My dream package...

On the way to work this morning I thought how cool it would be to pair a truck with our FR-S. So how about a Toyota Tacoma X-Runner painted whiteout from the FR-S? Great handling compact truck with a great sports car. You can tow your FR-S to the track with the X-Runner and then take both of them racing. I love seeing the Truck/Car and Truck/Motorcycle combos. And I did some research and found a great X-Runner concept that would be perfect to handle the towing needs. This thing has 504 HP from a Tundra Supercharge V8. Sorry this maybe a little off-topic.But I think this combo is the ultimate weekend package. Any comments?

I dont think tacomas are compact truck anymore. Sure the tundra is still larger but ehrn you compare new tacomas to ones from the nineties, they are huge.

Just paired mine up with a used Suburban. Now, I just need to measure it for ramps so I can use it to carry the FR-S Knight Rider style!

I'd have the Chevy painted Firestorm but I'm afraid it would get mistaken for an emergency response vehicle.

Sorry, but I only go American when it comes to trucks. Trucks are like muscle cars, the bigger the better. My dream would be to have a Ford F-150 Velociraptor towing my TRD FR-S.

Also, compact truck? Isn't that just a pickup truck?

Should have kept my Taco...

But yeah, 05-present Taco is 3 inches smaller than a first gen Tundra.
