Those of you who frequent the Marion Toyota blog may remember our previous post about the upcoming 2012 Toyota Tacoma TRD T/X Baja Edition, which is set to arrive next year. The new, off-road variant of the 2012 Toyota Tacoma is already proving to be quite popular, so to satisfy fans' demand for more of the performance-tuned truck, they've teamed up with twenty aftermarket parts specialists to take things one step further.
That next step is known as the Long Beach Racers Tacoma, and it's a one-of-a-kind masterpiece that's now set to be featured in the 2011 Tecate SCORE Baja 1000 race, driven by none other than former motocross rider, Andy Bell. From there the racing truck will appear at several other conventions and racing events, including the 2011 Tecate SCORE Baja 1000
