Toyota unveils ultimate tailgate truck with five big-screen TVs

In the United States, Toyota recently showcased an innovative prototype vehicle called the Ultimate Tailgate Tundra at the SEMA 2024 show in Las Vegas. This one-of-a-kind Tundra pickup truck is designed specifically for the tailgating experience, featuring cutting-edge technology and entertainment options that appeal to both sports fans and outdoor enthusiasts alike. The Ultimate Tailgate Tundra is equipped with five 55-inch weatherproof outdoor televisions that can be deployed from the truck bed, providing a viewing experience from nearly any angle. The screens are housed within a custom-built staging shell that rises out of the truck bed at the push of a button, thanks to the operation of four electric actuators. This technology makes it uniquely suited for events such as football games, where multiple viewers can gather around for an exciting watch party. To enhance the tailgating atmosphere, the vehicle includes a specially designed canopy that offers ample shaded space, minimizing sun glare and creating an inviting setting for outdoor gatherings. Additionally, the Tundra features a powerful JBL Club Marine Series audio system, consisting of four speakers and two subwoofers, to provide top-notch sound quality during these events. An onboard satellite Wi-Fi system allows users to connect and stream broadcast channels, further enriching the experience for tailgaters. Toyota has expressed that this vehicle is a celebration of their partnership with the NFL and is part of a broader strategy to showcase the versatility and lifestyle applications of their trucks. However, despite the technological advancements found in the Ultimate Tailgate Tundra, this concept vehicle will not be available for purchase; it's strictly a prototype meant for display. Instead, Toyota opted for a generator to power the entertainment systems, noting that the truck does not support electric vehicle capabilities that could offer self-sustaining power.
