The term denotes a specific aesthetic modification applied to a popular mid-size pickup truck. This typically involves replacing or covering factory-installed chrome or bright-finished components with black counterparts. Examples include blacked-out emblems, wheels, grille, bumpers, and trim. The intent is to create a more aggressive and unified appearance.
The appeal of this modification lies in its ability to project a rugged, personalized image. Benefits include an enhanced visual appeal and, in some cases, increased resale value due to its perceived custom nature. The trend aligns with a broader movement towards minimalist and monochromatic design in the automotive aftermarket, offering a distinct alternative to traditional chrome accents.
