The powertrain supports an industry-standard 3500kg braked towing capacity backed by a 6200kg gross combination mass and integrated brake controller as standard equipment. Payload capabilities impress with up to 1124kg capacity in single-cab variants and 1013kg in the X-Pro 4x4 dual-cab, while the 1512mm x 1572mm tub accommodates a standard Australian pallet. Notable features include three digital screens across the dashboard, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto connectivity, mechanical or electronic rear differential lockers depending on variant, and innovative storage solutions including 45 litres under the rear seats.
