a manual transmission Tacoma (the only mid-sized truck with one) that gets better MPG than a hybrid Maverick.
You’re kind of a moron.
The Tacoma with a manual gets worse MPG than the automatic Tacoma and WAY worse MPG than the hybrid Maverick. The manual Tacoma is estimated 18/23/20 MPG, while the Maverick I currently own long term averages around 37 MPG, gets 36 MPG on road trips and around 40 MPG on my commute to work. As far as selling a Tacoma for 90% of what you paid, my Maverick could be sold today for more than I paid for it and a 2022 Maverick Hybrid is currently worth 91% of the MSRP of a 2024 Maverick Hybrid.
And while you can run a Prius Prime in EV mode for up to 44 miles, that’s a far cry from an actual EV that can do both a 60 mile round trip work commute and a 200 mile road trip in full EV mode. And don’t argue that I don’t need that full range, because my entire point is that everyone has different needs and maybe I actually do (I personally don’t, which is why I got the Maverick; but I’ve owned in the past both a 90 mile range Toyota Rav4 EV and a 240 mile range Bolt EV so I understand what each is like).
Yes, Toyota has a diverse range of vehicles. Yes, Toyota has very high quality. No, they don’t fit every use case. No, they don’t look all that great, which is both personal preference and also important for many people.
