In many years of owning trucks of almost all manufacturers, I’ve never used a rear window defogger. Like mentioned, make sure the hvac is not on recirc.
Good luck with Toyota paint. Google search Toyota super white. There are many Tacoma owners with the paint flaking off. My 2019 Tacoma tailgate had to be repainted when brand new because there was so much debris under the paint.
A small entry level vehicle for 2 6’+ people and a growing teen? I would look at least mid size. The Honda may cost a bit more than a Mav, but will you be dealing with all the shortcomings? Also, in 5 years which will be worth more?
Nobody has mentioned the non 4K towing package 20 sq ft frontal limit which pretty much eliminates a normal travel trailer. A pop up would be much better.
I don’t know why anyone thinks a locking gas cap will prevent anything. A thief will find it much quicker and more convenient just to pop a hole in your plastic gas tank and let it drain into a pan.
My point exactly. The OP shows an unrealistic short travel of 65mpg, so I’d share mine. Post back when he gets 65mpg over a tank full, or even 100 miles. Anyone can claim great mpg for a short trip.
