Small trucks are available. A base model, 2wd, 2-door Tacoma is not big.



They don't make a 2-door Tacoma any more (for the US market). The smallest now is an "access cab".

I bought a 2-door Tacoma 5 years ago, and the dealer struggled to find one for me. It shipped from over 1000 miles away, meanwhile they had 20+ 4-door Tacomas on the lot.


It may be poor memory, or maybe different styling, but a 2020 Tacoma feels a lot bigger than a late 80s Toyota Pick Up or Ford Ranger.

Looking it up, the longest fourth-generation Hilux was 195.5 inches long, and the shortest Tacoma is 212 inches. Similarly its ~60 inches vs ~70 inches of height. For the single cab, long-bed it's 10 inches higher and 16 inches longer and the Hilux was available with a single-cab short bed that was even 12 inches shorter.


It's comparable to the Dodge Dakota. And the Dakota was supposed to be larger than the compact trucks.
