[Auto] Toyota has everything to make an anti-Bull pickup

[Inkriql]

Chevrolet, Ford, FIAT, Hyundai, Renault, Volkswagen... More and more automakers are focusing on the production of compact pick-ups, a segment that has increased in po[CENSORED]rity considerably in recent years.

The last great example is that of the Ford Maverick. Recently launched in our country, the brand new Oval truck has already recorded extremely positive sales levels in one of the world's main markets, the United States.

The novelty that we have to tell you today has as its protagonist one of the main Japanese brands: Toyota. US media cataloged it as a firm that could quietly develop a compact truck, which would be able to rival the Maverick and the FIAT Toro. How would that be? Let's see.
Toyota anti-Bull: What is known?

Toyota Hilux 2021 launch in Argentina

In Argentina, Toyota has an extremely po[CENSORED]r workhorse: the Hilux. Produced in Zárate, the medium truck is not only the best-selling "flat" in the country, but it is also among the vehicles preferred by the Argentine public.

Worldwide, the Hilux is also highly recognized, to the point that last November it was distinguished as the best truck in the world. With this background, in the United States they affirmed that Toyota has everything necessary to produce a compact pick-up.

The main option of the Japanese house would star the RAV4. The SUV, which in our country stars in the electrified market, could provide its platform (the TNGA) to the new model, as happened with the Ford Bronco Sport and the Maverick.

One of the advantages that the application of the base of the RAV4 would have is its "ecological" character, which would allow Toyota to have a hybrid or even electric truck, according to the developments that it can carry out. It's worth remembering that the Maverick, at least in the United States, is sold with a hybrid drive system.

Another aspect that Toyota should see with good eyes to develop this project lies in the existing automotive situation in Japan, a country in which compact models are extremely po[CENSORED]r, thanks to the narrow streets, small parking lots and the high price of fuel there. .

For now, the Asian brand has not provided any information about the manufacture of a compact truck. We will see if in the future it reveals any such plan.

The base of the Toyota RAV4 could officiate as a platform for the new "flat" compact.

Thanks to its economic flow, developments and materials, Toyota would be in a position to get involved in the compact segment, which already has participants of the stature of:

    FIAT Bull
    ford maverick
    Chevrolet Montana (to be released soon)
    hyundai santa cruz
    Renault Oroch
    Volkswagen Tarok (to be launched soon?)
    Kia
    nissan
    chery?
