I'd end up pulling it too far back and it would snap.

Say what you will. Make the wheels smaller and you have a pretty useful tuck if you're in the city.
It's absurd and hilarious and I love it.
But is it just a stock Tacoma with big wheels or did they do more body mods to it? It looks way smaller than even older style trucks like the bed was shortened or something but that could just be an illusion due to the size of the wheels.
A stump truck
Fun fact, if you take the pullback wheel thing out of a toy car, wind it up and let it go, it jumps around all over the place. When I was a kid in the 80s we called them "crazy wheels."
I'll bet this little stub truck does the same thing lol
I unironically love it.
Same and I have no interest in a truck. It just looks so functional and useful.
That's got to be like a 3 foot bed? I just don't get how that's useful vs a hatchback with the seats down?
Completely open top, much less restriction on what you can put in. Hatchbacks can't do that. It's just a large trunk. Presumably can also sustain heavier loads.
I'm now imagining a bundle of 2x4s vertically sticking up 6 feet.
I think I've only once or twice had something not fit the hatchback because the roof was too low. And those items wouldn't have fit in a 3-4 foot bed either. Plus a proper hatchback should have roof racks to put oversize cargo on anyway.
I'm not arguing a 5+ foot bed isn't better than a hatch (my 97 Taco with 6 foot bed comes in handy sometimes), but the shorty beds make me laugh.
Furniture and other large objects won't fit into a hatchback
I should probably have mentioned at some point that I work in film production, so the possibilities with a vehicle like this for me are endless lol Especially given how small it is compared to your standard pick up truck in the US. Can squeeze this thing holding a lot of weirdly shaped shit into a lot of places.
Being able to load dirt or yard waste is a biggie. You can hose it out when you’re done.
That said a trailer hitch on a hatchback gets you more versatility than this.
Hatchbacks fucking suck compared to a similar sized truck for transport.
Too high off the ground
I don’t hate it….in fact I kinda like it
Gotta admit, though, it looks like some nice bodywork. ATBGE
This looks like the truck equivalent of a really short guy with huge muscles and a perpetual scowl, who always keeps his shoulders directly above his knees and his hands in karate-chop pose while he walks.
You know, it absolutely does. It does look like him..
Steal a manhole cover, paint it to look like a penny.
I just realized that I had to think for a while about what a penny looks like. God we banned them here in Canada so long ago...
And I'm so happy we got rid of them.
You sound like someone who hasn't seen the glorious ATF violation know as penny coin shot.
Two patents exist for quarter-shooting pistols designed for shooting coins at toll booth baskets from 1965 and 1988. Source: wikipedia.
This is the world AnCap libertarians want.
Oh no I was referring to cutting pennies into halves and quarters, then putting them into 12 gauge shells.
I want to pull it backwards until it disappears
That's what she said?
I mean this is basically the chode of vehicles. It's the accurate representation of what those lifted hibeam smokestack truck owners are actually like lol
Edit: Those mfers are Tonka tough. Still going through life with the mind of a toddler.
Nah this thing has purpose, unlike most ridculous obnoxious lifted trucks that are poor for both offroading and towing. This would almost definitely perform extremely well offroad and likely was made just to be an offroader. It might not be your hobby or taste, and that's fine, but someone has created a really cool and special vehicle here
Eh it doesn't look like a purpose-built offroader to me. I mean you could do a lot worse offroad than with this thing, but there's a few reasons that make it pretty obvious that this was just made for the fun aesthetic: 1 It doesn't have very much room for suspension to travel at all, compromising high-speed desert and dune riding. 2. Due to reason 1, it's articulation is likely very poor, compromising it's technical trail riding abilities. Maybe it could hold it's own when mudding? But then again, those aren't quite the best wheels and tires for the job and I see no snorkel either, so I doubt that it does. So yeah I'm almost certain that they chopped it up not with the intention to make a solid off-road vehicle but because "lol wouldn't it be hilarious?" Don't look for logic in or underestimate the enginuity of a bored, slightly buzzed dude with a welder.
Its most likely a little of both. Definitely agree about the suspension travel, its like the first thing I noticed. Sacrificing the most ideal offroading design for the silliness of the build does not make it not purpose-built, and it also is not the same category as your average lifted grocery getter with massive rims and paper thin tires
For sure, this thing actually looks hella fun to drive!
Yep - pulled up next to a Small-Penis-Mobile the other day, new Ford extra cab, super duty diesel, with that stupid Roosh package no less, so we know he paid a LOT extra. And it was black, shiny and clean, even the tires. Fucking garage queen for a twat.
Lifted, stupid tires, some stupid gizmo in the receiver.
I bet I've towed more with my 20-year-old "toy truck" than that douchebag ever will. Oh, and he was on speakerphone holding the phone up with his right hand, going 5mph under the limit, holding up traffic.
I probably get better fuel economy with 250k on the odometer, and I don't spew out the crap he does.
Asshat.
and i bet they go WEEEEEEE whenever they drive it
I sure would!
Okay, yeah you have me converted. I'm definitely not a vehicle elitist and am all for purpose lol my initial reaction was how to like it is from the post and how those types of people continually infantile themselves to their own detriment.
This is unironically awesome. Needs a bigger lift to give room for suspension travel though
Look at the DUMPY on that thing
That thing has to turn weirdly.
Mmm why?
Looks like if you accelerate too quickly it will do a backflip.
Probably turns on a dime and crawl and fit around hazards offroad like a champ
As in quickly, and with style?
I can only imagine the complaining of those tires as you try to turn. And heaven help you if you installed some kind of limited-slip differential.
Lil, I was just wondering today if something like this existed. A truck with the small two-seat cab and a bed that matches today's truck aspect ratios.
World's biggest RC car.
Truck equivalents of the Airbus A318 babybus aren't real, they can't hurt you
