    I'll give it a yeah, because there is probably a market out there for some folks that think this is "just the ticket"

    Motorhomes aren’t my thing but this looks neat. I’ll give it a “yeah” with the caveat that it’s probably too small for American sized bodies.

    It would be better if built on a Tundra V8 platform.

    If a pass thru is not critical, a company in Woodland can build you a bum fort on your Tacoma.

    Looks like a reboot of the mini truck platform campers you used to see in the 70s and early 80s. I bet it's a party in a crosswind, say the 15 between St. George and Salt Lake City.

    I'll say the same thing that I say for most of these types of builds: Cool, but it would make more sense on a full-size truck.

    And most trucks with trailers aren't meant to either. Leave early, drive slow, arrive safe. It's always the guys that think they need to do 75 uphill pulling a house that are blowing tires and burning up brakes on the interstate.

    Holy crap, if you go through the Japanese website it apparently comes optional with a hillbilly trailer which, I shit you not, is made from the ass end of a chopped up Hilux truck.

    Redneck ingenuity making it all the way over to the land of Yamato.

    Or get a hotel room or sleep in a tent vs being pelted by trucks in the slow lane.
