Automakers Are Having Fun With Easter Eggs, Too

As you know, there are two types of Easter eggs: the chocolate ones that children are hunting on a day like today, and the various messages or images hidden in movies, video games, software or other media.

Automakers, too, can play this game. Here’s a photo gallery showing some of the many Easter eggs found in modern vehicles.

A T-Rex devours a raptor under the airbox cover of the Ram 1500 TRX. Poor Ford F-150 Raptor...

In the centre console storage, Ram found another way to show how the TRX trumps the F-150 Raptor.

The hood grille on the Wrangler emulates Jeep's iconic seven-slot front grille.

This plaque inside the Wrangler's tailgate contains all sorts of specs including exterior dimensions.

The side view of a Jeep Gladiator Rubicon is depicted on the gearshift knob. 

A silhouette of the legendary Willys MB appears on the wheels of the Jeep Gladiator Rubicon, not to mention the lower corner of the windshield.

The same silhouette obviously pops up in the Jeep Wrangler. Here: a Wrangler 392 with eight-speed automatic transmission.

The electric Volkswagen ID. Buzz has many Easter eggs. This one inside the cabin is pretty cool.

A winking smiley can be found behind the door handles in the Volkswagen ID. Buzz.

The GMC Hummer EV interior features a topographical map of the Sea of Tranquility (complete with an astronaut's footprint) etched onto the speaker grilles.

The icon for the Lights settings in the GMC Hummer EV shows the truck crushing its future rival, the Tesla Cybertruck.

Open the gas door on the Ford Bronco and you'll see a trio of first-gen Ford Bronco models: the U13 Roadster, U14 Half Cab pickup and U15 SUV.

The Ford Bronco's roll cage features a piece of trim with a mountain range engraved in it, along with the coordinates 34.5261 North, 116.75685 West. This is a nod to Johnson Valley, California, home of the King of the Hammers race, which Ford sponsors and has tested the Bronco at.

Ford has incorporated many bucking broncos throughout its various Bronco models. One of the more obvious ones is found on the rear hatch. 

The same bucking bronco can also be found on the headlight lenses of the Ford Bronco Sport.

An optional graphics package on the Ford F-150 Raptor R features a unique design that mirrors the harsh, cracked desert earth. The number "8" is repeated over and over as a nod to the 700-horsepower V8 under the hood. 

When opening up the liftgate of the Toyota 4Runner, you’ll find a nice little Easter egg: the evolution of the 4Runner is illustrated through five generations.

A topographical map of Mount Denali is etched onto the wooden dashboard panel of the GMC Sierra 1500 Denali Ultimate.

The seat belts in the Volvo XC90 are a reminder that Volvo invented them back in 1959.
