In a nod to the brand's own history of building reliable trucks for a wide range of customers and purposes, Toyota present their Tacoma Truck Retro Concept at SEMA 2008. It brings the Tacoma to its bare foundations, featuring a 4-cylinder engine mated to a four-speed transmission and solid front axle-equipped four-wheel-drive.
Reminiscent of its 80s predecessors, American Racing wheels, Bushwhacker flares and a Grant's Kustoms roll pan are featured. Grill, bumpers and lights are also custom, as is the Retro Concept's brown interior with Recaro fabric and retro stripes finishing touch.
TACOMA TRUCK CONCEPT
The Tacoma Truck Concept is a fun look back to Toyota's long-standing heritage of building highly capable, durable trucks that met the needs of a wide variety of drivers. Rather than focus on flash or power, this concept looks towards capability and efficiency by showcasing Toyota's venerable 4cyl engine, but mating it to a 4-speed automatic transmission and solid front axle-equipped 4WD system. Tied thematically to the Toyota Trucks from the 80's, the Tacoma Truck features American Racing AR23 wheels, BF Goodrich tires, Buchwacker flares, KC Daylighter lights and a Grant's Kustoms roll pan.
