The sport truck scene has long been overtaken and overshadowed by the off-road contingent. While no automaker currently offers a street-oriented performance model, Toyota on Tuesday revived a piece of that sport truck history by way of the new Tacoma X-Runner concept. Fans of street trucks are surely familiar with the original Tacoma X-Runner, which arrived on the market for 2005.
The reflash ups output figures to 421 hp and 479 lb-ft of torque, which is fed to a solid rear axle borrowed from the Tundra. An electronic limited-slip differential and the air suspension setup from the Tundra are also included. In order to help the truck perform, Toyota sourced stiffer springs, which work in tandem with 2.5-inch Bilstein remote reservoir shocks. No X-Runner would be complete without some sporty styling upgrades, and this particular build does not disappoint.
