Toyota bare bones truck

It's a shame it has to look stupid, if they would have just made the cab look like a SR5, first or second gen Tacoma or even a T100 everyone would want one!
 
GM has the W/T that are real cheap .
I wish they would go back to order your options rubber floor mat AC manual windows no radio I'm done
 
Looks like they don't subsidize the EV market in other countries.
 
That Toyota will never pass our crash standards or emission regulations which add a lot to the cost of a vehicle. Then it doesn’t have ABS brakes.

I’ve Federalized expensive vehicles before and there’s a lot involved to import a vehicle. Back then you were allowed to import one vehicle without it meeting emission regulations, I don’t know if you can still do that.

If it has A/C I’m good, power windows and locks are nice. My beater I drive 90%+ of the time is a 2006 Ranger, it’s simple no fancy stuff, it has ice cold A/C, AM/FM radio and manual windows and get decent mileage. Also it dependable, not much to go wrong with it and I’ll drive it anywhere.

Just think of all those expensive navigation systems in 10 year old vehicles that are useless today because they aren’t supported today. Here’s an example, my brother has a 2014 CTSV, it has a 2G system and it’s completely worthless today.
My wife’s Jeep has a navigation system that’s worthless today.
Those navigation systems were expensive options back then.

Wife's MDX system is updated via CD. I doubt it is supported any longer.
It still works ok, but the phone is way better and everyone owns one already.

Our 2019 Audi Q5 we bought (used dealer loaner) had navigation. Fortunately it also had Apple CarPlay. We use Apple Maps with it exclusively; it shows up on the car’s display. It’s tons better than the built in navigation system and costs nothing to keep it up to date.
 
This is appealing to me in theory for a swap donor for my '94 Toyota truck. I could buy that little guy new, swap the powertrain ecm and wiring harness into my truck and be good for another 30 years. My truck is solid and dependable as it is, but old wiring and electronics are finicky at times and brittle to come apart. Of course I'd rather have a cool, more powerful engine but this would definitely do, it would satisfy the emissions police, still get good mileage and be easy to find parts for.
