Well it's too small however…
Well it's too small however one reason is the mediocre fuel efficiency that Toyota should improve on as well. I was quite excited to see the Tacoma getting a hybrid powertrain until I saw the fuel efficiency ratings which hardly differ from the non hybrid. I need a vehicle with better efficiency and in turn a longer drive between fill ups!
My Prius V which is a big Prius gets consistently close to 700km between fill ups sometimes going over 700km. Now it's no Tacoma for off road however we do a lot of traveling, camping and adventuring sometimes taking the Prius V places it's barely up to and it's always done surprisingly well for what it is and that long drive between fill ups is great.
Tacoma's are plenty big enough to have increased the tank size, not decreased it!
I really was hoping to replace my Prius V with the Tacoma however this very issue along with the milage is steering me towards a RAV4 hybrid or similar.
