Based on the Hilux 4x4 Pick up, he Trekker was outfitted with a fiberglass rear body and extra seating to appeal to the SUV market, nd was quite a success with over 1,200 units sold in a 2 year period over three model years.

An eBayer asked:
"Can this truck be registered for the street? Does it have a clean title?" |
I replied:
Thank you for your interest in the Pre-runner.
Absolutely. It has a clear title. It was registered in CA prior to our purchasing it a couple of years ago. It is a street driven truck in CA and WI. It is up to the regulations in each state as to passing any state required inspections. They differ from state to state. It has lights, urn signals, mergency flashers', rake lights, ipers, irrors, eat belts, t looks like all of the emission equipment is in place excluding the catalytic converter(no longer required in WI). I am just trying to be up-front regarding the tire condition of the vehicle.
