wow! I wish Toyota would come out with the next gen.

Love it, but can it highway cruise? 4.88 gears and 31" tires make for some high RPMs @ 80mph... lol

Everything about this rig makes me want it. I’m actually thinking of how I can convince my wife that it’s a “good deal” or a “sound investment” ... ??‍♂️??‍♂️??‍♂️??‍♂️???

Damn, $50k.

that vehicle is way cool, but $50k....it only takes two people to think its worth it though.

I miss the days when you could reliably find a good price on a niche vehicle on BAT. Stuff that only an enthusiast would love and that sometimes actually required one to, you know, bring a trailer to get it home. Now it's all cherry examples going for top dollar.

There's the Expo tax, and there there's the BAT tax...

Now we're talkin'. Nice, thanks for the pointer.

Don't get me wrong, I think the world should definitely have $50k Turbo 6-speed AWD BMW Station Wagons with pristine leather and 35k miles on the clock, but it should also have $20k examples that have been used like pickup trucks and turning over 150k miles.
