2010 SEMA Show: Toyota Tundra Sportsman

Making its public debut at the 2010 SEMA Show is the “Tundra Sportsman” concept pickup truck. For this project, Toyota teamed with long-time business partner Bass Pro Shops and their RedHead Pro Hunting Team members to create this unique show truck, inspired by the outdoor tradition of hunting. The “Tundra Sportsman” serves two roles: It provides an opportunity to push the creative boundaries of truck utility, and through use of the hunting theme, it reminds consumers of how Tundra and Bass Pro Shops complete the outdoor sports experience. This vehicle also boasts numerous vehicle performance upgrades that complement the utility and visual enhancements to maximize vehicle capability.

Toyota used a 2011 Tundra Double Cab 4x4 equipped with the TRD Rock Warrior Package and 5.7-liter V8 with a six-speed automatic transmission as the canvas for the concept truck. Performance modifications began with a three-inch suspension lift to increase ground clearance over uneven terrain. A custom exhaust was created with pipes routed up through the center of the bed and exiting the roof top deck for improved water crossing capability. Additional off-road enhancements included the installation of a custom air intake and snorkel. Finally, to help handle the roughest off-road conditions the Tundra Sportsman rides on ATX 18-inch Teflon-coated wheels fitted onto 33 x 12.5-inch Nitto Mud Grapplers.

The snorkel looks like it would get in the way of seeing to the right for the driver.... and it might be difficult to open the hood.

Uggers. I saw stuff like this all around Corpus. It is pretty shocking the levels people will go to in order to make their hunting experience a little easier.
 
Worst snorkel ever. I heard walmart was going to start carrying an all inclusive package, you just drop your truck off and they throw on all the tacky things they have in the auto section. Is this the demo?

Also, have we really gotten to the point where we are too lazy to walk more than 25 yards to do any activity?

Yes. and that is what I count on when I go elk hunting. My mile and a half hike scored me a great elk this year. Most people don't want to leave the truck, much less the trail. This concept is aimed right at those folks.
