Comparing 2016 to 2024 Tacoma Sales - First Year Generation Sales, 3G Vs. 4G

What was Toyota thinking with putting an 18 gallon tank in the 4th gen Tacoma?? My wife's EV has more range than the Tacoma does on a full tank as I can't get more than 280 miles on a tank. I do mostly city driving with some highway but still even the 4Runner I had before would go nearly 340 miles on a tank. I wish I had known this about the Tacoma before I leased it. I may be reconsidering the option to purchase this once the lease is up and may go to a used 3rd gen Tacoma or a Colorado new or used.

Some relevant information, especially for those knocking the new trucks and/or saying Toyota's sales are not doing good...

In 2016, the first year for the 3rd Gen Tacoma, they sold approximately 180,000 trucks. The latest data for the 2024, is about 170,000 trucks year to date. And we still have a few weeks left.

This means that the 4G, even though more expensive, has effectively had the same success in launching as did the 3G. Something to think about. Toyota seems to be going strong and I assume these numbers will continue to ramp up in subsequent years, as they have historically.
