Sick truck "Dekotora"

Post by pecx »

The Dekotora or Decotora (デコトラ, dekotora?), an abbreviation for "Decoration Truck", is a kind of loudly decorated truck most commonly found in Japan. Dekotora commonly have neon or ultraviolet lights, extravagant paints, and shiny stainless or golden exterior parts. These decorations can be found on both the cab and the trailer, and not only on the exterior but also in the interior. Dekotora may be created by workers out of their work trucks for fun, or they may be designed by hobbyists for special events. They are sometimes also referred to as Art Trucks (アートトラック), ātotorakku)?).

Note that Dekotora does not refer to vehicles used for advertisements, political campaigns or propaganda.

ahhh yes, Pecx, I'm so glad you posted this, this is actually very big in Japan in Okinowa(sp) so says my older brother, he'd seen many of these there. As a matter of fact, it would be so awsome to have a truck to use for shipping cars like Team Falken has for thier drift team, and if the Truck was Deku

Thanks again,
