I am giving up on waiting for my Tacoma.

[Duck Amuck]

Wasn't my intention to offend anyone... Orange was my first choice for a Tacoma, too, but it's not available on a Limited trim. I was sort of okay with either blue or red, but only because there was nothing better.
Loving the Eruption Green on a Maverick though.

Hahaha, that was mostly tounge in cheek.

Sorry you're getting a rough ride around here. Enjoy the Maverick, they're a great vehicle no matter what the naysayers think.

I am a big boy and will not be traumatized for life
I just don't get why people get so defensive and even aggressive. Oh well...

Have a great weekend.

I agree with the dude that said you have to go out and do your own work to find what you want, instead of waiting on Toyota to magically make your truck, when there is no ordering system.

My wife's RAV's transmission went out unexpectedly so we had to get a new vehicle. This was in May, right when the Tacoma were especially hard to find.

What did I do? For a solid week I researched and found the truck I wanted, that was in stock, which was no easy task.

Drove 8 hours one way to buy it and pick it up.

So what I getting at is, maybe try and find the truck you want instead of coming onto a forum and announcing that Toyota hasn't made your truck, when Toyota isn't going to make your specific truck.

Thank you for your words of wisdom, I have found it

But it's not a Toyota - not anymore.

That's exactly what I need. Not a bulky heavy truck that spends power on hauling its own battery. I don't do offroading, I don't tow huge trailers. A small unibody pickup is ideal for me.
But no, Santa Cruz has no hybrid + AWD combination.

So, why did you feel the need to order the toyota in first place

I already explained (twice), but I get it, people won't read the entire conversation (I wouldn't). So to recap...

I wanted a small pickup truck that is an AWD hybrid.

Went on a Ford website to order a Maverick, but to my huge disappontment, I had to either choose a hybrid FWD or a non-hybrid AWD.

Then I started searching for alternatives, and the only one available was a Tacoma. Not quite what I wanted, but there was nothing else. Now, there finally is an AWD hybrid Maverick (the 2025 model) - exactly what I wanted from the beginning.

Pretty much nobody x shops a maverick vs Tacoma if he talked Ranger I get it.. Clearly a troll looking for attention. Zero contribution to Tacoma 4G, other than entertainment

Nailed it.

 

[Bad Samaritan]

Nailed it.

You can't just let it go, can you?

Okay, I'll bite. Why are you so bitter? Buyer's remorse? Should have waited for a Maverick?

See, I was trying to have a civilized conversation, but you can't help it but fume all the time. What is your problem?

 

[Sner]

That, and also to point out that Toyota has lost me as a customer party because of terrible ordering experience. Maybe someone at Toyota pays attention.

And also to let other people like myself, who wanted a small hybrid + AWD unibody pickup truck but had to settle for an overpriced, bulky, plagued with reliability issues Tacoma, know that finally, they have options now.

I also don’t get it, it’s clear you wanted a Tacoma from the beginning, but because you‘ve been waiting too long, you are settling for a maverick, and your looking for other Tacoma owners approval?

i never crossed shopped my Tacoma with a Maverick, I did look at Ranger and Colorado/canyon. One would think someone cross shopping a maverick would have landed on a Santa Cruz … or maybe a ridgeline

No, Tacoma was a compromise because there wasn't a Maverick that's an AWD and hybrid. Now, there is.

Thanks, very cool! Appreciate it. I would have never found it myself.

Well that’s pretty evident isn’t it?

For you intelligent people it is.
We, who are not blessed with a high intelligence, is a different story...

1. Glad you found a vehicle you are happy with. I wish you the best with it.
2. I don’t think your 20k difference is real, at least It’s not in California. Every 20-28k Maverick is marked up 20k, so price being about equal, I think the Tacoma is superior, not better, but superior because its much more capable.

My 2 cents is worthless, but as you said, this is a forum for discussing purchases.

I am in Minnesota. My Tacoma build MSRP was $62K, my Maverick is $42K. Exactly $20K difference before tax
