Toyota Creates the Ultimate Motocross Truck

Here at Deland Toyota Scion, we see a lot of people looking for a pickup truck that will make their lives easier. Models like the 2012 Toyota Tacoma and 2012 Toyota Tundra usually do just that. In fact, for over a decade, the Toyota Tundra has proven to be a hardworking pickup that provides the advanced technology today's drivers are looking for.

But at this year's SEMA show in Vegas, Toyota showed up with a whole new variant of the trusty Tundra. The Japanese automaker teamed up with DC Shoes and West Coast Customs to create the Ultimate Motocross Truck. With feedback from DC Shoes' Motocross Athletes,  West Coast Customs built the kind of powerful truck that will suit the life of a rider.

They started with a Tundra Double Cab 4x4 with a 5.7-liter V8 engine mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. Then they added pretty much anything a Motocross rider could possibly need: a suspension lift from Camburg Racing; shocks by Fox Racing, KMC 18 x 9-inch wheels mounted to 35 x 12.5 x 18 tires; custom paint by Line-X; a roof rack that doubles as a viewing deck; fold-up bed sides; a suicide tailgate; a gas pump and water pressure washer in the bed; an air compressor; a winch; a hidden ramp; and even a custom interior.

Pretty cool, right? Well stay tuned, rumor has it that Toyota will be showing off this high-utility Tundra variant at other shows, including the St. Louis Auto Show, North American International Auto Show, and 2012 Supercross Series. And be sure to catch it on the Discovery Channel show, "Inside West Coast Customs," this month!
