There’s a third difference: count the hook pieces or whatever they’re called on the sides. The first one has two, the second three.

I can’t tell which one emphasizes form and which one functionality. It’s like those “find the differences” pictures, they look the same to me sometimes

This old thread appears to be about this MOC. The description given seems to match though the original imagines are missing. So Memory’s assessment was exactly right.

It looks to me like the front end is different too, probably because the ‘function’ version is stronger. I know my cars tend to have to lose a little hidden SNOT if I want them to roll.

The only thing I can think of is that the Fuction over Form version has a working tailgate that, in order for it to work, necessitates using smaller wheels and a taller tailgate. Whereas the Form over Function version can use the larger wheels but the wheel plate takes up the space where the hinge would have gone.

Honestly, both look good.

I think its just up to the builder’s preference.

Yep, this one’s a head-scratcher.

I’m not too clear on this either besides the obvious stuff mentioned.
