We enjoy miniature things. We really like things we can not have. Offered the bent of this publication, you’d be excused for pondering that our existing obsession is a 1/3-scale Ferrari FXX K with a functional KERS technique built from a coffee can, some rebar, and a wall wart. But it is not. Our present dork-frenzy is attributable to the incredible Japan CampingCar Show and one of its stars, the Honda N-TRUCK/N-CAMP.
Positive, yesterday, we have been all about Toyota’s fabulous new Alphard and Vellfire twins. Some saw fit to front on our adore of the avant-garde wheeled boxes. Thankfully, we’re automotive polyamorists, so our love of the Alphard/Vellfire burns undiminished in the presence of our new sweetheart. Jalopnik’s Jason Torchinsky—an idiosyncratic man if ever there was an idiosyncratic man—hipped us to the existence of this wondrous show of vehicular recreation, and we share his ardor for the N-Box–derived mini-pickup and its attendant trailer.
Hunting for all the planet like a Ford Centurion fifth-wheel hauler that motored directly into the path of some secret shrink ray out at White Sands, the N-TRUCK tows with a conventional hitch, leaving its minuscule bed totally free to carry a handful of bento boxes and a Shiba Inu. The trailer itself is wonderfully and stylishly appointed, with a zazzy green velour chair that we’d happily have in our living room.
Sadly, the roughing-it-in-absurd-style duo is merely a notion, a figment of Honda’s florid imagination. 1-off or not, it is just about perfect—the only change we’d make would be to make sure there was space to bring along a Grom.
Like Some Cat from Japan: Honda’s N-TRUCK/N-CAMP Is a Goldmine of Tiny Recreation
