Toyota unveils Back to the Future-inspired 2016 Tacoma

Toyota has unveiled its 2016 Tacoma, inspired by the pickup truck used by Marty McFly in Back to the Future Part II.

Although Doc Brown's DeLorean was the undisputed car star of the Back to the Future franchise, Marty's 1985 Toyota pickup truck also enjoyed a certain amount of notoriety. In celebrating Back to the Future Day - October 21^st, 2015, the same day visited by the second installment of the film series - Toyota has recreated Marty's ride.

Using a 2016 Tacoma as a base, Toyota added a custom 1985 Toyota truck exterior paint, complete with 'D-4S' Fuel Injection badging, the iconic 'TOYOTA' logo scrolled across the tailgate and vintage 1985 Toyota truck mud flaps. Staying true to the movie truck, the Tacoma also features front and rear tubular bumpers, custom light bar, KC auxiliary lights and 1985-inspired head and taillights. An off-road suspension, TRD wheels and BFGoodrich tyres complete the look.

Unfortunately for fans of the Back to the Future series, it doesn't appear as though Toyota has any plans to bring the Back to the Future-inspired Tacoma to production. The truck will, however, be on display in major tourist destinations in Los Angeles, New York and Dallas.
