I had a 1999 Tacoma 4x4 V6 ex-cab short bed that was about 6" skinnier than this 2009. I liked it much better for the tight spots. I wouldn't buy a newer Tacoma, they are too damned big now for getting through the tight trails ... which is why I started buying little Toyota trucks 40+ years ago. Toyota needs to introduce a new little truck with dimensions, capabilities, pricing of 40 years ago. My first new 1983 4x4 Shortbed regular cab SR5 was just over $7K.

Oh yeah,Toyota would kill it if they did that! Especially while all the other guys are going bigger. Plus it would compete with the side by side industry.

Those little 80’s Toyota trucks were and still are bad ass. My brother had over 400k on his before he sold it and now regrets he did sell it. I’d love to see some smaller trucks come out. Bullshit we can’t get the Hilux here.

Was at Home Depot the other day and a giant ass Chevy pulled in next to me, ffs the tailgate was over my head. I fail to see the purpose for such monstrosities. Need a ladder to get anything in or out of the bed. Can’t imagine the fuel consumption and insurance for one.

If anybody could do it, it would be Toyota. Hope they do!

There has been some talk of Toyota reintroducing a no frills base model mini truck (roadandtrack.com).

They show a 2WD version in the pictures. Not a pretty truck though. Still, I would check it out if they make it available in the next few years.

I did hear rumors a while back. That’s cool, I hope they go forward with it. Definitely a game changer to the industry if they do. Sorta an Americanized jap truck platform. For my purposes and lifestyle the more utilitarian the better! Purpose driven design is okay with me. Lol, pretty girls ain’t always the best girls!
