These Toyota concepts are meant for traveling on snow
What's the story
Toyota has unveiled a range of five Snowhunter concepts at the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show. The unique models include the Tundra, Tacoma, 4Runner, Land Cruiser, and Sequoia. All vehicles feature white exteriors with a camouflage graphic pattern and black accents. They are also equipped with roof racks, recovery gear, and other essentials for snow exploration.
Inspiration
The Snowhunter concepts were developed by CALTY Design Research

The designs were inspired by the region's unique geographical and atmospheric phenomenon known as the lake effect, which guarantees plenty of snow regardless of weather forecasts.
Each vehicle features a lift from Toyota Genuine Parts and TRD, allowing them to easily navigate through snowdrifts.
