VW Amarok is a tiny bit smaller than a Tacoma and comes with a diesel. Gets more like 35+ mpg though, hope that’s alright?
The Isuzu D-Max is a bit smaller than the Amarok and only comes with small diesels. And one slightly bigger diesel.
Sadly I think those don’t get sold in your country because you’re probably in the US given you mentioned the Tacoma rather than the Hilux, which is also a tiny bit smaller than a Tacoma and has diesel options.
Due to the chicken tax, importing light duty trucks into the US is prohibitively expensive. Building them in the US makes little sense for smaller models, as those don’t sell as well as their bigger counterparts. Hence, no small trucks in the US :(
I just want my slightly smaller than a Tacoma sized truck with a small diesel that gets like 28 mpg. Is that really too much to ask?
I want one of those old 90s Toyota trucks so bad, I wish they still made them. Like that little black truck in back to the future.
That truck was from 1985, but I know what you mean. That truck was awesome!
At least the Ford Maverick is something that exists. I know it’s based on an Escape platform, but that’s fine for most uses of trucks that size.
Yep. In the US. The hilux would be the ideal vehicle.

There’s a little baby Tacoma in my garage and I want it so bad! My favorite truck.
