Toyota Stout Submodels
The Toyota Stout was one of the company's first pickup trucks sold in North America, arriving in 1964. It predates the more familiar Hilux and established Toyota's reputation for building durable, simple, and reliable work vehicles. Powered by a small 4-cylinder engine like the 1.9L 3R, the Stout wasn't fast, but its sturdy ladder frame and leaf-spring suspension meant it could handle tough jobs.
Collectors are drawn to the Stout for its rarity and unique, almost cartoonish styling. With its integrated headlights and friendly face, it stands out from its American contemporaries. Because so few were sold and even fewer survived, finding one is a challenge. It's a key piece of Toyota's history in the US, representing the brand's initial efforts to crack the utility vehicle market.
The market for Stouts is thin, with very few public sales. The wide price range, from project trucks to restored showpieces, reflects the vast differences in condition. Well-restored, original examples command the highest prices, while many have been modified or customized over the years. Buyers value originality and rust-free condition above all else.
Buying Tips
- Rust is the biggest issue. Thoroughly inspect the bed floor, cab corners, floor pans, and frame for corrosion.
- Parts are extremely difficult to find. Prioritize complete trucks, as sourcing missing trim, glass, or interior components can be nearly impossible.
- Many Stouts have had engine swaps. While a later Toyota 20R/22R can improve drivability, it reduces the truck's originality and value to some collectors.
- The original electrical system is a simple 6-volt setup. Check that all lights and gauges function, as troubleshooting can be tedious.
- Check the kingpins for wear, as this is a common issue that affects steering feel and safety.
