Since we started Toyota Cruisers & Trucks back in 2014, we've been focusing on body-on-frame, true 'Trucks' produced by Toyota, in both original and Lexus trim. Our coverage of the most dependable and capable adventure vehicles will continue, but now we may need to add a new model to our regular updates.
