Tacoma X-Runner RTR!!
Amazing Tacoma X-Runner. A truck made from standard Toyota vehicles! Check out the whole article!
"The X-Runner RTR (Ready To Race) started life as a standard Tacoma X-Runner, then received a full complement of “go fast” goodies to ensure it lives up to its name. The twist here? All components used in the build (except the truck’s traction bars and driveline shaft) are production parts from today’s Toyota lineup. This includes the motivating force behind the X-Runner RTR: A 5.7-liter V8 engine lifted from a Toyota Tundra." from Toyotainthenews.com
