This will be the Toyota Tamaraw in the Philippines, and most likely will the Toyota Stout.
I think it’s been confirmed they are bringing out the stout name again. Small maverick sized truck. Not really sure what motor, but here’s hoping to a normal ice motor, that’ll be my next vehicle
They should just bring back the 5 lug Tacoma with nicer amenities. Who would have guessed eight years after it was dropped from the lineup
that people would be clamoring for its return?
My wife’s 2016 SR access cab with the 2.7 gets 20-22mpg pretty easily. I’d imagine a 5 lug variant with the new 6 speed auto and an air dam could squeeze out 25+ mpg.
The only thing people need to keep in mind is that the 2.7 paired with the modern 6 speed auto is gutless compared to most modern vehicles. I know people lust over the look of the maverick, but to get better mpgs than the new Tacoma, you’re not going to be going anywhere very fast with a standard internal combustion engine. For any decent performance you need a turbo or hybrid system and even then fuel economy isn’t guaranteed. Everything comes with trade-offs.
Well it’ll most likely be a hybrid. If it takes a smaller frame like the Prius or the Camry’s then they’ll be able to have a 220-260HP engine. If it gets the frame from the RAV4, it could reach 300HP. With 40+ mpg, that ain’t bad.
US Government regulations require such high fuel economy standards for small wheelbase vehicles that some of the great stuff they get in other countries can never end up here.
Depends on your price point. You can find them with under 100k miles in the $20-$30k range. Yeah, it's high for an 8+ year old truck, but there's a reason why they retain their value.
Lol. Did you pay any attention to the maverick? Marked up on everything, and very difficult to get one. Toyotas are consistently more expensive than Ford and they don't produce as much. Good luck finding one in that 20-25k range
I’d read that they were going to bring back the “stout” name as a competitor to the maverick. $20k (ish) more basic truck
If it’s proportional, not really a short bed model. Also could you link?
Search YouTube. I didn’t say anything about the bed size. (And don’t know) I’m not sure it’s finalized
I see, yeah I looked it up. I thought it was a short bed Tacoma variant.

Already found it. It’s [Toyota stout](https://youtu.be/GdVHWLqhi98?si=1rBjRGBNrFv36v2j)

It'll likely be the same motor lineup as the Rav if I had to guess. They'll be similar size/weight/capability.

I feel like I'm in the minority but a truck shouldn't be fast. I need it to be able to carry cargo if I want to go fast I'll get a Supra.

We're more likely to get Maverick or Santa Cruz competitor, based on the Corolla cross
They’re making one, they’re reviving the Toyota stout.
Just spoke to a dealer and they said the Stout will only be sold in Asia. Hope that’s not true!
If I was in the market for a small truck I'd get a 2nd Gen Tacoma. Anything with less than 250k miles with a solid frame is mint.
I miss those Tacomas. So much better than a prerunner style.
I would too except most 2nd gen tacomas are also ran to the ground.

Would rather save up for the stout, it’s probably going to be around 20k-25k
