Since we are doing logos now... Someone else on the forum made the comment and I love it so much that I plan on telling people my truck is a "P'up".

Slate Kei truck with dropdown sides to make a flatbed.
I love the small external toolbox in front of the wheel! Would be covered up by the drop-down side when hinged down, but that's easy enough to solve. And it provides a bit of a fender skirt a la GM EV1/first gen Honda Insight when folded down - though the aerodynamics of a flatbed are atrocious. Needs a matching box behind the wheel!

Opening rear window
I saw that in the video on Reddit:

The back glass hinged open like a truck topper, which makes great sense for the SUV. Needs gas struts as in your rendering or something, it didn't appear to have anything in frame holding it in place after he lifted it up (maybe someone standing out of frame holding the corner LOL?) but the ability to open/remove the back glass in SUV mode is critical, and it seems to logically extend to the same in pickup mode.

I'm not holding my breath for 4Runner/Sequoia style vertical sliding rear window that telescopes into the midgate/tailgate, but that would be sweet if it could be done!
