The Toyota Hilux is a very real truck already, so the bones of the Tonka Concept are something you could go out and buy right now. It was the best selling vehicle in Australia last year and to celebrate, Toyota designed a version that follows the distinctive design patterns of the Tonka toy line. Besides the black and yellow color scheme, the Tonka Hilux has upgraded suspension, axles, and off-road tires, as well as skid plates, hooks, and LED lighting on the front bumper. The right fender now has a snorkel on it and the fender flares keep mud from flying all over the car as it spins off the new tires. A vented tailgate keeps air moving, while extra fuel cans, an extinguisher, ax, shovel, and jack make sure the driver’s prepared for nearly any challenge the Outback can throw at it.
