l You get taken serious by your fellow carbrained americans because ""trucks"" are normalized and small handy cars are ridiculed.
So unless you are a fragile piece of human, choose the right one.
You're viewing a single thread.
Even Toyota's own Tacoma line is much more modest than that monstrosity on the left side of the image. I think their business and marketing people saw the trend in America for increasingly larger pickup trucks and pushed back against it, realizing themselves that it's pointless and ridiculous to have a truck that large.
All of the Tacoma's I've driven were pretty straightforward trucks despite it having 4 seats.
They also make the Tundra which is every bit as large as this truck shown.
The Toyota Tundra honestly makes the Ford F150 feel small.
It's estimated that Ford makes an average of $10,000 in profit for each F150 sold. Toyota would be stupid to not make a full sized truck to get some of that cash.
The older small Tacoma were my fav trucks.
