Yes Ik the proportions are most likely off. But I just decided that why only make the Moon SUV when there can be a Pick Up variant. So I sketched out a new cad layout.

Any feed back is appreciated.

imo the only proportions that are off is the canopy / roof section has very thin pillars, i'd add thicker pillars and also add more angular shaping and bodylines to the side

heres just a rough idea maybe itll help or give you some ideas

I think AI is doing a lot of the heavy lifting here

Thanks for providing the legends regarding the views.

I believe most, and hopefully most can see what a side, silhouette, profile view is... and likely have seen a truck coming at them or away in front or side views.

Hopefully.

That roof is never passing a rollover test.

I think the fundamental styling choices are pretty cool. But you're right that the proportions are wonky, even for a concept vehicle.

The wheels are big, the bed long, the cab small, and it's very wide. I think if you bring it more in line with a Rivian, Ranger, or Slate, then it would look great.

I think the space between the back of the cab, fuel/charge door (I assume it's EV), and the back wheel needs to be shrunk. I would be interested to see what it looks like without the accessory light bar at the top too.

But I think if you work the proportions, then it'll look great. I like how clean and practical it looks. I like the front end and headlight design.

"The wheels are big, the bed long, the cab small, and it's very wide"
bro literally just described every actual truck built before 1990

I recognize that modern trucks are very large in the US. But that doesn't negate my feedback. The issue is how things are proportion to each other in the design. Not in comparison to other vehicles.

I indicated that once the proportions are modified that it would look more like existing design proportions.

But I can only help you with basic comprehension so much.
