Toyota's Tacoma Truck Concept


Toyota officially calls it the Tacoma Truck Concept but it�s more often referred to as the BTTF Truck, short for �Back to the Future,� because it recalls the classic 1985 Toyota pickup that Marty McFly drove away at the end of that movie.


Toyota still lives off the goodwill its Reagan-era compact pickups generated. The 1984-88 Toyota Truck and its famed 2.4-liter four-cylinder 22R and 22RE engines have virtually untarnished reputations for reliability and durability, at an inexpensive price.


The BTTF�s inside is retro too. The brown and tan interior features seats with genuine 20-year-old Recaro cloth inserts. The surplus patterns were found in the corner of a Toyota warehouse. There�s also a floor-mounted manual transfer case (also drawn from a Land Cruiser) lever next to the transmission shifter to switch the truck from two-wheel drive to 4-high or 4-low, instead of a modern dash-mounted electric t-case knob.
