Pretty neet!!

But an 8L engine? If that thing gets better than 15 MPG I would be pretty surprised!

I like it except for the shortbox. Hopefully a long box would be offered if they did such a thing. 8L straight six? Sounds torquey!

That's been posted before . It's a Toyota body on a Hino chassis . You'll never see a production Toyota with that engine .

Roger Penske invested in Hino . Penske has plenty of Hino rental trucks with this drivetrain . Go rent one and see what they'll do .
