Collaboration with Legacy Motor Club and Jimmie Johnson

Toyota’s collaboration with Legacy Motor Club and legendary racer Jimmie Johnson added depth to the concept’s design. Johnson, widely recognized for his NASCAR career, has roots in off-road racing and a personal connection to Toyota trucks, having learned to drive in his uncle’s Toyota. This personal link with Toyota trucks is reflected in the ProRunner’s tribute to Johnson's off-road racing origins.
