Toyota and Nissan are very much not known for their trucks here, it's mostly sedans.
Which are ALSO giant and shitty.
Tacoma is a huge culture. The reason why they get stolen so much is they have such a good reputation in Africa and Eastern Europe. No one stealing an F150 to sell abroad.
What? The Tacoma is an incredibly popular truck. If you go to Texas you'll see all kinds of "Texas Edition" Toyota trucks.
America is a big place with different cultural experiences within it.
Tacomas are so popular their even in pop culture. They're also huge in the overlanding community.
Tacoma's are popular in Texas because they're made in Texas, it's very much a regional thing. In the US overall the Tacoma(274,638) is the 5th best selling pick-up, being out sold by the GMC Sierra(356,218) in 4th. Tacoma was also out sold by the Camry(316,185) it really depends on what part of the country your in.
I mean, I'm in Wisconsin and knew it was popular and knew it was popular in Texas... Fifth best selling out of 11 trucks that I can think of off the top of my head means it's more popular than most trucks.
The person above said Toyota was known for sedans, you disagreed. I'm saying you're both right depending on where you are. Here in NYC its all CUVs, Camrys, Corollas, and Prius. Other parts of the country it's mostly Tacomas and Tundras.
Woah, I didn't disagree with that. I only disagreed with Tacomas not being popular.
Exactly which sedans are giant and\or shitty? Is it the Prius? Like the one I have that still runs great after nearly 300,000 miles? Or maybe the Corolla that's probably the most famously well known reliable long term sedan to ever exist?
