Automaker Toyota is designing an affordable truck variant, modeled after the RAV4.
Toyota to Introduce New Compact Pickup Truck: The Toyota Stout
Toyota has confirmed the development of an affordable compact pickup truck, set to be named the Toyota Stout. The new vehicle will position itself as a competitor to other unibody pickup trucks such as the Ford Maverick and Hyundai Santa Cruz.
According to Cooper, Toyota's director of planning and strategy in North America, the Toyota Stout will be built on the TNGA-K platform from the Toyota RAV4. This platform choice suggests a focus on efficiency and agility for the new pickup truck.
The Toyota Stout is expected to be equipped with a hybrid powertrain, similar to the 2.5-liter hybrid powertrain producing 236 horsepower as found in the Toyota RAV4. The vehicle may also offer a plug-in hybrid option, with a potential output of 320 horsepower.
Details regarding the release and specifications of the Toyota Stout are yet to be disclosed. However, it is expected that the new pickup truck will not be a body-on-frame model, but rather a unibody design. This design choice is consistent with the trend towards car-like handling and fuel efficiency in modern pickup trucks.
The design of the Toyota Stout will resemble the larger Toyota Tacoma and Tundra, featuring a high hood and wide wheel arches for a rugged look. The interior of the vehicle is expected to share components with the related Toyota RAV4, providing a comfortable and modern driving experience.
The exact date for the presentation of the Toyota Stout is not currently known, as the Toyota Stout nameplate was previously used by the brand from 1954 to 2022 and is thus a historical model rather than a forthcoming release. However, emerging first details and photos suggest that the new Toyota Stout pickup truck is expected to be announced soon.
The expected price of the Toyota Stout is around $30,000, making it an affordable option for those in the market for a compact pickup truck. With its anticipated hybrid powertrain and unibody design, the Toyota Stout is poised to offer a unique combination of efficiency, performance, and affordability.
Stay tuned for more updates on the Toyota Stout as they become available.
