Toyota Tantu has always been a leader in the pickup truck market, and although its sales volume is not proportional to its fame, the pickup trucks under Toyota's name seem to have no shortage of fans in any era. So, it's not surprising that some faith fans have grown, to be honest, but when I saw Toyota's latest release of the official map of The Capstone, there was a moment when I also felt that this car was indeed worth owning.
This model, which is called the top luxury version of the Tantu car series, does not have much gap with the standard model in terms of styling design, but the use of this cement gray color matching does make this pickup truck look a lot more high-end, and the 22-inch wheel shape seems to be unique to the top luxury version model, in addition to the more exquisite forward grille also looks a lot more delicate. No longer like a reckless rough guy, more like a fitness instructor.
The interior design is also outstanding, and people begin to wonder whether this thing was made by Toyota. The large central control screen and digital display of the air conditioning panel make this car add a lot of technology atmosphere, and the electronic gear shift lever is more modern. Apart from my personal dissatisfaction with the steering wheel, I could hardly fault the interior of the car. Of course, white is not resistant to dirt, it is a bit far-fetched to say this, and the Capstone is still qualified to be called a top luxury pickup truck.
The car is equipped with a 12.3-inch all-digital instrument cluster, a 14-inch central control screen and a 12-speaker JBL luxury sound system, and soundproof glass also brings excellent comfort to the cockpit.
In terms of power, The Tanto Capstone is a hybrid model with a drivetrain consisting of a 3.5T V6+ electric motor with a maximum power of 443 road and a peak torque of 790N·m, with a 10-speed transmission matching the transmission. As I mentioned before, I don't think it's a pity that Toyota cut the V8, on the contrary, the hybrid composition of the 3.5T V6+ electric motor is what I think is the best powertrain in this era, and I believe that most people do not have to worry about this set of power, if you have to pursue that rugged way of travel, then buying a second-hand V8 can also be an option, why bother?
At this time, let's talk about its old rival, the Ford F150, before we got the news that the pure electric version of the F150 will be delivered in the second half of this year, before Ford said it had received 200,000 orders. From this point of view, there is actually an inexplicable sadness, and ford F150 fought a lifetime, the result of the F150 transformation, Tantu also ushered in the day of the beginning (sales), there seems to be a feeling of being ignored by the old rival.
But for consumers, this is at least a good thing, if Ford fully into electrification, for friends who still love fuel pickup trucks, there are at least a smooth way to choose from, so it seems to put the road in a weak position. Believe me, I have no intention of doing so.
Finally, considering the domestic pickup truck-related policies, I personally don't think it is a wise move to choose them, even this car has made me want to buy. Therefore, still that sentence, talk about it, take a look, happy to get it, no matter how good-looking the new way is, no matter how domineering, it can only be a big toy for men in the niche market.
