Toyota A-BAT

http://www.toyota.com/concept-vehicles/abat.html

Quote:
The A-BAT offers customers the versatility of hauling a standard 4x8 sheet of plywood one day, then taking a family on a camping trip the next. It features a four-foot bed with more flexibility than the standard pickup truck. The translucent roof panel slides open to allow for tall cargo in the cab; and the bed lengthens an additional two feet when the pass-through midgate is folded down into the cab.

The rugged exterior of the A-BAT is contrasted by the four-passenger modern interior. The door trim, shoulder, armrest and instrument panel pads and seat cushions are made of a tough, lightweight and comfortable material that can be selected for personalization. In addition, the colors are coordinated to enhance the sleek interior environment.

Inside, the A-BAT has a retractable, portable navigation unit with a seven-inch diagonal screen and Wi-Fi Internet. Other advanced features include a port for portable device assistant synchronization and a hard drive for digital music. The solar panels on the dash recapture energy from the sun to assist in the charging of the navigation unit, portable power pack and backlit information displays.
But does it transform?

Re: Toyota A-BAT

That was one of the hottest new concepts this year in Detroit and no it's not available. Toyotas version of the Avalanche. Nice looking rig though. Better than the Ridgeline, I think they give you a free skirt when you buy one of those!

Looks like the smaller version of the Honda truck.

Re: Toyota A-BAT

Is this the exact same vehicle from the front wheels back?
