Electric Toyota Tacoma

• Toyota revealed a concept for an electric pickup truck with a four-door crew cab setup and a what appears to be a fairly short bed.
• Toyota didn't provide many details on the truck, but it appears to be in between the mid-size Tacoma and full-size Tundra in terms of dimensions.
• With several electric trucks due to hit the market soon, we expect the Toyota EV truck to be revealed within the next year or so.

Toyota has stated previously that it plans to eventually build an electric pickup truck, and now we have further proof that this model could soon become reality. This concept car, revealed during Toyota's presentation about its future EV plans, looks remarkably close to production and is exactly what you would imagine a Toyota EV truck to look like.

While we have very little information at this point—Toyota has not stated a name or any specifications for this truck—its appearance alone gives us a fair amount of information. It's a four-door crew-cab configuration with what looks like a short bed, and it has chunky off-road tires that suggest it could be some sort of TRD Pro model. The styling is similar to what we've seen on the new Tundra, except for the blocked-off grille that is typical of EV front ends.

It's also difficult to tell the size of this truck from these images, but it may fit in between the mid-size Tacoma and full-size Tundra in the lineup. That said, we wouldn't be surprised if this truck is actually a preview of the next Tacoma, albeit in EV form. We'll have to wait and see when Toyota decides to release more info on this future model, which could be within the next year or so.

I'm MUCH more curious about what that blue vehicle behind it is all about.

Looks to be this:

Isn't the baby Land Cruiser just an electric FJ?

A little too late to the party, I'm afraid.

Never too late for a legacy automaker to use it’s already amazing reputation and start build EVs

Nah, market is just opening up. Tesla has had it to itself for too long. I’m interested to see what Toyota comes up with with their solid state batteries, supposedly having some models by 2025 that have it.

Sorry. I meant for me personally. I would have loved an E-Taco option, but I can't wait that long.

It looks to be! They announced over 15 models today

I would be VERY interested in an electric Tacoma except for the fact that I've come to expect Toyota to generally play it safe/restrained. An electric Tacoma is very unlikely to be as powerful as the R1T and likely won't have all of the on-road capabilities of the R1T.

I also suspect the infotainment won't be as nice and the interior will be more utilitarian versus the more luxury focused interior of the R1T.

Still...I'm interested to see what they actually do with it. It could be some solid competition for the R1T, though likely at a lower price-point.

I meant for me personally. I need something before 2024/2025. Sorry I wasn't clear.

I'd like more info on the tiny lime-green/black moonbuggy! ?

Don't hold your breath on anything more than a concept car built just for auto shows having SSB in 2025.
