The **WT (Work Truck)** trim is built for no-nonsense performance. It comes with a standard 2.7-liter TurboMax engine, heavy-duty suspension, vinyl seating, and an easy-to-clean interior. It's perfect for fleets, contractors, and drivers who prioritize capability and durability over amenities.

The **Custom** trim builds on the WT with more style and everyday convenience. It adds body-color bumpers and grille, 20-inch alloy wheels, power windows, remote keyless entry, and a larger infotainment display with smartphone connectivity. The interior is more refined, making it a solid middle ground between workhorse performance and weekday comfort.

Choose **WT** if you need a truck for serious work and value simplicity. Choose **Custom** if you want a bit more comfort and tech without the premium price of higher trims.

Markquart Motors has both trims in stock. Call (715) 833-0444 or visit us in Chippewa Falls to compare them side by side.
