86 Pickup truck

https://www.carscoops.com/2018/12/na...-pickup-truck/

"Built on the latest Toyota 86, it’s body has been transformed to include a Lamborghini Urus-inspired design and a truck bed behind the front seats, which has been stretched out considerably so as to match the Lambo SUV front end aesthetic.
Unlike a real Lamborghini Urus, this so-called ‘Super Sports Pickup Truck’ is powered by a modified version of the Toyota 86’s (and Subaru BRZ’s) 2.0-liter unit with 270 PS (266 HP) and 304 Nm (224 lb-ft) of torque at its disposal. It’s also fitted with a TRUST GReddy T517Z Turbo Kit. Of course, it pales in comparison to the Urus’ 4.0-liter twin turbocharged V8 engine, which produces 650 PS (641 HP) and 850 Nm (627 lb-ft) of torque."

Making use of that tiny backseat area?

I hope they build it so those Ozzy's will come up with a mini super-ute racing series.

Not anymore if you want new.

Our government got sick of bailing out GM-H.

People got sick of poor build quality and poor reliability.

The last SS rolled of the line more than a year ago.

Ford Australia went the way of the Dodo due to similar circumstances.

Sad in some ways, but we were flogging a dead horse with our economy.

I thought this was going to be about a 1986 Toyota Pickup.


I am sorely disappointed

It was a sad day when they went out of production (although I wasn't familiar with the build quality issues). I kept hoping GM would bring the UTE to the US, particularly the Redline. I would have signed up for one the day it went on sale.

Hmmm...going to have to break out the sawz-all to dance the bed on that one. Ford is bringing the Ranger back, but it's darn near the same size as the F150, they forgot the "mini" part.

How about we just bring back the Nissan 720?
