EVERYTHING you need to know about Toyota's NEW Side By Side.

What happens here

Federico highlights the innovative frame structure of the SCION 01. He points out the 'very stiff spine' at the bottom of the vehicle, which is constructed using rectangular tubing for rigidity. This design is atypical for the side-by-side segment and provides the necessary strength to bolt on the fully welded cage. He explains that this superior strength-to-weight ratio offers enhanced safety, particularly in the event of a rollover. Furthermore, he emphasizes that the factory-installed cage eliminates the need for owners to purchase and install aftermarket cages for racing or extreme off-roading, as it already meets FIA and SCORE standards.

Goal: Showcase the unique frame design and its contribution to strength and safety
