    I own a garage door company and I am considering buying a 2020 tacoma as a work truck. I need a vehicle that gets good gas mileage can hold a ladder rack and hold repair equiptment ie: springs, openers and mall parts. I hardly ever haul doors and think the load that I would carry regularly would be about 500 pounds. I drive a lot and would like something comfortable.

    Lot of companies like Orkin use them as fleet vehicles. Gas mileage isnt what you would expect for a smaller pickup, but about on par or slightly better than what you'd likely be driving otherwise. Comfort is relative. Not the roomiest, depending on height you might complain. I miss the seats from my 2nd gen.

    Def not gonna get “good” gas mileage. And like mentioned earlier, comfort is subjective. I think my 19 Pro is comfy, but I don’t work from it.
