Toyota, Camburg Engineering and DC Shoes teamed
together to bring the ultimate snowboarder’s dream truck to the 2013 SEMA auto
show happening November 5th through 8th.
Starting with ideas for motocross, skateboarding and
snowboarding builds, Toyota and DC Shoes asked the footwear company’s fans for
their choice on which to build. The fans voted and Toyota delivered.
DC Shoes and Toyota chose Camburg Engineering for
creating the dream truck. Beginning with a 2014 Toyota Tacoma , Camburg brought
to life ideas from professional snowboarders like the massive front
snowdeflector; a telescoping ramp for loading a full-size snowmobile on the
truck bed; a full suite of audio awesomeness, including an in-dash iPad Mini
and a pop-up tent mounted to the truck’s roof rack. Sitting inside the truck’s
bed is a huge sliding toolbox with enough space to store gear for a weekend
expedition.
Besides the iPad Mini, the Tacoma’s interior is
treated to an integrated charging station powered by on-board batteries
separate from the Tacoma’s engine battery for powering cell phones, laptops and
cameras. A wireless, all-weather Scoshe boomBOTTLE pumps the music outside the
truck even in the thickest of blizzards.
Vision Vision through those blizzards is no problem
with the roof-mounted, 40-inch LED light bar and the two light pods sitting
atop the Meyer snow deflector. Oversized General Grabber tires keep the truck
moving forward – all powered by Toyota’s trusty 4.0-liter V-6.
