Stradas have always been good-looking, that’s kind of been their calling card. So it’s hard not to get awestruck by this pickup truck, but that facelift of the fifth generation in 2019 did wonders for this already handsome vehicle.
The Athlete 4WD A/T swathed in orange is absolutely striking and very hard to miss. It took two more years (after the Xpander launch) before it finally picked up that front fascia but what an implementation it turned out to be.
It gets the grille in black paired with the LED daytime running lamps on either side, large LED headlamps at the bottom, and a silver underbody garnish, all of which somehow perfectly complement the body’s orange hue.
