Overview
The Toyota Stout was Toyota's light truck from 1956 to 2000 worldwide, but only one small variant reached the US: the Stout 1900 (RK41), a version of the Lite Stout fitted with the 1.9-litre 3R engine. It was sold in North America from 1964 to 1967, and just four units were sold in its first year on the American market. In North America the Hilux replaced the Stout in 1969.
The Lite Stout (RK40) arrived in Japan in September 1963 as a shorter, lighter-duty companion to the heavy-duty Stout. Its independent coil-sprung front suspension gave a more car-like ride, and it was meant to compete directly with Nissan's Datsun minitrucks. The heavy-duty Stout kept a solid front axle; South Africa's Stallion was the Lite Stout built there from 1965 and named to tell it apart from the solid-axle original.
A 1964 facelift added a cab enlarged by 50 mm (2 in) and replaced the 1.5-litre R engine with the slightly larger 1,490 cc 2R; the Lite Stout's wheelbase was lengthened to suit the bigger cab.
Highlights
- Stout 1900 (RK41): the Lite Stout with the 1.9 L 3R engine, sold in North America from 1964 to 1967; four units sold in the first year.
- Front suspension: independent and coil-sprung on the Lite Stout and US Stout 1900; the original heavy-duty Stout used a solid front axle.
- Conventional mechanicals across the second-generation Stout family: ladder frame, leaf springs and four-wheel drum brakes.
- The Hilux replaced the Stout in North America in 1969; in many other markets the two were sold side by side, with the Stout as the heavier-duty option.
