Alternating red and yellow backgrounds appear with white text inlaid. The text is in 3 different horizontal lines, the middle line simply being a massive, all-caps word (“CAR”).

Yellow background appears with white letters inlaid. Three vertically-stacked words appear, the middle being the operative word. It is the largest and isn’t white like the other two, but filled with footage from the action it is describing. For haul we see a man loading wood into the bed of a truck. For tow, a red truck tows a large boat towards the camera. For climb, a jeep navigates up a steep rock. And for work we see a hand sporting a work glove grab a piece of plywood from the bed of a white truck.
