front and rear locking differentials
- Multimatic DSSV damper technology for enhanced handling and performance
- Steel-tube rocker protectors and modified front and rear bumpers
- Skid plates for radiator, engine oil pan, and transfer case
- 17-inch aluminum wheels with 31-inch Goodyear Duratrac off-road tires
- Four-wheel drive with nine drive configurations
- Available bed-mounted spare tire
