i hate the looks the idea of...and ESPECIAALLY the pathetic bed...but man...that mpg. toss a shell on it with racks and maybe i wouldn't absolutely frickin hate it? once i get back to work...i'm dropping like $500 a month on gasI got notice that ordering for Maverick opens in one month. I might pull the trigger. Here's a comparison of Maverick vs Tacoma. Since I'm not planning on towing or doing any rock crawling the Maverick wins., especially considering price ($20k vs $29K msrp) and gas mileage (40/33 vs 18/22). Also most of the reports I've read indicate that , contrary to usual, the Maverick gets better mpg than the EPA estimates.

What's Wrong With the 2022 Toyota Tacoma's Reliability?
How reliable is the 2022 Toyota Tacoma? While it's historically been a largely reliable pickup truck, it's dropped this year.www.motorbiscuit.com
Once I decided I was not storing boards or sleeping in the bed, the small bed was not an issue. It will still carry a lot of shiite- plywood, lumber bags of cement, furniture... For what I'm doing 98% of the time- just going back and forth to the beach and running errands around town, camping a few times a year and going down some dirt roads every now and then (no rock crawling), it's perfect. And the price is right. My local dealer said zero mark up, no deposit on order, and if I don't want it when it comes in, they're stoked because then they sell it at a mark up.i hate the looks the idea of...and ESPECIAALLY the pathetic bed...but man...that mpg. toss a shell on it with racks and maybe i wouldn't absolutely frickin hate it? once i get back to work...i'm dropping like $500 a month on gas

I also was NOT a fan of the looks, but I figure I'll change the rims and and put some hiking boots on it first thing, and then it's not so bad. I'd add bed racks to this look..

Not mine and it is the AWD non hybrid. Probably has a lift kit. No lift for the hybrid, but you can put larger tires on it. I've been spending way too much time researching about the truck. I'm figuring tires, rims, racks and a tonneau cover will add $5000 to the price, but since the base price is $22K it's still a bargain.that looks really good for that truck. did you level it or anything? was gonna ask what dealer you ordrred from because i heard the whole buying experience has been a huge hassle but looks like you're in canada

It's back to the past for me- surf racks.not being able to throw a board in the back just seems flat out frickin ridiculous though. and i do happen to um...sleep in the bed every so often.
clearly doesn't take it off road based on the tires and clearance. oh well. why even bother these days.It's back to the past for me- surf racks.
This is for you!

I doubt it. Racks would be necessary.Can you fit a shortboard in there diagonally?
My shortbed Tacoma could fit a 6'8" or 6'10" or so in it when I had a shell on it and I could kind of dip the nose to the bottom corner and prop the tail up a bit to sneak it in
I doubt it. Racks would be necessary.
