There's some trans-esque quality about those truck caps that cover the beds of pickup trucks sometimes. They really change the silhouette and transform it into a different vehicle to my brain. Do you have any thoughts on that?
I sure do! For one, see my post on the most genderfluid car. And for two, that's literally actually happened to one of the biggest names in off-roading!
At the start of the 80s, Toyota sent over a handful of their Hiluxes (1500, to be exact - mainstream automakers have very big hands) to Winnebago, and no, not to make them into trucks, they had Chinook for that, but to make them cut the rear wall, install rear seats and a rear canopy -able but not really meant to be removed- and send them out the door as a Toyota Trekker.

When all of them sold, Toyota decided to make some of their own when the next Hilux came around.
Thus, the Toyota 4Runner: literally just a Hilux...
Tumblr media
...with the rear wall removed for access to the rear seats and a rear roll bar to pretend they'd survive a rollover...
Tumblr media
...with a rear canopy protecting it all.
Tumblr media
Now, I personally don't really get this - this Hilux generation was sold with four doors, and why you wouldn't you rather tack a canopy onto that than have to shove your kids through the front doors? Maybe for the ability to fold the rear seats down and use that room for cargo?
Tumblr media
Whatever it was, the 4Runner was extremely successful, successful enough to motivate Toyota to make the new one an actual different body instead of tacking shit onto a pickup... and to popularize the word SUV. Yup.
Tumblr media
Oh, you could also still get this one as a three door, for some reason!
Tumblr media
The 4Runner has since evolved away from the Hilux to the point of sharing nary a panel, and has become one of the biggest names in off-roading in its own right.

What a difference 40 years makes juxtaposition of Toyota 4Runner, 1983 & Toyota 4Runner 40th Anniversary, 2023. To celebrate 4 decades of their pick-up/SUV Toyota have created a special edition for the 2023 model year. The name "4Runner" was created by a copywriter named Robert Nathan who was working for the advertising agency Saatchi & Saatchi. It was a play on the term "forerunner," as the pick-up based SUV was the first of its type for Toyota. It subsequently moved platforms to be based on the Land Cruiser Prado.

I intentionally try to not bombard you, my valued followers, with vehicle pictures. I wanted to share my rides with you today. First: 1978 Ford F-250 Custom. A 351 V8 is the power plant. All stock except the headlights and carburetor. Runs like a dream. I paid $1500 for it. Second: 1990 Jeep Wrangler YJ. A 2.5 liter inline 4 cylinder powers this beauty. All stock except for the rims, tires, top and doors, as well as a 4 inch body lift. This is the vehicle I drive in the desert. I paid $3500 for it. Third: my 2007 Toyota 4Runner, powered by a V6. This was my main carriage until April 2022 when I purchased the Jeep. The 4Runner has about 50,000 off-road miles just in the last two years! I paid 14,000 for it in 2017. She needs to be pampered now.
