Toyota’s $10,000 future pickup truck

quote:
No screens, no radio. Heck, it doesn’t even have a tachometer. The Toyota IMV 0 is like other modern cars in that it doesn’t have many switches on the interior, but in this case, it’s because there’s almost nothing to turn on and off. Based on the same platform as the Hilux, Toyota’s global market pickup, the IMV 0 starts as a blank template of four wheels, flatbed, and two-door cab. Of course, if you want to add some amenities, Toyota will be glad to add them on, and it’s likely that, like the Hilux, fancier models will be available depending on where it's sold. But let’s take a moment to appreciate the bare necessities.

My first truck cost $600 used. 10 years old. 1964 GMC. 6 cyl, four speed manual. Had the optional heater but no other options. No inside mirror, no armrests. No radio. No anything.

Simple as a brick, reliable as a claw hammer. I loved that truck. It taught me to prize reliability over any other attribute when it comes to vehicles.

I’d be a customer for this Toyota.

Completely useless if it can't pull a two-horse trailer. A 2 liter engine is much too small.

Same here.

We downsized to one car last year when we sold the 2003 Toyota Sienna minivan. I'm fine with the one car arrangement and like the Subie Outback, but I miss having the larger cargo area to bring home my garden center purchases. That basic Toyota pickup would be perfect. And I'd love to have a manual transmission again...still haven't gotten used to those newfangled automatics...

I would be a customer. Unfortunately, it does not appear that those of us in the US will be able to purchase one.

Read the comments associated with the article; there's lots of enthusiasm for this vehicle. People are talking about going to Mexico to buy one.

Might buy one. I miss my pickups.

There are a lot of tough little basic trucks like this in Central America. Not available in the US.

Not sure Americans want them anyway.

Should have kept my $800 88 Commanche. Gre3at little truck, huge clearance. My 2000 Ram was a disappointment starting around 60K.
