Well, this could just be it. During AutoFun Philippines' visit to Indonesia, we saw the Toyota Rangga Concept displayed in various guises at the 2023 GAIKINDO Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS. It offered a glimpse of Toyota’s upcoming commercial vehicle plans for the ASEAN region. Initially showcased during the 60th an
