Toyota Teases FT-AC Offroad Concept for LA

I was trying to be more funny than critical, but ya, I didn't have to lean on them that hard, but it's almost deserved.

I just can't help but :wacko::noidea::pound::frusty: face-palm with verbage and idea around "off-road-focused offering".

Toyota knows what Off-Road means, and someone needs to keep a leash on the marketing departments these days...

Lets not call it something that it isn't... It's an aggressive crossover. But the proof is in the pudding... if this thing actually has a proper drive-line and differentials and transfer case then it actually has potential. Lets see what they mean by "torque vectoring" These days they seem to be skimping on the awesome... even things like a TRD Pro they have moved away from the Torsen TC which was standard on the 4th Gen. Now you have to buy a limited or a Lexus to get it.

You don't see Subaru marketing the Outback as a Rally-focused monster. That said, everyone likes showing a little flex these days.

oooo dang


If it came out of the box looking something like this... then call it whatever you want.

Oh it's totally deserved. I know I have offended others in the past with my opinions but the facts are the facts...the TRD PRO offerings from Toyota are basically just an appearance package and nothing more.
