It's a concept... Pay less attention to the looks and more to the 8 liter turbo diesel...

I'm on my 3rd Toyota truck and I think it'll be the last one unless they change course with the body style changes. They're looking more and more flat along the sides each year.

That is a nice truck, especially the one with single tires in the back, I am not one for dual tires in the rear. Makes for a wider vehicle and when I go offroad I like my vehicle to not be too big.

I finally got around to clicking on the link and looking at the pic.
It reminds me of the boom boxes I used to see back in the 80s. Not the mainstream ones that were pretty functional and reasonable, but the tricked out ones from the Japanese market that were huge, oversized, with lots of blaring LEDs and flashing/moving lights on them. Technological attention whores, essentially.
This gives me the same sort of feeling. A little big and bulbous and overlarge for perhaps the purpose of compensating for a lack of height or some other inadequacy. Does that make sense?

Toyota has long been the vehicle of choice of terrorists, third-world warlords and assorted other nutballs for years because they were practical, they run pretty good right up to the moment the driver detonates or a missile hits it, and maintenance is dumping gas in the tank.
What self-respecting lunatic is going to buy, beg, borrow or steal a monster truck that looks like....well....a Ford F250?
Bring back the 2000-2003(?) Toyota Tacoma...it had the right wheel base, sleek body style, rugged underside and they were good on gas mileage.
My Ford Ranger is still ticking along but since I'm a Tacoma boy..raised there...there may be a Toy in my future, and it'll be my last truck purchase, most likely. If they don't get too much uglier, that is.
(Apologies to Action Betty...her Toyota is a deep blue, it rocks on gravel roads, but they're making the damn things too big...and with gas prices skyrocketing, America is gonna go small again...)

I have to say, I dont like the "fullsize" Toyota trucks...Hubby tried to talk me into one of those tundras. I will stick with my little Tacoma.
I used to own a ranger..brand new 1988.. it never broke down and I traded it in after it reached 100K miles for a lemon of a hot rod V-8 camaro (it was fun to drive though)
My mom had a 1990 Toyota PU 5 speed way back when.. I reallllllly like that body style the most.
Is the gas mileage so great with a deisel that it compensates the outrageous prices? (serious question..i'm mechanically ignorant)
