Toyota Stout: All-New $20K Pickup Truck

Toyota has confirmed they are looking into producing an all-new compact pickup truck. It is believed the truck may be called, "Stout". The Toyota Stout would compete with the Ford Maverick and Hyundai Santa Cruz pickup trucks.

20K price range would be a prime move. Especially with how the economy is shaping.

0% chance this sells for what it is supposed to sell for. These dealers have lost their minds with crazy mark ups!

30 years ago, stuff got built and moved before trucks became 4 door luxury monsters with 1, 000 pound feet of torque. Campers didn't need 20, 000 pound trailers to get away from it all. We have bloated ourselves into truck and RV oblivion. It is good to see a segment of the market coming to it's senses.

Toyota... wanna really do something amazing? Make a full size truck, give it power and towing, and 4x4, but... here's the difference... DON'T MAKE IT A LUXURY TRUCK. And sell it for 40k. You'll win the market overnight.

I remember buying my brand new Toyota 4x4 truck back in 1983.
It was fully loaded, had the SR5 package, chrome package, and also an aftermarket fiberglass camper shell.
It was just barely under $14, 000 out the door, including tax, license and registration fees.
Boy, those were the days.

$20k msrp with a $25k markup. $49, 995 TTL.

I think if these companies actually listened to what their customers want, they would have figured out by now that a small pick up is what we’ve always wanted, no surprise to me they’re selling so well, it’s what we’ve always wanted !

So happy to see that smaller trucks are finally making a come back. Full sized trucks are not for everybody & they are very pricey. I remember growing up in the 1980's. My dad was a bricklayer and he owned a chevy luv pickup truck. It was plenty of truck to haul all his needed tools to each jobsite and we often performed side jobs on weekends with it too. 😊

I would love one in a 4 cylinder 5 speed!

I have never been so excited about a possible small truck from Toyota. My 1st vehicle was a small regular cab, not extended cab & not extra cab but just regular. It could seat 2 people comfortably & that’s all I needed. I loved that truck….

[KidJaeProductions]

I’m so happy to see Toyota bringing in a new compact truck. That’s dope. What else excites me is the fact that they’ll definitely consider a rugged body-on-frame compact. If they did that, I’m definitely gonna put in an order for the Stout 🔥

ive been in the car business for 20 years and it made absolutely no sense for manufacturers to stop making small trucks like the s10, ranger and original tacoma. Alot of people love the small trucks to be able to reach into the bed, carry mulch, pool supplies etc. I had the toyota sr5, actually 3 of them and loved them. Would have bought another but the prices they were charging was the same price as the full size and the gas mileage was the same. Stop making the truck to tow with cause that is what kills the mpg. Make a simple truck, we dont need four doors since no one ever sits in the back of them, just make a regular cab but make the bed where you can put a sheet of plywood between the wheel wells, and keep the price down and you will not be able to make enough of them.

Make it a regular cab long box 4x4 with the shifter on the floor and lock out hubs with a manual transmission and keep the big tech out i think they would sell quite well.

MY 63 RANCHERO IS ONE OFTHE 1ST COMPACT PICKUPS, IT WAS $1932 ON THE WINDOW STICKER, IT
JUST TURNED 60 YRS OLD, IT HAS 206, 000 MILES ON THE ODO, STILL RUNS LIKE NEW. I THINK I'LL KEEP IT.
EVERYONE LOVES IT. THE LITTLE 260 ENGINES SOUNDS GREAT. FORD BUILDS TOUGH TRUCKS.

[ancientheart]

I'm on my third Ford Ranger; a low mile 2010 4x4 Sport w/ 5spd. 4.0.
Excellent garage kept condition w/42k miles when I bought it three years ago.
Sitting at 57k miles now, it is worth more than I paid then.

I grew up driving Chevy S-10s. I bought a 2017 GMC Canyon and wished there was something smaller. Happy to see Toyota bringing it back. Hopefully GM will follow.

[thechuckster]

Toyota took a perfectly good compact pickup truck and increased it in size and in cost and it's not ideal for most people looking for a small size, reliable truck that they can drive for 200K miles with 4WD. My old 1989 truck was great in fuel economy and reliability. I owned it for 25 years, and I'd buy another one and trade in my 2021 Tacoma.

[j.u.c.o]

The whole thing manufacturers miss is that it's not cost alone that people don't like about full size. A smaller, more manageable (easier to park & maneuver) truck is more enjoyable to drive for many people. Not all of us are over 6' 250 lbs. Average male height in U.S. is 5'9" .

Just a bit of a correction:
The Ford Ranger and Chevy Colorado were not fully discontinued. They only left North America for a brief period in the 2010s. The T6 Ford Ranger (the most recent generation) was conceived by Ford Australia in 2011 and sold worldwide (minus North American markets until 2019). The Chevrolet Colorado was in a similar situation, except it returned only after 2 years of discontinuation.

i am happy to hear the compact or mono trucks are making a comeback. however i would prefer a regular cab and 6 ft bed to make it more useful to rural area buyers.
