What's the point of a PreRunner?

Just an FYI, a Prerunner, (not to be confused with the 2wd Tacoma which was named after this class of vehicle) is a truck based on a production truck, which has had some work done mainly to the suspension, so it can 'prerun' a race course, albeit at much lower speeds than the actual race vehicles are capable of.

The Trophy Truck in the first video, is a built from the ground up, 4130 Chromoly tube frame chassis race vehicle. They hang composite body work on them, so they resemble production trucks for marketing purposes.

I've worked with a few people over the years in the Dragracing community, that have also worked on Trophy Trucks. They are cool pieces of engineering.

Of course, I'm just making reference to some Toyota badging which everyone on this site would be knowledgable of.

If I could just have a great, street legal rock crawler, a trophy truck (or two), an adventure bike, and a rally car sitting in my garage, most of my transportation desires would be achieved. I could drive happy...
