Toyota Tonka Hilux Concept in Australia

I found this new concept Toyota Tonka Hilux designed for Australia. The report I read said the Toyota Hilux was the number one selling vehicle in Australia last year. They are looking at building a new model like this for that market. They installed a 6" lift kit & metal undercarriage plating for off-road. Not usually a yellow fan but this truck looks sick! I wish they offered it for the USA! Would you buy this truck if it came to the USA?

 

Awesome rig for sure.
The problem with answering the question, "would I buy one", is that it's so heavily modified I'm completely unsure what a market release would look like or cost. Do I want one? Hella yes!

 

Let's just pretend budget isn't an issue and dream for a bit. It's a concept so you know they didn't have a budget. Concepts almost never come to market the way they are shown. I'm sure the truck shown has over a 100k in their build budget.

 

So....much.....want

 

Would I buy one if it came here? Hell, I'm thinking about moving there!

 

The stance makes it look like it's long travel. I could probably do w/o the Tonka theme. I wonder how hard it would be to import one?

 

They're gonna make this truck KNOWN!!

 

The tonka theme is to inspire y'all to buy one for your kids!

 

Not exactly what my daughters are hoping for. I've only got about a 1.5 yrs 'til we'll be looking for something for my oldest. I wouldn't mind seeing 'em in toyota trucks though, pretty safe vehicles in my opinion.

 

BA! Do I want one? Yes. Would I trade my Tundy for one? Nope. There's a reason I left my Taco behind for more room and power. But if it came here, would it replace the Taco?

 

Hell ya I'd buy one ...

Tundra - for the family
Hilux - for myself!

 

I'll take the rims and tires !!!

 

One more time.... American get shit on, and look what over the pond has..

 

Ha! You guys are over here wanting new hiluxs, I'll be in my corner drooling over these plus it is a diesel!
