Master craftsman Jojo illustrates a fairly classic dilemma for LEGO builders: form over function or function over form. The differences are, for the most part, subtle but the ‘form over function’ design is definitely a little prettier.

The only differences I can make out are the rear wheels and back panel. Can the larger wheels not turn?
I don’t get it either…

I’m not too clear on this either besides the obvious stuff mentioned.
Yep, this one’s a head-scratcher.
Honestly, both look good.
I think its just up to the builder’s preference.
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.
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.
I like the top one more
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.
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 :)
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.
