Toyota Off-Road Truck

The Toyota T100 Baja Truck is a specialized racing version of the Toyota T100 pickup truck. Intended for racing in the Baja 1000, the truck is powered by a modified version of the 3.4L 5VZ-FE V6 used in the road-going T100 and is built on an aluminum tubeframe chassis. A carbon fiber body is mounted on this chassis. A T100 was most notably driven by renowned offroad racer Ivan Stewart.

This casting was originally introduced in the 100% Hot Wheels lineup in 2000; it features a removable body attached on by hooks. Removing the body exposes the bare chassis and interior. When the casting was introduced into the main Hot Wheels lineup this feature was removed and the casting given a slight retool, being given a new rear-mounted spare tire. The casting was retooled again in 2015, with the rear spare tire being made part of the base as opposed to being a separate piece. This is one of two 100% Hot Wheels models to remain in production after the series ended, the other being the Porsche 917KH.

The casting was originally named Toyota Baja Truck before being renamed Toyota Off-Road Truck in 2010, with that name being used from then on.
