Toyota's EV truck concept is a 'sub-Tacoma' with some tricks up its sleeve.
Every now and then in this business, I come across a concept car that an automaker would be crazy not to build. After seeing it for myself at the Japan Mobility Show today, I'm convinced the Toyota EPU Concept fits that bill. If Toyota doesn't build this compact electric pickup truck, then it must not enjoy making money. Now, Toyota won't say whether or not the EPU Concept is headed for production or not.
'We didn't want it to be a toy.' Much of that capability comes from the bed, which has a trick pass-through system like the old Chevy Avalanche and Subaru XT. Takahashi showed me how it works: you fold the rear seats and then a gate opens up to allow access to the bed, perfect for hauling 4x4s or long objects. An underrated feature in trucks, I've always thought.
