Perfect generation to bring back the Regular Cab?

A 4 cylinder turbo, regular cab 4x4 with 33's and a stick and I'm in line right now.

 

Not gonna happen is it?

 

Nobody offers a regular cab of any kind now. Why would Toyota do that?

 

Doesn't Ford still sell a regular cab?

 

1/2 ton all 3 offer it. No 1/4 ton is offered in RC.

 

Yeah, but the statement was "nobody offers a regular cab of any kind now." I may be nit-picky, but still...

 

this is closest to what you described

however, 6MT and 6FT bed combo yet to be seen and confirmed

 

How many manual transmissions are offered in mid-size trucks? Why does Toyota do that?

 

Because they always have and they sell every single one.

 

Regular Cabs have low interior volume which would dictate much higher CAFE MPG numbers, not gonna happen.

 

How much higher?

EV RC would be killer.

Would a 5.0 V8 on 37s work in a pinch? Sorry no manny…

 

That’s sharp!!

Well get comfy in your chair then.

CAFE favors longer and larger wheel bases, hence why Regular Cabs are an endangered species. It was a miracle that Chevrolet even reintroduced theirs back into the US market (RCSB that is).

 

"For example, a Toyota Tacoma Regular Cab with a footprint of 46.4 square feet must achieve 32.8 mpg in 2017, and 45.4 mpg by 2025. A Tacoma Double Cab with a 6-foot box, on the other hand, needs to achieve just 26.4 mpg in 2017 and 35.5 mpg by 2025."

So they shouldn't have been making any 3rd gens or likely 4th gens?

 

I was ready to order one like that in '18, but they wouldn't give me the trade in that the Toyota dealer would...
A guy I pass every morning going to work has a white one with blue wheels, looks damn good.
