Those Arctic Trucks are awesome. The Top Gear Polar Special is one of their best.

What's the background story here? I'm very surprised by this considering Toyotas rep.

Hope they don't use a stock Tacoma frame


Toyota did a huge inspection campaign a few years ago, where they either inspected and replaced frames or simply purchased trucks back from owners. Turned out that they subcontracted Eaton to build them frames (in America no less) that weren't rust protected per Toyota specs. Some rusted bad enough to essentially split the truck in half. I think a few Pelicans were able to take advantage of the inspection and replacement, it was a pretty sweet deal for owners.
