How about any of these?
1987 Toyota 4Runner. SUV, and better represented by SUV body, but closer to a truck than usual.
1981 Toyota Trekker. Similar to 4Runner, but aftermarket.
1990? Isuzu NPR. A bit bigger, cab-over.
The brief calls not for a high-performance truck, but a showy off-road trim.
First one is great. Second one isn’t bad as long as the flatbed is either roofless or has a removable FRP roof. The last one is too much of a comercial vehicle rather than a prĂvate consumer one, but cab-overs are allowed as long as they fit the rules.
I may need to add more examples, since performance pickups are also allowed entries.
Yay I can make gmc syclone but epic
funky ideas are forming
Inb4 french AMC lookin truck.
Could we get more information about badging? (and naming scheme if this applies)
Yeah cuz I was looking and some trucks just have the name of the brand while others have a logo so irdk
EDIT: Added on the initial post more cars for inspirations, as well as more info regarding brand design and logo!
Is there a budget to the challenge?
CSC (Crowd Sourcing Competition) is a design based challenge, there is no engineering judged, so there is no budget.
1988 Fitz C200 Sandrunner Design Proposal
It’s a truck.. what else is there to say about it, apart from that the last photo was clearly taken in a different session, with a different position to the others.
“Owwwww I want my truck to be small and fuel efficient so it can support the “active lifestyle” I love so much.”
Says a TOTAL NERD!
Why would ANYONE want a SMALL TRUCK? That’s like wanting a small skyscraper or a small linebacker. In other words, they’re WORTHLESS!
“I want a fuel efficient truck.”
“I want a small truck.”
“I want a cute truck.”
Statements dreamed up by the UTTERLY DERANGED!
Trucks are WORKHORSES designed to do MAN’S WORK, so why not have the ULTIMATE WORKHORSE buy purchasing the ULTIMATE TRUCK?
Introducing the FITZ C1500 Bullhorn! Featuring a full size bed for ALL your TRUCK NEEDS, 4 wheel drive to CONQUER any terrain, and an absolute UNIT of an engine.
The C1500 features an engine by ACZ called the CHUNGUS because it’s SO BIG! Its 8.4L of RAW FURY churns out over 1500 Nm of red-blooded blue-collared TORQUE! How much torque is that? Enough to rip out that pesky stump! Enough to tow SIX campers! Enough to win ALL the tug of wars! Enough to de-orbit the BLOODY MOON!
This torque goes through all 4 wheels through some good old fashioned MANUAL locking diffs and a MANUAL transmission. None of that fancy electronic stuff here, no sir. All that bullcrap will just break, anyway. We crank our windows down like REAL MEN! We change our own gears like REAL MEN! We lock our own axles like REAL MEN!
If you’re looking for a dirt simple WORK TRUCK capable of handling ANYTHING you can throw at it, your quest has come to an end. Be TOUGH and RUGGED! Buy the C1500 Bullhorn!
