I already got permission to buy this truck...if I get all the bills paid off by then.





Link to page: Toyota X-Runner

Quote:
"The Tacoma X-Runner sits low to the ground (one full inch lower than the standard 2WD Tacoma frame) and features ground effects body paneling around the entire vehicle to give it a low and wide look. In fact, the X-Runner's frame is 4 inches wider and 5 inches longer than the standard frame. This increases the interior dimensions (translation: more than four extra inches of shoulder room) as well as giving the vehicle a more aggressive stance.

Sitting 18-inch 45-series V-rated radials on alloy wheels, the X-Runner is pushed by a four-liter, 240 horsepower V6 engine with 275 pounds of torque - compare this to the 190 horsepower 3.4 liter engine in the 2003 4WD Tacoma and S-Runner. The optional TRD supercharger (currently a $3000 TRD part for 2003 Tacomas) raises this to around 300 horsepower. This Tacoma is built for speed and power. And the numbers prove it: zero to 60 acceleration is 7.0 seconds - six seconds with the supercharger. Handling, according to Mr. Esmond, was up to 0.9g's of lateral acceleration, and on par with the X-Runner's testing companion, the Nissan 350Z"

What do you think it will cost??? (Zoom!!!!)

 

why the 4x2, and not a 4x4?

Price will probably be about the same for the v6 and about $800-1500 more for the v8. Just my guess, no figures to back this up.

 

At least 20k. Just a guess though.

 

I already have my 91 4x4...I want something to get through rush-hour traffic on the way to work.

 

What are those 40 or 45 series ricer rubber band tires doing on a Toyota truck!? :pat:

 

Better not come stock with one of those coffee can mufflers!

 

That's what I was wondering. The wheels/tires look very disproportional to the whole truck. I say up the size of the tires a little, and maybe inch up the wheels.

 

that ain't a truck!

 

Wait a tick... That's a Tacoma?! Its huge! I thought tacoma's were supposed to be mini-trucks. That looks like a street machine Tundra. I have seen the Street Tacoma done before, and they can look real good, but the tacoma there is just too big to be considered a tacoma. Are they releasing any smaller ones?

 

nope. apparently they think we don't want mini trucks any more
