I read a short article in a 4WD magazine a couple of weeks ago that was called "Bring back the Mini's" and it is spot on how I feel about it. Basically it said that all of the "compact" sized pickups these days are what the old full sized trucks used to be. 4 doors, 6 foot bed, etc. I know most of us like the addition of a backseat, but if someone put out a reliable 4WD compact pickup then they would sell like crazy. Think of the old S10, Dakota, Ranger, original Tacomas. Those were all over the school parking lot in high school. We wheeled them like crazy, they rarely gave us any trouble. Edit: it also talked about MSRP. The 2015 Tacoma starts at $21k, but decently equipped it is closer to $30k.

I'll look at them. I have no need for a full size truck. But I was hoping they would get back to the 1st gen Tacoma in terms of size and styling. I just want an extended cab, 4x4. I could care less about 4 doors, backup cameras, etc.

My loaded 04 4wd with every option was $24k. My 99 single cab 5spd 4wd with the A/C option was $15k.

Base model now is $21k? Nobody should buy them for that price. I think I might pay $18k for a base, but no higher. Couldn't bring myself to spend $30k on a Tacoma either, that's just wrong
