As someone who has done video production in the past, that channel offends me on a different level...

Ehh... not sure anything in that video was accurate. Buy the time that is released 30k will be the new 20k.

A wretched channel. Mindless drivel.

Unless Toyota is well into planning it will be years and years. I never trust a video where they can't pronounce Hyundai or Prius.

Interesting that Toyota started producing small trucks ahead of their competition and dominated that market. This time, the competition 'beats them to the punch'. I am interested in buying the first reasonably-priced, plug-in hybrid small truck, and I want to have order #1, so very little wait.

Whenever the Toyota becomes available I might or might not order one, but I'm going to enjoy every mile I put on my Mav between now and then. Everything might be different two or three years from now, but as of late September 2022, I'm a Maverick kind of guy.

Toyota hybrid trucks are built in San Antonio. Pass the mega plant making the electric transmission ( Japanese named ) between my house and ranch. Hit up a conversation with some guys with Toyota ( Maverick just outside the window ) shirts. They where the hybrid managers and lead crew. The specs for the full sized truck where outstanding.
They are of course on track to steal back all levels of hybrid and EVs back from Ford. There is no ‘learning’ curve for them.

Yeah, but a hybrid Tacoma isn't even expected until Q3 of 2024: https://www.motortrend.com/news/future-cars-2024-toyota-tacoma-electric-truck/ And rumors are it'll be a little bigger, rather than smaller.

What kills me is all the full-size ($50k+) hybrid pickups still have pretty dreadful MPG (as they're still built with big HP for hauling large loads) - even the Tundra Hybrid is only 19/22.

Think you got some bad numbers the economy range given by the hybrid guys themselves where 5-6 mpg higher. ( of course they would be real world not EPA ) like the Maverick EPA is lower than most people report in actual use.
The towing numbers dropped my jaw.

So the guys that you supposedly had a conversation with have accurate numbers but the EPA doesn't know what they are talking about. Got it random internet guy. Cool story.

Important to compare apples-to-apples. Using the EPA numbers is the only way to do this.

I could make a video of me saying "Toyota will come out with a Maverick competitor some time in the future" and would provide as much accurate information as this worthless time waster.
