2023 Toyota Tacoma X-Runner Concept

Toyota’s X-Runner Concept has a go at bringing back the sport truck with a lowered, modified Tacoma. Adam Rabinowitz, chief designer at Toyota’s Calty Design Research, Inc. shared a part of the team’s thought process. “There were lots of street trucks in the early 2000s and they all faded, so on the one hand, this was a curiosity check to see if there is any market for street trucks at all, or if the market has entirely shifted to what we see today-tough, rugged, lifted vehicles.”
