Finally looks wide enough that two normal size people can sit in it side by side without feeling like they're Siamese twins

Blows my mind that the Tacoma regularly hits a quarter million + sales per year. It hits the "buy" button for an awful lot of people out there. Journalists regularly trash it as the worst midsize out there. Nobody cares.

Chalk that up to pretty decent off road ability but more importantly a VERY significant amount of aftermarket support. People with Mavericks are clamoring for skid plates and aftermarket companies are like "nah, not going to make any for the maverick" yet anything you could possibly dream up in the aftermarket world for a Tacoma and there are dozens of companies producing it. Also, for the most part they are outright dependable although everyone has a story about how their brother's friend's cousin bought three different tacomas and they were all taken back via lemon law.

I mean to be fair though, at least we can share some aftermarket parts with the bronco sport and at least that platform is getting a little bit of attention from the aftermarket lol

Not quite sure where you are coming from on this. Tacoma is about two inches wider than the Maverick. Now head and foot room stats favor the Mav, but seating width for two???

I actually spent a lot of time trying to convince myself to buy a Tacoma, but it just never checked all of the boxes. Thinking about the interior space, the technology, the outdated transmission and engine…the only positive for me was the potential resale value lol.
The total amount that I spent on my XL AWD Maverick could have bought me a used Tacoma with 100k miles on it if I’m lucky.

The list of things that need to be true for me to trade my tremor (whenever it arrives) for this (whenever it arrives lol)

1. Hybrid or solid enough mpg on the new turbo
2. Better cabin space
3. Much better tech and infotainment
4. Doesn’t look like a transformer
5. Isn’t 50k

We bought our 2001 Tacoma 19 years ago, used, for 14,500. Stolen and totaled last year. Insurance gave us 16,500. Keeping one of those out front is like parking a naked lady in a chair by the front gate. Was a fine truck. Compared to current Tacs, it was a small truck, though the bed was 6'.

Which is somewhat suprising since every other truck in AZ seems to be a Taco. You'd almost think it's the only thing with a bed available here!

Nice trucks but no power no mpg and way over priced. Maverick is a much better value.

So the tacoma interior is too small… but you ordered an even smaller truck?? 🧐
The interior space in the Maverick is actually better. I had a Tacoma and the Maverick feels so much more roomy.
