It's a beautifully proportioned little rig. I really need to pickup an x4m one of these days

I'm not ordering one, but if I come across a red one in a store it will be hard to refuse. I hope this means the Ford dentside will be along shortly -- that in the brown color will be a day one purchase.

My thoughts as well. If I didn’t just finish one project and ready to “weather” it, I still have two more on the workbench waiting for bodies to arrive and one of them to build.

Looks like I'll have to add another one of these TRX4m's to my overpopulated garage!

They did a great job on the body! Nice job Traxxas!

I love it. Need a red one to match my full size. I do really wish that some of these square body designs would use the newer square headlight design though. Those are generally more popular out in the real world, and yet most of the scale designs all use the older round headlight front end.

Axial\proline stepside=square headlight
Gmade buffalo=square headlight
Ascender=square headlight
Clodbuster=square headlight
Rc4wd=round headlight
Traxxas=round headlight

I'm sure I'm missing some here in both styles but they both seem to be represented in the hobby. I will say there aren't that many hardbody options of either but again there are some of each there too.

I’ve been entertaining the idea of getting a TRX4M, but didn’t really care for the previous stock body options. This one is much more appealing.

Certain hobby shops have black ones, they're exclusive until 12/30/23 then they will be released to all, the way I understand it. I have a Bronco & Defender so I guess now that I need the High Trail to finish my collection. It is a nice looking truck for sure.

I had a black 1976 Silverado back in my younger days! So hope these black beauties will be available later on!

If you have an Inclusive Traxxas Shop in your area you can get one sooner. The closest one to me is Paducah, Ky. Wasn't clear if they had an online store if they could sell them that way.

Just picked a new Bronco last week. Not my favorite body TBH, but I wanted something different from the Defender. I said to myself, "Self - the minute you order it, they'll come out with a new one with a body you'll probably like more."

2 days after I received it, boom. Of course.

One of my LHS's already has one in hand. It's very nice looking!

I do have a Hobbytown 30 minutes from me that usually has new Traxxas models on display before they are available to the public.

I'll have to keep an eye out there to see if it shows up.

I think Hobby Town is now part of Amain Hobbies so I don't think they will have the black one. Here's a link to the exclusive Traxxas dealers.

Ah, didn't realize there was Exclusive Dealers like you mentioned earlier.

Thanks for link! Looks like the closest dealer to me is in Lorain, Ohio about 50 miles from me. I may have to plan a road trip!

Yes, very capable and great looking little Turks, loving my little Bronco! A few free and some bought mods really up their game too. Laid hands on a blue Chevy High Trail Cheyenne10 at LHS (a Traxxas Exclusive Dealer) yesterday and it looks amazing, wow! Tires are taller than the other TRX4Ms and feel stickier too, might buy a set of them to mount on my backup beadlock wheelset. Ideal sized micro class at 1/18th scale with real machine screws instead of self-tappers, easily modded and very scale.
