News brought to you by Colby Valve

• Motor Biscuit – Toyota Stout Might be Announced Soon
  • Rumors are that the Toyota Stout could make a comeback soon
  • Toyota already rules the small truck segment by a wide margin and the RAV4 is one of the most popular cars world wide. Since Toyota already dominates this segment it could easily launch a new mini truck
  • Just like the Maverick is basically a Ford Escape with a bed, Toyota could do the same and ute a RAV4
  • If toyota does use the RAV4 as a stout base the TRD models can provide an offroad model while leaving room for a hybrid model

• Autoblog – Mustang Raptor Rumor
  • Rumor is that the Ford Mustang is rumor to be scheduled for safarification
  • Ford is developing a mustang raptor with a 5 liter v8 that routes 500 hp  to all four wheels through a ten-speed trans and electronic center diff
  • Its has also been leaked that it will have fox shocks, a 2’ lift, and all-terrain tires
  • An ever more extreme Mustang Raptor R is rumored to follow.

Last week to enter our contest:  On May 8th we will be doing a show with Andy from Warn about recovery stories.  Leading up to that show we would like you, our listeners, to write to us with your own personal stories of when you recovered someone or were recovered yourself.  We’ll be picking one story at random to win a Warn Medium Duty Accessory Kit!

(Pronounced In-yo-os)

Ineos:

• The Ineos looks a lot like the last generation of the Land Rover Defender.  Do you know why it is styled that way?
• I love how utilitarian the Ineos is.  Do you have a favorite component, like the built in roof rails?
• Is there any rigs you might compare the Ineos to for how it performs off road?

EJS:

• Favorite rig that wasn’t brought by Jeep
• Can you tell us about some of the concept Jeeps that Jeep brought?
• Do you have a favorite one?
• Did you get to go out on any trails other than Metal Masher this year?
• Do I understand correctly that you went on the first annual trailblazer run and the Jesse Combs Foundation brought Goldie Rocks to show off?
