Cheapest Tacoma ever ;)

Mercedes ML pick up anyone?

 

Typical Chinese rip off.

 

Especially with a seating capacity of 28, twice as many as a moped there.

 

ha yeah.


makes me happy to be here (and not living in nyc)

 

that looks like an 89-95 toyota body, with front work from 05-11 tacoma..

interior is likely also very close to a toyota.

From what i understand, companys like this, Great Wall "deer" etc buy plans and some of the tooling from retired toyota designs and continue to produce them shitty and cheap for third world and china..

The Great wall "deer" built in china was all over iraq

 

here are examples of the 89-95 chinese copy

when i was in iraq, the ones we had were 2002 (this body style) and 2006 95-07 04ish front end tacoma clone if i remember right

 

Holy Sh*t

 

no fucking shit. trucks on trucks on trucks....

 

I always thought it would be nice to import some great wall beds and tailgates for all our rusted out yotas

and for whoever mentioned cheap chinese diesel swap.

If it was a running and driving swap for $500 total. then sure. otherwise your better off with ANY toyota engine, ever.. including the 20r

 

i would like to buy that whole lot full and just destroy one a week in the woods for the next few years.

Probably cost about 7k each new though.. little pricey

 

I wonder how reliable their non Japanese engines were...

 

not very. the one in that body style we had was broken, alot.

 

Then I would import those bodies, throw away the engine and do a JDM or Cummins Diesel swap. Would make a great off-road rig.

Probably a sh*tty frame tho

 

im sure it is. But it would be cool.

Id rather find an old yota frame and bring the china body over to it.

then like you mentioned above

 

Need a MOAB dropped on those copies, It would be awesome if Toyota pumped out classics like that though.

 

that would be sweet to watch. from a distance. or on slow motion camera. or both

And hell yes, even if they just sold them as offroad vehicles..

a 1985 toyota pickup sticker was less than most quads now. With markup and the break they would get from losing the DOT cert for street legal status.. it would likely still be cheaper than most side by sides.

 

Dang. And I thought knock off Coach purses and Beanie Babies were bad....

 

They even copy US military vehicles:

Chinese Hummer

 

its like a AM General HMMWV/ Toyota Mega Cruiser hybrid with a straight axel.. i want one

 

look how low the door handles are..

not helping any stereotypes out there lol
