Yo, I just stumble upon this video that has a 2nd Generation Avalon that has been converted into a truck. Does anyone know who owns this 2nd Generation AvalonTruck? It's cool looking.

The first thought that comes to mind is "just because you can, doesn't mean you should". Hahahaha (from the viewpoint of a "truck" in my mind is a working vehicle and an Avalon has neither the payload capacity or towing capacity to replace a truck for what I need one for)


But damn! Talk about some skills. That looks very well done. I wish I had such talents. Kind of reminds me of the old VW Rabbit pickups of the early 80's.

ToyotaFest should have the info. Strangely, and yes, I'm strange, I had exactly the same thought yesterday (but hardly the design details shown here). I need some way to get biggish trash containers to the city's recycle center... spoken as a former station wagon owner of a different marque...

Brad_G: ... "Just because you can, doesn't mean you should"... that's perfect.

I was checking out the rear ride height and the 17" wheels. Then I thought about the McPherson strut rear end. Whimsical, not practical.

It serves to prove that those folks in SoCal have too many warm weather days, LOL.

OleAvalon: So I went to put my bike in the car yesterday, and while I like driving sedans, they just aren't all that practical. A 2001 Tacoma sells for over $6,000 here and a 2001 Avie is $999.
