The truck originally came with a carbureted <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Toyota_R_engine#18R\">18R<\/a> inline-four and five-speed manual transmission. Trent swapped those for a turbocharged 2.5 L Toyota 1JZ inline-six and Supra R154 five-speed manual transmission. The 1JZ motor features a stock bottom-end, upgraded camshafts, upgraded valve springs, Artec exhaust manifold, and Pulsar G39-900 turbocharger. The combo is good for 600 hp (441 kW) on E85 fuel. Trent says the truck&#8217;s suspension uses custom control arms, Viking 2-way adjustable coilovers, and triangulated 4-link rear suspension. Under the black flares are Superlite wheels (15&#215;8, 15&#215;10).<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\"
