Enough to haul a washer or dryer, or a load of mulch it is. Everything you need, nothing you don't. Extra points for a 3 speed manual shift on the column!  |

Does have carpet. I honestly enjoy driving it. Looking at some form of spray in bed liner, a light window tint and I'm currently waiting on a Gen 5 rotor pack for an Eaton supercharger for it. It'll have an AC compressor in it until I either plumb it as an air compressor or make an idler to replace it since it's required for the supercharger belt routing. I've had it since ~2007. Drove it to work today vs take the Audi. Some of us put our money where our mouth is. I'd drive that old truck too. It's pretty! |

| It might be good. Who knows? I drove a 22r 1992 pre Tacoma with a 5 speed manual for 23 years until the sciatica made it nearly impossible. I had a Maverick on preorder and when it came in I couldn’t make myself spend 30+ thousand on a ford. I ended up settling for a 2 year old Tacoma SR with a 2.7. It does everything I want except it’s about 25% bigger than it needs to be. |

Like the idea of its not vapor where, since will end up with the Toyota IMV 0 being offered to the USA market as well. But the glitch, what are you going to get for $25K, with EPA/NHTSA/FTC demanding's on the cars/trucks that are driving the prices up on them to start with (abs and all that). Also, is this a truck that can be taken on the Highway, or we talking the likes of the mini trucks that can not do the legal speed limits on the highway, and it like a golf cart, can only be driving on the side roads instead? My take, it a $10K Toyota IMV 0 or likes out of the Philippine/India being imported from abroad (at least in parts), and your looking at a $15K mark up to sell/assembly it here in the states that helps them sidestep some of the completed imported vehicle tarrifs/taxes instead.  Simply put, without actual photos/rear specs, your can be playing the bait and switch game on the $25 deposit (read the whole strike upper fiasco), if not just total vaporware that they will never be able to sell in the states for highway use in the end. |

Startwith the 2005 Toyota Tacoma 2 door pickup. Which original came out in august of 2004 as an 2005 model year truck. That generation was the best. They sold till 2015 the same truck, you could even get a 4x4 with an automatic towards the end of the run. They were perfect in the general sense. I had one roll up windows was kinda a pain sometimes but it worked. No power mirrors worked because they were so fucking big. IT had an automatic and AC. 2 of the BIG 6 you need in ANY vehicle to make Americans happy. Then came the 2016 model year and on which ended the small 2 door pickup truck in the USA for Toyota. "Wait what are the big six". You say... You see countless studies were done from the 90s all the way till the late 2009 ish is that People want the big six to make a car livable. #1. Automatic Transmission #2. Air Conditioning #3. Power Windows #4. Power Mirrors #5. Power Door Locks With basic FOB Remote. #6. Decent Radio. You know AM/FM Stereo with 4 speakers. EVERTHING else is fluff puffery just things NOW I would say the Backup Camera is the best extra add on Automobiles have on them today those things really do help. BUT they are not the big six they are mandated by the FEDS now. IF say Hyundai or KIA (YES Paging Little Pony) made an exact copy of that 2 door base model 2015 Toyota Tacoma truck in the USA they would sell everyone they made. |

The bad news it's not like the Maverick in that you are giving a guy $25 and then watching him fuck off with it. |
