Well having been to several other parts of the world... including Australia... I know Toyota makes what I want and sells it in other markets. It wouldn't take much modification for them to give us a product they already sell elsewhere. Unfortunately American buyers have convinced themselves that they want monster trucks, so that's what Toyota gives us. It's rare that Toyota actually gets "outside the box" and develops something new for the market. They typically just do the Japanese thing... copy and make it better.
As for me... give me the diesel cab and chassis version with the "tray" in the back. This Tacoma composite bed is a JOKE.
