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.

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..

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 wouldn't mind driving a TSX.

My favorite specific, none Chrysler vehicles are (order with the most from each brand):

Ferrari: F50, F430, F360, F335, Enzo, 550
Nissan: Skyline, GT-R, 350Z, 370Z, 300
Mazda: RX-7, 6, RX-8, Roadster, 3
BMW: M3, 760, 335, 745, 550
Mercedes: C63, SLR, CLK, S600, SLC
Cadillac: CTS, SLR, SLS, STS, Escalade
Lamborghini: Diablo, Gallardo, Murcielago
Mitsubishi: Evolution, 3000GT, Eclipse
Pontiac: G8, (new) GTO, Firebird (Newest gen)
Acura: NSX, TL, TSX
Toyota: Supra, MR2, Celica
Chevy: Corvette, Cobalt
Ford: Mustang (60's, newest gen)
Saleen: S7
Maserati: MC12
Subaru: WRX STi
Porsche: Carrera GT
McLaren: F1
Lotus: Elise 135R
Lincoln: Navigator

I'm sure I'm missing a few. Wow, looks like my favorite non Chrysler brands are Ferrari, Nissan, Mazda and BMW.
Never assume what you are trying to prove.

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?
