It does receive a new FX2 Package, which adds off-road capability to rear-wheel drive models. This package includes body-side decals and upgrades in performance including an electronic-locking rear differential, trail-tuned suspension package, and off-road tires.

Additional improvements for 2020 include a trio of exterior colors including Race Red, Iconic Silver, and Rapid Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat.
