Pikes Peak Tacoma

The Toyota Tacoma Pikes Peak is a purpose-built silhouette hill-climbing race truck built by Rod Millen Motorsport to participate in the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, specifically in the Unlimited class. The Tacoma Pikes Peak essentially acted as a successor to the Celica Pikes Peak also built by Rod Millen Motorsport for the same race and class. Similar to the Celica, the Tacoma Pikes Peak was powered by a 2.1L 503E turbocharged inline-4, capable of making somewhere between 750 to 1,000 horsepower and was said to be even faster than the Celica; it shared no parts with its road-going counterpart, this being essentially a Tacoma silhouette body on a custom-built chassis. Driven by Rod Millen, the Tacoma won the 1998 and 1999 editions of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, with times of 10:07.700 and 10:11.150 respectively. Millen brought the car out of retirement in 2022 for the 100th edition of the hillclimb, where it finished 8th with a time of 11:06.15, not helped due to
