Hellcat 3rd Gen Tacoma from SEMA Show

So what you are saying we don’t even know if it could be driven out of the building? I don’t see what the point of building a truck is if it can’t be proven.

 

Naming it Hell-Taco instead of Taco-cat is grounds for perma ban in my book

 

I'm sure it's functional. I'm not sure if it's been tested to stand up to the abuse it looks like it's supposed to take. But it wouldn't be the first or last vehicle to be pushed in or out of SEMA

 

Okay, very well put.

 

Finally a Tacoma that can actually pass something on the road.

 

Mine passes a bunch of other vehicles in line for a gas pump

 

Funny enough my TRX, when driven like a normal person, got the same fuel economy as my 2nd and 3rd gens once they had larger all terrain tires put on and could go further with a tank that had 50% more capacity.

 

I know they put alot of work into the build so I'll give them credit for that, but if dont see this thing doing what the parts are made for then whats the point. So many builds out there are just made for the likes on the gram and parking lot shows.

 

It's already been described in the video as a family vehicle, so...

 

A lot of SEMA builds can't be driven, including several of Toyota's own. For example:



The X-Runner concept from last year had a Tundra transfer case but no front driveshaft.

 

SEMA cars are always a tossup.

It’s a good thing I don’t run SEMA because if a build wasn’t fully functional it wouldn’t get in.

 

SEMA 2025

 

Yeah, that’s how it would look if the vehicles aren’t functional no show IMO.

 

Am I alone in thinking the Tacoma Beast guy is a douchebag?

 

The light bar up top/grill recycle was clever.
He should get a bunch of people chopping their tundras and sellling the grill to Tacoma owners so they can buy a bracket from meso and install piles of money in Baja lights.

 

Nope. Search him and Arches National Park graffiti for even more.

 

I think both guys in that video are DB's.

That truck still has a Tacoma cab but that's it? Its a Dodge Tundra. This is what happens when you Fast and Furious a Tacoma, smh. What the actual F? The more I look at it, the more I hate it.

And ya, there's where all of Meso's time and money went.

 

Dude! It even had their stupid logo in the thumbnail! They thank you for their 49c and the ability to keep going instead of having a real job.

Btw, every time my kids eat cereal at our dining room table, I think: “Bert would have a Warn winch field stripped here instead of these dumb flowers I have in the center.”

 

Did you see the window they cut in the hood to show off the [likely Bluetooth] TRD supercharger?
