Tacoma X-Runner Concept (SEMA 2023)

Hey, Guys! I'm at SEMA with Lexus and Toyota today. They just debuted a Tacoma X-Runner concept that they are thinking about bringing to production if there is enough interest. Would you buy a street-performance Tacoma with the Tundra's twin-turbo V6?

That Mount-Everest hoodline in front of the driver, particularly with the scoop, may have actually outdone the Silverado LOL.

This is not a raised truck, but rather low. The hood is massively lower than that of a Silverado.

I love it! A neighbor had an X-Runner. I think it's super fun!

Not from that camera angle at least. Perhaps it is just the camera lens, but the hood and scoop looks o me like an obstacle in front of the windshield. I get the same effect on the Silverado. and GMC Sierra.

i still want the older x-runner but they are very rare and usually overpriced. this one, if went into production, would likely be overpriced as a limited edition.
