Default Snapped some pics of a Toyota test mule

Took these a couple months ago, finally got around to posting them. Not real familiar with Toyota's SUV lineup, so I don't know what it is, but it was fun snapping pics of these and having the drivers get up and leave once they noticed These were taken at a gas station in Payson, AZ. They were taken at night, so the quality isn't the greatest unfortunately.

These are very large pictures, so instead of displaying them in the thread I'm just going to link to them.

#2 is a good shot of the interior/dash
#5 is a good shot of the rear suspension
#6 is an ok shot of the rear end
#7 is an ok shot of the front

Is the duct tape going to come standard or is it a factory Option?

What's up with the rear suspension? Are those dust covers standard or hiding some secret toyota suspension?

So what, they make a few prototypes and try and mask them up while road testing in public?

It looks like they cut the body panels off a current model and duct taped them on to hide the new body panels. Pretty slick. Did you notice a hint of diesel in the air?
