Toyota Drops New 'Back To The Future' Tacoma, We All Say 'Check Out That 4×4'
Toyota unleashed Wednesday its version of Marty McFly’s dream truck based on a 2016 Toyota Tacoma for one day only. The truck added a special paint scheme and … wait, one day only?
The trucks went on display Oct. 21 in Los Angeles, New York and Dallas before presumably bursting into flames.
At least Toyota detailed how it built the 1985-esque truck for the one day we’ll ever get to see the truck.
Here’s what it took to make the “4×4” possible:
- Custom 1985 Toyota Truck Exterior Paint
- Off-road Suspension
- Toyota Racing Development (TRD) Wheels
- BFGoodrich Tires
- Custom front and rear Tubular Bumpers
- Custom Light Bar
- KC HiLites Gravity LED G46
- KC HiLites Daylighter Gravity LED
- Custom “D-4S” Fuel Injection Badging
- Custom Tailgate with Iconic “TOYOTA” Logo
- Custom Vintage Headlight and Taillight Design
- Mud Flaps 1985 Toyota Truck
All of which sound legit, except for the D-4S Fuel Injection badging because the Toyota 22R engine in the 1985 truck wasn’t really all that advanced — it only had fuel injection for the first time in 1985.
(As a matter of fact, I think they revved to like 4,000 rpm before giving up, really.)

They really should just make those taillights and tailgate standard.
It's funny, the wife and I re-watched BTTF1 shortly before BTTF day. When Marty opened the garage, we both commented at the same time. Me: Y'know, that's a nice looking truck. Her: Y'know, that's a terrible looking truck. I could do without the lift, but the rest? Yes, please.
