When it comes to SEMA Show appearances, Toyota sure knows how to get the crowd going. The Japanese brand never disappointed with their mad creations, and yes, right now I'm thinking about that angry 850 HP Camry sleeper car from last year's show.
Coming back to the present time, we're pleased to see Toyota haven't lost their appetite for one-off vehicles. On that note, allow us to get you acquainted with the Toyota Ultimate Utility Vehicle.

If you're thinking "hey, this looks like a jacked-up minivan", you're perfectly right. The prototype is based on the Toyota Tacoma but received a Batmobile-like Sienna body, you know, for the superhero dad. For a more testosterone-oozing appearance and off-road usability, the car was fitted with a winch and an aggressive front bumper.

Other goodies include a set of chunky off-road tires, additional LED lights mounted above the windshield, and a matte black paint job.

We don't know what kind of engine is working under the hood, but it will surely be a lot softer than the one chosen for the sleeper Camry we mentioned earlier. However, we did spot a Toyota Gazoo Racing sticker on the back of the Ultimate Utility Vehicle, which could suggest the car might feature a lot of racing-inspired parts under that menacing exterior.

In any case, we have a hunch this isn't the only model we'll see at SEMA wearing the Toyota badge, so all we can do is hope all of Toyota's cars will wear the same flavor on the show's stage.
