re: Toyota to bring mini trucks to US market

Seems like I’ve been seeing this for a few years now.

Yea but those are imported and at least 25 years old. Federal motor vehicle safety exempts safety requirements after 25 years.
EPA applies a separate 21 year exemption as long as it's the original unmodified stock engine.
The difference here is this will be built in the US, but appears they will be really gay with the speed limits. Probably best to still get a 25 year old one, or just buy a SXS.

Next week Reo is going to unveil their new start up compact body on frame truck that apparently is going to be a no frills 4 that they’re touting 500k miles on. Supposedly going to be 21 k and available as automatic or manual.
If it ever gets built it will be 28k.
These startups neglect economies of scale

I'm interested in the REO's. They are pro "right-to-repair". They say they have most things where you can get them off in 5 minutes... door panels, head liner, etc.

I'm always skeptical of new vehicle start-up companies.
Haha remember how they were going to build affordable Elio electric cars in Shreveport, Louisiana?

I just want them to make an extended version of the Sequoia to compete with the Suburban, Yukon XL, Expedition MAX

We've been down this road already...

Those don't look to me to obey safety regulations.

I need way more truck than that for hauling around my ego

This! 70 series with a diesel please!

I see Kei trucks pretty regularly around here in NWFL

I don't understand what the point of a tiny truck is. Isn't the purpose of a truck supposed to be to carry big stuff? How can these tiny trucks do that?

Needs a 6” diff drop lift and 20” black fuels for me to be interested.

Terrorists use these all over the ME. Usually fit with a gun mount in the bed

Yeah, and Chad used those trucks in their war against Libya.
But these mini-trucks are a lot smaller than the trucks used in war are.

I can’t think of any business that need fleets of 25 mph trucks. Maybe airports.

Max payload of 600lbs and top speed of 25mph.
Those are calculated based on Japanese engineers and mathematics. It’ll be unrecognizable after dem baws out in the country get to tinkering.

Toyota says it's taking this approach to "help the company learn how it can best serve U.S. customers and use cases."
I put this in the Corporate Translator and got:
“Toyota needs to figure out how it can charge $30k for a truck that should sell for $10k.”
