This stylish build was completed in October 2023 by our team of skilled Master Craftsmen at our headquarters in Castle Hayne, North Carolina. It is motivated by a bulletproof 6.2L Corvette LS3 V8 engine, matched with a smooth-shifting 6L80E 6-speed automatic transmission controlled by a PCS® push-button gear selector with LED display. The heavy-duty LT230 transfer case, equipped with an electronic center differential lock, ensures that all four wheels harness the 430+ horsepower and 425+ pound-feet of torque effectively. Recently hailed by AutoBlog as "unquestionably good", this powertrain effortlessly conquers any terrain. The vehicle is also equipped with upgraded front and rear disc brakes, ensuring quiet, safe, swift, and efficient stops.
The upgraded heavy-duty front and rear axles are mounted on the new hot-dipped galvanized chassis, supported by slightly elevated Terrafirma® shocks and springs. The chassis features Terrafirma® caster-corrected front and cranked rear radius arms, track rod, drag link, and steering damper, all safeguarded by a heavy-duty aluminum front skid plate. The vehicle stands on bold, satin black 18-inch Iconisus® “ICON7” alloy wheels wrapped with beefy 275/70R18 Goodyear® Wrangler Territory® MT (Maximum Traction) tires offering superb traction on or off-road with an open tread design that provides the traction you need even when the pavement ends.
The body was expertly finished in vibrant Barcelona Red Metallic, with sleek and sophisticated deep-tinted, flush-fitting rear side- and rear quarter-glass panels. These are complemented by gloss black wheel arches and trim, all meticulously executed at our in-house body and paint facility. The front of this impressive sport utility vehicle features a gloss black KBX® grille with a satin silver wire mesh insert, gloss black light surrounds, side intake, and forced-air wing top vents. Additional features include Optimill® LED-illuminated puddle lamps, custom LED-illuminated, laser-etched "Osprey" black anodized aluminum door handles, and black anodized aluminum door, bonnet, and windscreen hinges, enhancing the exterior's visual appeal.
LED headlamps with smoked marker, turn, reverse, and tail lamps provide precise, modern illumination. The impressive front features a satin black powder-coated slim-line bumper with two integrated LED daytime running lamps. At the rear, the vehicle features a satin black powder-coated North American Spec (NAS) step bumper, designed to accommodate a high-definition rearview camera, a 2-inch hitch receiver, and jacking/recovery points.
Satin black powder-coated tubular side steps provide assistance during ingress and egress to the passenger cabin. Inside, you'll find a modern-style dash that offers excellent heating and air conditioning for year-round comfort. This 9-passenger, family-sized Station Wagon also features our new rear air conditioning system, ensuring additional cooling on hot summer days for your guests.
The well-appointed interior is complete with supple Saddle Tan leather upholstered heated front sport seats and three matching middle-row heated seats. Four side-facing, stowable rear seats with matching upholstery provide versatility, offering seating for friends and family or transforming into utilitarian cargo space with over 55 cubic feet available when the seats are folded. The dash and door cards are upholstered in the same supple Saddle Tan leather and to top it all off, the headliner is swathed in luxurious charcoal Alcantara.
Behind the leather-wrapped steering wheel is an impressive driver command center focused around a piano black center fascia housing the state-of-the-art infotainment system featuring an Kenwood® DMX9708S 7-inch HD capacitive touch-screen head unit with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto®, Bluetooth®, built-in Digital Signal Processor, and GPS navigation backed by a rich sounding Rockford Fosgate® 8-speaker array powered by a Blaupunkt® 4-channel, 1600 watt amplifier.
Convenient amenities in the vehicle include central locking, power windows, a leather-wrapped center console with a storage cubby, a wireless charger for your mobile device, USB charging points, and two oversized aluminum cup holders. The front windscreen is heated for extra frosty mornings, and security is handled by a Viper® keyless entry system with remote starting. To protect the interior, heavy-duty rubber floor mats are provided for the fully carpeted front footwells and rear loadspace/passenger area.
