When I worked at the Lexus dealer, we used a Tacoma and a T-100 as our parts trucks. We took off all the Toyota badges and replaced them with Lexus badges. At the time, they weren't that different and they are the same company anyway, but it looked decent. We actually took pictures of it and sent it to Lexus corporate telling them they should compete with the "Lincoln-ed up" F-150. Yeah, it didn't happen...a Lexus pickup seemed ridiculous at the time. I mean what Luxury brand would have a truck....oh, damn, now a couple of them do....anyway.
I'm not a big fan of doing this at all. When they're done right, I think it's kind of interesting to see how well some brands "fit together".
