ThaiRung Transformer

And another point for you oko94. The Transformer (and its successor the Transformer 2) is based on a Toyota Hilux platform. The reason I thought this puzzle would be easier is that a much more obscure Thai Rung model had appeared on AP before (http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/2015-44/solved-oko071-1992-thairung-buddy-proposal-by-steve-harper-shado/), proposed by yourself no less!
