Tan squarebody pickup

A tan squarebody pickup head-on in low light, with a wide slatted grille, a bright bar across its middle and two stacked rectangular headlights at each end, and little else to go on.

In low orange light this crop supports a shape and a colour, and that is the honest limit. The truck faces the camera square. The grille is a wide rectangle of horizontal slats, split into sections by vertical bars, with a bright bar running across the middle through both headlight housings and a small emblem at its centre that does not resolve. Each housing holds two stacked rectangular headlights.

That lamp arrangement is the one clue to age. The American trucks this shape follows had single round headlights in their early years and rectangular ones later, stacked two to a side on the better trims, so this truck reads later than the round-lamp squarebodies elsewhere in this database.

The paint reads tan or light brown in this light. The cab roof is flat and the windscreen upright, with a mirror on each door, and through the glass the boards of a wooden fence show behind the cab. A plain bumper runs under the grille. The white cab of another vehicle stands behind it at the right of the crop, and a red post in the foreground cuts across the right-hand corner of the crop.

The same frame holds the dark blue muscle coupe facing the camera head-on, a cream SUV at the left edge and a woman in a red bandana with a pistol raised. None of that is in this crop, which is built around the truck.

How to recognise it

• Wide grille of horizontal slats, split across the middle by a bright bar through both headlight housings
• Two stacked rectangular headlights at each end of the grille
• Tan or light brown paint, flat cab roof, upright windscreen
• A plain bumper under the grille and a mirror on each door
• A small emblem at the centre of the grille, not legible

The frame it comes from

The frame is Extended Look at 11:36.00. It is 3840 by 2160, and the vehicle occupies 537 by 280 of it. Also in it: a dark blue muscle coupe, a cream SUV, a light pickup with a yellow side stripe, and an armed woman in a red bandana.

How this was measured

These figures come from the dataset, not from the prose above. We measure everything and claim what counts. How we work

What we still do not know

• Almost everything behind the front. The crop is small and shows the truck head-on only.
• The name, and the manufacturer
• Whether this is the same model as the beige squarebody, in a different colour
• Everything measured: top speed, payload, price, where it spawns
