Key Features

• Officially Licensed by Toyota — This cab section is licenced directly from Toyota, ensuring you get an accurate, authentic replica that respects the original truck's design heritage and proportions. This exclusive licensing adds value and authenticity that aftermarket alternatives simply cannot match, making it the only correct choice for purists building a 1987 XtraCab.
• ABS Plastic Injection Moulding Construction — The cab is manufactured using precision ABS plastic injection moulding, which produces sharp, crisp detailing throughout the body while maintaining excellent structural durability for demanding RC projects. This manufacturing method allows for fine panel lines, accurate window frames, and authentic trim details that capture the original vehicle's character.
• Lightweight yet Robust Design — Weighing just 176 grams (6.20 ounces), the cab provides a solid foundation without adding unnecessary weight to your RC chassis, allowing for better handling and performance. The weight distribution is carefully engineered to work seamlessly with 1/10 scale RC truck platforms.
• Compatible with Complete XtraCab Systems — This main cab section integrates perfectly with the complete RC4WD 1987 Toyota XtraCab Hard Body Complete Set (Z-B0216) and works on popular 1/10 scale chassis kits such as the RC4WD Trail Finder 2 Truck Kit LWB (Z-K0059), giving you a platform to create an entirely finished vehicle.
• Expandable Component System — This cab is part of RC4WD's modular XtraCab system, allowing you to purchase additional components separately including the bed section, interior details, tailgate and cab back, seats, windows, and specific parts to build exactly the configuration you desire.
• Scale Detail Authenticity — The cab features accurate proportions and detailing faithful to the 1987 Toyota XtraCab's original design, making it perfect for collectors, scale purists, and anyone building a display-quality RC model truck.

Technical Performance

The RC4WD 1987 Toyota XtraCab Main Cab is engineered as a body component rather than a powered vehicle, meaning it's designed to be mounted onto an existing 1/10 scale RC chassis platform such as the RC4WD Trail Finder 2. The cab is manufactured from ABS plastic using injection moulding, a manufacturing process renowned for producing sharp, detailed parts with excellent dimensional accuracy and structural strength. At 176 grams (6.20 ounces), the cab presents minimal mass that won't dramatically impact your chassis's handling characteristics or performance. The ABS plastic material offers good impact resistance, making it suitable for active RC use where occasional bumps and minor collisions are inevitable. For buyers in the UK considering this as part of a scale RC build project, the cab's weight and durability make it suitable for both static display and occasional gentle running. The injection-moulded construction means the body comes ready to use without any assembly of the cab section itself, though you may wish to paint, weather, or customise it according to your personal preferences and the specific XtraCab configuration you're building.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the RC4WD 1987 Toyota XtraCab Main Cab used for? — This cab section is a body component designed to be mounted on a 1/10 scale RC chassis platform to create a finished scale model of the classic 1987 Toyota XtraCab pickup truck.

The cab forms the central component of a complete XtraCab build when combined with optional bed, interior, and other XtraCab-specific parts.
• Is this suitable for beginners? — This product is best suited to RC enthusiasts with some experience in scale RC projects and body installation, as it is a component part rather than a complete ready-to-run vehicle.

However, the actual installation of the cab onto a compatible chassis is straightforward for anyone with basic RC building experience.
• What chassis is this compatible with? — The RC4WD 1987 Toyota XtraCab Main Cab is confirmed compatible with the RC4WD Trail Finder 2 Truck Kit LWB (Z-K0059) 1/10 scale chassis, as shown in official manufacturer images.

Purchasing these components allows you to build a fully detailed, complete XtraCab configuration.
