In laymen’s terms, your screwed
How did the Tacoma return if it’s always been the midsize king and never went away?
Tacoma was originally a small pick up. It increased in size over time to accomodate customer preference. My dad’s old Taco’s, even before they carried that name, were a bench seat, but a sizeable truck bed.
Now, almost impossible to find a normal 2 seat cab one, with a standard size bed.
I get it. People don’t buy pickups exclusively for the utility. They want to “sit up high”. Maybe their attitudes about pick ups need to change. If size and sitting up high is that important, then buy a full size. Meanwhile, there are a lot of us who would still value a smallish pickup size, for the actual use that a larger truck bed can provide.
Iirc, the Toyota dealership told me only 15% of Tacomas come with a 6’ bed. They had one 2wd long bed on the way, and couldn’t tell me when they would see another (much less one spec’d as I wanted).
But that is better than Ford/Chevy, who don’t even offer a 6’ bed on the Ranger/Colorado anymore.
I parked my truck (x-tra cab with 6’ bed) beside a current-gen Tacoma (quad cab with 5’ bed) and mine was still longer. So length-wise, at least, the Tacoma isn’t any bigger.
Toyota should put that sweet 2.4L 4 banger turbo in a camry, give it a manual transmission and call it GR
Put it in the GR 86
I like how the Geese complained about the noise, while this review revels in it. Vrrrrooom PSSHT.
I really wish carmakers would let the turbo noises out and mute the exhaust a little on these turbo 4s, I feel like they do the opposite to not scare people or something, and they sound awful as a result.
They should just make them both as silent as possible, only children want to hear that crap.
The fact that a Tacoma of all trucks is making stu-tu-tu noises stock is absolutely nuts. I love it.
stu-tu-tu-tacoma!
