TRD Maniac

If a repost, I apologize in advance.

It looks like Toyota's TRD division is trying to come up with some off road racing competition for the Ford SVT Raptor. This Tacome has a TRD superchargerd 4.0 V6 with the new air to liquid intercooler.

Why would anybody buy a truck with TuRD on the side of it? Kinda says it all, don't ya think?

Say what you want, but Toyota is one of the BEST in off road racing in places like Baja and what not.... The truck is obviously a concept, and would most likely have some finishing done.... but I like the fact that they are still willing to put things like this out..

14" of suspension travel, holy ****.... Yanno, that would be pretty awesome to take out in the dirt.... that paint job is crap...but man...that would be fun..

If it's not Dodge, it's pretty much butt ugly to you....

The vehicle is designed for off road racing...it's not going to be pretty....

Totally, utterly and completely incorrect. Those who know me well, know that is untrue. Hell, if you'd paid attention to quite a few of my posts...

I'm not assuming, you do make numerous comments about cars being ugly. The Dodge part however was an exaggeration.

Nonetheless, this vehicle is more about showing capabilities then necessarily production. A production pickup with 14" of suspension travel and a supercharged V6 that could still get say 20mpg would be very impressive....

Can we say new Dakota maybe?
