Unsatisfied with the current selection of electric pickup trucks out there? Toyota may have you covered.
The Japanese automaker just took the wraps off of a new battery-powered truck that's significantly smaller than hulking options from Ford, Rivian, and GMC. The EPU is just a concept for now, so there's no guarantee it'll go into production looking like this — if it ever gets the green light at all.
For purely selfish reasons, I hope the EPU actually goes on sale someday. The US is sorely lacking small pickups that are practical for city slickers like me. And it's especially short on small electric trucks, which would be cheaper and more efficient than expensive behemoths like the Ford F-150 Lightning and GMC Hummer EV.
Take a closer look at the EPU below:
