designed a pickup truck for motorcycle owners by Yamaha
The layout is functional as it allows for a tapered rear wall that makes enough room to fit a motorcycle diagonally in the otherwise short bed, that has a small bar for a tailgate that also extends the bed floor when it is opened..
The Yamaha Cross Hub concept unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show features a diamond-shaped seating arrangement that puts the driver’s seat front and center in the cabin, a passenger seat directly behind it and one on each side, midway between them.
If I were to design one I would get rid of the extended cab concept entirely and reclaim a foot from the cab for the bed and get a 6 foot bed in the length that would today accommodate a 5 foot bed and extended cab. Create a custom bed for that chassis with a full size ramp integrated into the tailgate and add removable locking storage compartments on either side of the bed that are accessible from the ground by the driver side and passenger side doors.
Not at all what I was expecting. I thought it would have a long, low bed with integrated tiedowns and a tailgate that can double as a ramp.
But I guess that's what trailers are for.
