Trailhunter with a short bed?

Did I see a 4 Gen Trailhunter with a short bed on another YouTube channel?

Yeah, pictures of one have been floating around for a few days.

 

I like it better in short bed! Even though I’m partial to my long bed Tacoma

 

Gotta say, those wheels look rad as fuck.

 

I would buy a Trailhunter without the snorkel. Before anyone says "well thats just an off road", no. Different bumper (front and rear) + different suspension.

 

Yup, that and the racks are items I would not want but would want everything else.

 

Notice the TH sports bar fits neatly into the existing bed’s deck rail, right where the cleats are inserted.

No doubt we’ll see a lot of those popping up on all trims, and I would presume possibly retro-fitted to Gen3’s, based on the similarities in bed width & tie downs systems.

 

You could just buy an OR and you aren't stuck with the hybrid, and uprade to the OME MT46 or BP51 suspension and have a more capable truck.

That high clearance bumper isn't going to make that much difference off road. I guess it looks coool, and looks better from the side than the front. Not that the TH is bad looking option.

 

Why would I do that? I want the hybrid, its the superior option.

 

I don't know if the hybrid is worth the price, the OR just gives you the option if you want it or not. Probably won't be any hybrids available until 2026.

 

Only until the battery needs replacing..... Something to be said for a straight up gas model. Does not have the torque but could have a much better longevity.

 

Hybrid batteries last longer than most people keep their vehicles. Even if it doesn’t, replacing a 1.8kwh battery after a quarter million miles will be very cheap. You can buy more lithium storage than that right now for like $400
