AMEN!

honda is being a dumbass and still pretending everyone wants ev's.

The ELEMENT was a fantastic vehicle!

the market is so hot for Honda to make a move, but they're moving too slow. Toyota is fumbling and Honda is nowhere to be seen to pick up the ball.

Honda has not shown interest in those smaller and hybrid trucks (a Maverick fighter) which are often used for commercial purposes and fleets. That's a business they feel devalues their brand appeal and resale.

Paid off by elites

Jesuits thats why

I’m all for this. since Toyota completely dropped the ball on the backseat space with the new Taco, i would pray to have good backseat room in a new compact truck. Heck, if the new Civics can be as compact as they are while having AMAZING rear space, why can’t a compact truck?? A dream..

That's because Tesla as an entire company is a vanity project.

They’re just whining because of the damn V6… but when the V6 was offered those same ppl complained about how it was laggy, not responsive, underpowered, needed more refinement, etc etc. Ppl are never happy

​@@jxmar_ agree. People online are nothing but cry babys who love to complain.

It will be called Corolla Truck/Corolla Pickup / Corolla Cross-truck /crossover truck Affordable, fuel efficient (70 MPG). practical. 4ft bed standard. 8ft bed available with Toyota adaptive wheelbase technology.

In the near future Maverick will be as small as today's F-150, maybe

Long ago, there used to be an F-100 and the Ranger was something Ford made for global markets --- and still is. Somehow the F-100 died and the Ranger was brought to US shores. The last two Rangers were designed in Australia.

@@ChrisRobato I think the Ranger is still selling pretty well in Asia. Only 2nd to Toyota. It's just funny that these cars get bigger and bigger until they had to make a smaller version which is probably the same size as when these trucks initially came out.

@@MrWhiterunGuard Actually Toyota has a truck even smaller than the Hilux and it's called the Lite Ace. A step larger would be the Hi Ace. Both are cab forward designs with 4 cylinder engines. The smallest truck is the Honda ACTY which only has a 660cc engine but is a major workhorse in Japan. There's also all sorts of tiny cab forward trucks from other Japanese and Asian manufacturers from Suzuki to Mitsubishi.

I'm in the same boat as you. Small pick up with hybrid that gets over 40mpg city. Perfect for me.

Toyota Tacoma SR trim with 4WD is just under $37,000.

*Under $30k. The Maverick released at $20k and can be reasonably equipped at under $30k, even still with their price increases. That close to $20k price point is such a draw for a lot of people!

It will be called Lexus PX. Pickup-crossover. Lexus will have a complete lineups: LX, GX, NX, RX, TX, LS, PX, etc... Lexus PX is the Lexus version of the Corolla Cross-truck / Corolla Pickup. HEV, fuel efficient (70 MPG). practical. 4ft bed standard. 8ft bed available with Toyota adaptive wheelbase technology.

I 100% agree.

People who would buy something like that SHOULD JUST BUY A DUCKING CIVIC

A Civic sedan is a double cab, basically. If you really want "the truck", just ditch the trunk lid. Now That's a sweet mini double cab truck, with a "midgate" like a Silverado EV 😬 To make it even more trucky install 35" MT tires - - - - - - - - - - If Honda should build it, it'll be called Civic Truck, or Civic Plus, or whatever. It won't take long to develop, not much re-engineering at all. It's a Civic afterall. With a slightly longer wheelbase than a regular civic, for the perfect truck proportion. 2 inches or 2 feet longer, maybe, whichever you like. With a wide-range of powertrain options : 3 Liter INLINE-6 gasoline, 3 Liter INLINE-6 DIESEL, 3 Liter INLINE-6 DIESEL hybrid, N/A / turbo / twin, quad, OCTA-turbo, PHEV, HFC, BEV, Turbine (like M1 Abrams), Jet, Pico-nuclear electric propulsion, Free-Energy Perpetual Engine (flat-earther's favorite) , Garbage-burning steam engine, If you mass-produce that thing it will be the biggest selling Honda in history, it'll kill Ridgeline's marketshare though but that's OK.

Base it off the CRV or HRV.

@@michaelfoulkes9502 I love my used 1 owner 99 CRV with only 119K miles and well kept beautiful interior Hope it goes another 119 or even more

Exactly. Build one powertrain for everything and just put a different body on top.

Ute style pickups are also quite agile. They will likely go through places where huge 4x4s won't. I cannot imagine something better on a muddy road during monsoon season snaking through a tropical rain forest.

I do enjoy a good oatmeal stout.

did you not watch my video about the Mexican supply chain being unreliable?

They would corner the truck market if they built a nice dependable inexpensive one

EV crap.

Something EV related

Probably another giant SUV or crossover.

They would never sadly.

Doesn’t help that Nissan and Mitsubishi are already working on an HD truck together now.

Toyota owns a portion of Hino trucks. Many of their diesel engines come from Isuzu. Isuzu is known to make commercial diesel engines. Who knows what Toyota will do since they have their fingers with many parts and car manufacturers. Only time will tell.

Toyota is going the opposite direction in fabricating V-6 turbos

@@youarerightboss that’s a much different market where those gasoline powered engines wouldn’t have any type of impact. Toyota Hino has huge markets for much bigger trucks in other countries. There nothing that Toyota and their joint ventures with other Japanese manufacturers have in similar scale as Ford, GM and Dodge. It is possible there is some political reason behind this as well as the Big 3 US automakers are huge donors and also have their lobbyists in Washington DC.

Maybe use N/A 3.5L v6 with PHEV on the Tundra. Look at the RamCharger.

rip venza. Rav4 will be next gen. corolla likely too.

This

oh you again

They're not. They're only convinced somehow --- I don't know how, who or what gave them that impression --- that giant truck loving Americans don't want this. But not everyone else for the rest of the world. They have a BEV Hilux soon to come out in Thailand.

28-34 depending on the hybrid

Most of those same people don't want a ttv6

RAV is more than a year away

@@ytj22 I suddenly have the patience of a monk. :)

Toyota has so many models. If anything the crown models infringe on Lexus.

@@KirkKreifelsin my opinion they should discontinue the crown sedan. It’s simply not a replacement for the Avalon🤦‍♂️ even the new Camry has a better looking interior. The crown signia is an actual successor to the 2009-2015 models. It’s big and premium. 2021-2024 were too small

@@jxmar_I don’t know why Toyota is still bothering with the dead large sedan segment 🤷

Yup

Lol, what? You mean for a limited number of EVs sold for the Chinese market? Toyota doesn't buy anybody's hybrid technology.

Not to say the Stout could origami itself larger, a small truck can't move large payloads which is what many people buy it for plus "luxury" trims. The dream stout I picture is an affordable, long range, small PHEV truck that WOULD cater to a proven void in the domestic offerings. Still no grounds to argue, nothing is concrete . . But also look at the Toyota KZfaq community channel post . . Notice a throwback there??

They even have the corolla cross. Just give it a bed instead of the suv thing and you're done!
