Hey guys, ive been searching and searching... but i just cant seem to find anyone who makes MODERN pick up trucks.. i thought about building one and attaching a trailer to put the drag toyota supra that im working on right now... but all i could find is diecast models. i would LOVE a toyota Tundra, but i really doubt there is one out there in the right scale...


any help is greatly appreciated

You can't find any because there is none. I believe the most recent vehicle with a truck bed is 1/25 2005 Cadillac Escalade EXT. If you want a Toyota, you'll have to make do with Aoshima's old Surf pick-up (, which isn't quite a realistic substitute as a hauler, so I feel your pain).

Trucks are very American subject, but even the US kit manufacturers don't make the newer F Series, Silverado or Ram, so I'm guessing pick-ups are not expected to reach the break even point within a reasonable time period.

Another issue is that a newer generation of the same vehicle will immediately make its predecessor obsolete, so the kit manufacturers have a dilemma of releasing new subjects or stick with older ones.

While not entirely modern....
I have a 91' Chevy Step-Side that came with a trailer and a 57 Corvette.
Not sure if that is what you mean, but there are some out there.

Good luck.
