Love how comfortability is “crucial”. It’s a truck, I don’t need it to be comfortable I need it to be functional

 

Meh, you are only 10 percent of the market. The other 90 percent want comfort and gizmos/technology and automation.

 

Fuck it! Functional Truck for sale... 36k! I need comfy cozy!

She’s like me!!! Not for sale!

 

Psychology is wonderful, isnt it?

 

The most "crucial" question is which one is cuter, I don't give a shit about anything else!

 

No manual transmission.

 

It's not the 40's anymore. People expect more, even if you don't.

 

I've learned long ago that all these auto journalists dont really do anything in the real world to give them enough credibility to talk shit on any truck.

Review cars? Sure. Trucks? Fuck no.

 

oh that's what "motor biscuit" says, huh?

... ok

publisher of remarkable automotive critiques (that i just found) titled: "Is the Subaru Ascent Turbocharged?" and "How Much Does The Honda 2021 HR-V Cost?"

wow - some hard hitting automotive journalism there. and they published 26 other articles just today! a completely legitimate website made by real people, i'm sure. definitely not a click harvester.

 

I think it's safe to say that pretty much every truck beats Tacoma in the seat ergonomics area. Whether that matters to people or not is a different question. Sales number suggest it doesn't...

 

I mean, yes. I'll take still a slightly cramped cabin over any ford.

 

even if that shit is true (didn’t read), who cares. Just look at the ranger. that’s what I through , no one wants a truck that looks like a sprinter van.

 

Coming from sports cars, I like the tacoma seating position where you sit on the floor. Every vehicle I ever drive I put the seat all the way down the lowest it will go.

At 5'11" I'm the perfect height where I'm not too tall that I feel cramped in a tacoma.

 

Give it another generation or two and Toyota will make the looks of the front end of the Tacoma match the minivan engine.

I'd drive it

 

Tacomas are dated and based on a 2005 platform, of course it's less comfortable.

 

I’d much rather pay the high msrp for reliability and dependability of a truck rather than fancy seats and comfort crap. The less stuff in it the less that can go wrong. Albeit the Tacoma has so many damn computers in it that there’s still plenty that can go wrong but it still has less than Ford. Maybe I just need to sell my Tacoma and pick up a truck from the 80’s or 90’s. Bare bones and will run forever.

 

Can attest to the truth in this

 

Or are they really saying it’s time we stop drinking the Toyota Kool-Aid
