Sorry Guys I am new.... just picked up the cruiser today!


What does "minitruck" refer to exactly?

Non-fullsize pickup trucks. Usually when used 'round here it means Toyota Pickups. *usually" pre-Tacoma.

In the over seas markets the early Toyota pickups were called "Hilux". Here from 79-95 they did not have a name, so we call them Mini Trucks.

Also as mark said, other brand small trucks, but who wants to think about those.....

Thanks for the replies guys. Although I am not sure I agree with it, I can see now why someone might use the term.

I prefer hilux, but use the term mini sometimes....but it really never mattered, if you had a toyota truck up until recently, you only had one size to choose from...

i like the name Hilux Surf.
it reffers to the 4Runner

I usually just call them "cute little trucks". Really pisses a couple of my buddies off when I call their truck that.

Oh, relax everyone, I've got 8 of them myself... 4 of them even on the road and trail...
