Press event so probably the case.

Ford is no slouch either you should Google the history. Ford and Toyota cross license each other's patents for the hybrid components. Only reason I felt comfortable buying the lariat hybrid.

Yeah saw that imagine a rear seat passenger banging their knees on that...

It's the new Toyota reliability. Combining turbos with a hybrid motor. Unless it has some mind blowing mpg figures don't know why you would add the complication. Turbo is already complicated enough. It beats out the raptor by a little on the torque but now you have to deal with a hybrid...

You can only get the hybrid with their upper trims so probably $40k starting.

The Lexus is more aerodynamic though I'm guessing 25 mpg range.

Dunno. This will be the first time that the taco will have real competition with the gm twins, the Frontier is the only NA V6 option left, and Ford launched a newly designed truck instead of an old tired design from another a market which prior to that they weren't even offering anything. So...

They lifted seat by 1.5" which doesn't sound like they really fixed the seating position so no idea until you actually sit in one. Watched the whole thing seemed pretty meh. Liked the cooled seats but that was about it.

I think they lifted the embargo early because TFL just had this on:

The hybrid is the top end engine not looking good for the mpg efficiency crowd.

2025 at the earliest. I'm betting it will be more expensive and the hybrid will not be free if it is even offered.

But the biggest selling point is the resale value and reliability! That's after they overpay for the truck especially with adm and have been living with terrible mpg in an uncomfortable cabin for years! Who thinks they are going to get the new taco for msrp? Saw on a youtube live the other...

That will be the day when Toyota sells an entry level truck with a hybrid powertrain as standard. Not happening unless the upcharge is built into MSRP.

Exactly most of the people who talk about the tacos capabilities off road will use it very rarely if ever just because of the price of the truck. 95% of the time it will be hauling air in traffic with terrible mpg.

Yeah it sucks I feel for those haven't gotten it. But with Ford ramping up hopefully everyone gets theirs soon.

I was late to the party and by the time I made up my mind orders probably exploded. I didn't find out about the Maverick until around September 2022.

A truck that gets 42 mpg+ . Been super happy with mine! Ordered 11-15-21 got it second week of April 2023.

Ram and Jeep have way too much inventory so you got it at the right time! Enjoy the ride.

I have my doubts on the hybrid being tuned for efficiency my evidence being the Tundra where they tuned it for performance because that's what everyone thinks when they hear Toyota hybrid 🙄 but we will see. Even if the hybrid efficiency is close enough for you I'm thinking there will be a hefty...

Will be interesting as the last ranger was not designed for the NA market. Now with a fresh design we will see if it exceeds expectations. So far not impressed with the leaked photos. Prefer the Ranger or gm twins from the front. Multiple reviewers have mentioned a more comfortable seat in...
