The current generations of Hilux and Tacoma are extremely comparable. Its not like the Hilux is really that much smaller. A couple inches here, a couple inches there, and roughly the same weight.
I’d really love a hybrid maverick, but they are impossible to get. People are still waiting on their 2021 Maverick orders.
I do think the popularity of the truck has sparked something in the auto industry. I believe Toyota is working on a competitor, but we likely won’t see that for another year out two.
