X-Runner sema concept

The V6 it should've gotten!

 

So right! This motor should be an option in my opinion. But this Xrunner is super sweet! Hopefully it actually runs and we get to see it move around some. Only issue I have it that they have not opened the claim shell door up on the cab yet. But I would consider this as a garage mate to my 20 OR AC 6MT.

 

oh please make this... pretty please... with sugar on top.... i could give a rats ass about off roading... i want a truck.. with some power. hell yeah.

"The X-Runner Concept benefits from a modified i-FORCE 3.4-liter twin-turbocharged V6 producing 421 horsepower with 479 lb-ft of peak torque. A Tundra solid axle with 4.30:1 final drive and an electronic locking differential splits the torque to the rear wheels, while a custom side exhaust exits just below the rocker panel."


Yummy

 

some real pix out there..... feel like the front end could use some massaging as could the rear bumper.... but man.. those numbers and side exhaust. so want

 

The underside definitely looks "SEMA quality" lol:



X-Runner without the X-brace that gave the truck its name.

I also vaguely see a transfer case?

 

13.05 minute mark. There is a still photo front 3/4 view. I do have to way they picked a great color. Not digging those wheels, nor the extra down force splitters. But everything else will work.

these video bloggers are annoying.

 

nobody likes a tease, that's for sure. But I'll admit I learned a few things about the ECU flashes that I wouldn't have without watching some of their videos.

 

I always watch with the sound turned off.

 

just doing a quick google and i had to be reminded by the 2010 version they did.... so would love to have one, but i put the odds at 0.0000021%. unless maybe they do it as one last hurrah before gas is officially killed off

sigh

 

i believe in youtube mechanics school. i've fixed more than a few things with my degree...

 

For SEMA, Toyota had built/commissioned the following 2nd gen concepts in the past:

Access cab short bed with 4.7L V8
LT baja truck with ind. rear suspension
Double cab with gullwing doors
Access cab 5-lugger with 5.7L V8 and TRD supercharger

I give the 4th gen X-Runner concept the same production odds.

Has Toyota productionized any of its SEMA concept vehicles in the history of SEMA?

 

Lots of plastic to fade and crack in the summer heat. No thanks.

 

can you steal it for me?

 

feel like this was a rebuild of one of the test mules. so sad that it will end up in a dumpster

 

Morimoto has 4th gen headlights already?

 

I noticed that too lol. Wonder if there’s a new contract between them?
