Would you do this to your taco?

Not all styles translate between countries. Just wondered what people think about this Australian ARB canopy:

Would you put it on your 3rd Gen as part of an ARB build?

I'll pass

It is interesting though!

 

Kinda dig it. Would have to see it in person though.

 

I guess ARB doesn’t get it do they. That buttress revolting looks has been long sailed with the Aztek and the Ridgeline and the weird GM designs. Good luck selling that

 

You are forgetting the Subaru Baja.

 

I was curious to know if they had a long bed version. I went to the site and there is no tacoma to choose from. Only hilux, and 2 other models.

 

There’s plenty of new and recent production trucks/suvs with that same style of rear canopy in South Korea.

 

depends....if the ARB build was say free, as in BP51's dakars front bumper air lockers etc etc.....if it was free, I'd do the trade off, but other than that......no

 

Yeah. I think that one look will def catch on.

Is it already that long that we’re starting to see the flying buttresses retro making a come back?

 

No way would I make my Tacoma look like onna those honda things.

 

The boat tail would probably increase gas mileage

 

The rearward visibility would suck, and a lot less room that a “normal” canopy. Like driving the worlds largest hatchback.

The only advantage I could see is access to most of the bed without “crawling in the back” or reaching through a side hatch like a normal canopy. I wonder if that’s a real advantage. I would guess the main reason people would buy one is because they think it looks cool, or they’ve been dipping a little too far into the

 

Pontiac Aztec throw back?

 

Couple more pics from ARB. Wonder if we’ll start to see these in North America:

 

If I ever put one of these on my truck it had damn well better be at the same time as the flux capacitor mod.

 

You'll start to see them in north America when you start to see hiluxes here. So basically never.

 

No...Makes it look like the Honda Ridgeline

 

Or a Chevy Avalanche

 

Unique factor is high.
