Holden Maloo... for getting to the track in a hurry

Whole hartedly agree!
And under 20k
HAHA. I agree. The funny thing is that the Slate truck has a bed that is longer than my Maverick bed!! But I can get two bikes in my Maverick so I am sure the Slate is great.
Been having fun using my mini truck as a moto rig

Dayum! Haha nice. Bike costs more than the truck.
As it should be
I use this small pickup as my daily and bike hauler.
1.6 liters NA, MT5, 2 seats, air cond... enough for me and my bike. In this picture, with my friend's Husky 450.
(BTW, I live in Argentina and this pickup is manufactured in Brazil)
Yeah that def ain't in the states
We still have my 2000 Ranger in the family and it def has a purpose still but my car was getting long in the tooth and there were times i wanted to bring the fam but couldn’t. If my 2000 Ranger was a quad cab I’d probably try and make it and my car work but it’s not and I need to be able to involve the family more.
Are you looking to adopt a son??
That's what SUVs are for.
I'd be reeeally interested in the Slate if it had more mileage. Wonder how fast it could charge with a generator? I could make it to most tracks with 150 miles, but definitely not back!
A hybrid version would be rad, but then it wouldn't be a small truck with the crappy regulations on size.
They advertise these things as being modular and that you can choose to have the open bed or toss a row of seats and a cover on the back. Curious if you’re stuck with one or the other once you order it or if you can easily remove/install the seats and cover it you need a truck one day and a family hauler the next
Here's mine. 1981 Hilux, 18R petrol and a 4 speed. 115,000km from new.

Life will never be the same
Hahaha. Can you do a bottom end on a 450? 🤣
Sounds like the Maverick hybrid is for you…..
I want one but life is a little tricky right now. My job is going great, wife's not so much. If I end up being the only income, I won't be riding, so no need for a truck payment. Also, used Mavericks are ridiculous, essentially the exact same price as a brand new one. I'll either be buying a late 90s early 2000s ranger, or keeping the crossover and trailer.
Pit Row
Is that the 18rc with the single cam, or the 18rg with DOHC? Got pic's we don`t get those over here.
My moto truck for years was an S-10.
18R with single cam. Was a farmers, he used it to go to town on the weekends from new. Unfortunately he can't drive any more so I managed to get it. Toyota bought four 4wd hilux's to NZ in 1981 to see if they would sell, this is one of the four. Still has the original windscreen.
It's late 1992. New '93 CR250 in the back of my salvage title Ram 50, base truck, no AC... I pull up to Muddy Creek. JustMX sticks his head in the passenger window. He says, 'Looks kinda funny. Your bike is worth more than your truck!' I patted my golf clubs sitting beside me and said, "Joe, these golf clubs are worth more than my truck! A man has to prioritize!' We had a big laugh over it!
Your cool little gray truck reminds me of these Subaru’s from the glorious 1980’s! Was called the BRAT (at least in the U.S. market?)
I had a moto buddy that had one (like this one!) with the T-Top option and I always thought it was cool little hauler!
)You could also get “jump-seats in the bed, back when the government let YOU decide if it was safe or not to ride in the back of a moving vehicle!)
Those were fun days cramming our bikes & TWO of everything into the tiny BRAT bed and rolling out to the MX track with the T-Tops left behind! 👍❗️
Anyone ELSE remember these? 🤪 👍❗️
A girl in my neighborhood got a new Brat. It had the jump seats.
No way we will ever see an option like that again!
Besides that you were in the BED of the vehicle, there were NO belts and the only thing securing your butt in the seat was your ability to hold onto the grab handles! 😝 👍❗️Good times!
Yeah she was older than me so I didn’t get to ride. It did look really cool. It’d be nice to see a modern version.
Update on my 24 maverick hybrid but blew then engine this weekend going to the track. At around 13k miles. Have had 2 oil changes both at ford. Went from running good to completely dead in under 1/4 mile. Smoking like a mother f’er and knocking that I've never experience before. Really thought I was going to have to throw both bikes out the bed. Was 2 hours from home also. Some bs
Oh man, that sucks. I would hope the cover it all. My hybrid has 18k miles.....yikes.
Is this a common issue?
