Toyota is working on a mini monster truck.
It's not a truck camper because it doesn't slide into the bed. But it looks like one. Toyota seems to be reviving their old Chinook concept with off-road capabilities. We'll see if it becomes reality ...

I had a 1988 Damon Escaper built on a 1987 Toyota one ton with a 22Re (4 cylinder) engine. We sold it with 68,000 miles on and it ran great. The biggest complaint was that to get up steep climbs, we had to be turning 4500 to 5000 rpm's to make power. Going up the west side of 14a (going east) we had to stop at a restroom about 3/4 of the way up. I forgot to stop with the RV pointed downhill in the parking lot. The engine did not have enough power to pull
Problem with a basic Toyota frame and suspension. As well the small petrol engine would not pull very well. Toyota 1 Ton is another name for a very early Hilux
These were replaced by the downrated Tacoma
