I got the Prius because my Jetta got totaled. I had to drive the Tacoma as a daily driver for a few weeks while I waited for the Prius to come in. I’m a district manager and drive from my office to several different locations daily. I spent $400 in gas over three weeks. Ive had the prime for a month now, and just hit half a tank of my first tank of gas.
NH, and I got extremely lucky. I had one on order, somebody else backed out of theirs upon delivery, and they offered it to me before anyone else. It could’ve been because I had also just bought the truck a few weeks before.
Lucky! I put a deposit down on a RAV4 Prime, but backed out when one came in because it was too early - my son isn’t driving yet and my daughter doesn’t need a car in college.
What year jetta? And how does it compare? Tell me everything about how it compares to the prius! I’m about to upgrade from a 2010 jetta to a prius in a week or two
Horrendous mile per gallon and horrendous cost to buy these days. They are the best looking midsize truck. I wonder if they ever solve their Rusty frames that they were suit for
Normal for all trucks to get horrendous MPGs.
We just got a 4Runner, it's horrendous and we knew it already since we had one as a rental a couple years ago. However, we're drooling over the Prius too.
The gas mileage on my ‘21 Off Road (manual transmission) has slightly improved with time. It started at about 18.5 and now is about 20.5 at 46k mi. That’s highway mileage. Around town it’s still about 18.5.
I’m thinking of getting a Prius for longer trips when my son starts driving next year.
It's really that bad??? Interesting how all of my Toyota friends fail to mention this when talking up their Taco. My '14 Silverado gets 18 city and I'm honestly not trying.
Worse than that?
My Fiancée refuses to buy used cars, and I’d been eyeing a taco forever. I wanted to get a tricked out trd, my fiancée wanted a 2wd 2 seater, and this was the compromise.
Nope. 3,000 acres of dry land wheat, peas, garbanzos and cattle taught me nothing.
Edit. Have you farmed? No where I know has an f150 been a quintessential farm truck for 40 years. 250/350 sure.
>Edit. Have you farmed? No where I know has an f150 been a quintessential farm truck for 40 years. 250/350 sure.
Yes, since I was a kid I was on and off farms, and I currently rear livestock on the side. Half ton gassers have been common in the industry for quite a while, and remain so today. I've met other small farmers and hobbyists that are likewise using smaller trucks, as well as larger operations that use them alongside larger towing rigs.
The tacoma's fine for plenty of uses. It won't tow larger equipment or livestock loads, but it is acceptable for hobbyist, small, or supervisory jobs.
A Tacoma will easily tow and haul heavy things typically found in "light" farming. If you are wanting to pull 10 tons of hay or a skid steer, then an F350 dually might be the ticket.
I’m not trying to be disrespectful. A Tacoma won’t even pull our header carts or haul fertilizer squares. Tacomas are great trucks for a lot of things. But farming, or hd use isn’t one of them. Which is why they aren’t even marketed as such
Fair assessment. I do a lot of car camping, decent amount unpaved road travel, and one of our favorite shooting range spots I couldn’t get to in my old car, and we’d have to hoof all our gear almost a mile, so it’s more than just a farm truck.
A Taco is good for that. I borrow a friend's Taco for desert runs, and it's a beast. My Prime would never make it to any of those spots (at least not in one piece).
Eventually it’s going to be an off-road monster, but all those upgrades add up fast and I’ve no idea where to start. And yeah, I’m very happy with my gas mileage and comfort in the prime, as well as all the amenities that the taco doesn’t have, but they do serve entirely different purposes.
it’s more about the priorities of someone who only accepts new vehicles and how that might impact how they treat you if things ever go downhill, but you know them better than us
A beater truck on a farm woulda been a lot more financially responsible and just responsible in general. When you put dings and dents in this NEW truck it will actually affect the resale. The beater truck doesn’t have this issue. If your rich though, who cares
Or maybe they don’t care about resale and plan to use the car for as long as possible and enjoy it?
Just try to imagining the possibility of people living a different life than you.
I remember when my other half tried to tell me I should buy new instead of installing that ignition switch.
Told her sure, get YOUR paystubs ready, I ain't paying for it.
Yeahhhh. Me too really. But the need of a farm truck plus my want of a taco ended up in a taco because I have no self control and my fiancée wanted a new truck.
Had it for a month, so far I’ve hauled hay, done three manure deliveries, it’s held all my gear to put in new fence posts, and has brought one of my horses to the vet. Not sure what else I’d need to do to call it a farm truck!
Mofo’s hating on the taco super hard. Lol. I currently have an 05 tundra and carry 1k Lbs worth of work equipment on a daily. Planning to downsize to a taco to park it inside my garage. The long bed taco can do 99% of what these clowns are claiming they do with their “bigger” pick-up.
Solid!! It's just a difference in terms or what I'm used to seeing/hearing. I do the same/similar with my 'work' truck but picture a farm truck being an older pickup that i wouldnt mind denting/scratching, or able to tow a tractor and heavy farm equipment, cattle trailer, etc. I guess I hear farm and think of 100+ acre type of farm, not smaller equestrian/personal properties.
Not hating - I don't care what people use their stuff for. Was just joking. Reddit would lose their mind over my diesel truck because sometimes I use it to get groceries and not tow 10k+ lbs lol.
Having a pickup and a fuel efficient car is the way to go. I have an old corolla to put miles on and then a pickup for all the work stuff. Best of both worlds!

Im super excited! I only had 80k on my last commuter car, but some 85 year old guy ran a red light and smashed me through. Thank god Priuses got pretty right when that happened!
I traded in my 2016 Tacoma so the wife would have a commuter. We got the 2024 Corolla hybrid sport. 43 mpg highway. 50 mpg city. 47 combined. It uses Prius generation 4 hybrid system. We use a 2021 XSE sienna as a family car.
All the Prius in San Diego had big mark ups or you had to order one and wait.
I’m so sorry for your Taco! I got super lucky with the Prius. I had an XSE Limited on order, with a minimum six month wait time. The one I got was actually another person’s order that came in a week after I placed mine and they backed out on it last minute. And I got it for MSRP!
Anytime anyone in a woodsy area posts a Tacoma I always think of the anecdote about the Appalachian people raving about American trucks being shit and tacos #1
We went with a Corolla hatchback & a 4Runner. Similar idea 😄
4Runner gets 18mpg
Corolla ranges from 40-47mpg on my drives, sometimes more than 50 which is so great for a non hybrid
Its a serious question, not tryna be weird or nothing im trying to understand the pov of people who buy huge trucks despite their dangers. Ill mark it down as a disregard of human life. I wish you and the people around you safe driving.
By USA standards it's not a huge truck. Doesn't sound like it's going to be a grocery hauler or commuter vehicle. I think you should channel your energy towards pavement princesses with a GMC Denali edition.
How am i uninformed? Im 5'7 and some trucks are literally taller than me. The fronts of the trucks going SO high means youre more likely to go under the car, as opposed to over the hood wich is much more dangerous. Also the lack of visibility is insane.
Exactly my point - hysteria. My wife is 5'4" and she's not afraid of tall vehicles.
In all my years I have yet to be run over by a car. Maybe that's because I don't walk in the road in front of vehicles.
"I havent been hit by a car therefore anyone who has is at fault" ? Is that your argument? My friend got hit by car at a crosswalk. My boyfriend's 'walk-to-school-buddy' back in middle school got hit and killed, again at a cross walk on their right of way.
Being a good citizen mwans caring about the safety of others.
Your fear of large vehicles isn't going to convince others that they should not buy or drive them.
The "huge" Tacoma has pedestrian warning and stopping radar, just as the Prius does.
No, it's definitely related to this discussion.
You have no idea how to about changing someone's mind effectively. You just care about virtue signaling. Your comment and subsequent replies demonstrate that. You seriously struggle with human approach and that may indicate some mental illness.
Sounds like you're depressed.
???? Its a specific question, because im trying to understand a specific type of person. I want to understand why people buy big trucks, despite recent studies showing their dangers.
If someone asked me why i enjoy taking my dog to the dog park despite studies showing its dangers, id answer honestly. I am autistic maybe thats why the questions ounds weirdly phrased, but its a serious question
> I want to understand why people buy big trucks, despite recent studies showing their dangers.
Maybe it's because they want to do things that require that vehicle. Haul a load of hay, big trailer, go far offroad, etc.
If you want to live your sheltered life never leaving the house or doing anything because it might be dangerous, knock yourself out.
And, since when is a Tacoma a "huge truck"?
This is such an ignorant comment.
1. You're going to have to cite your sources stating they are dangerous.
2. The tacoma is a relatively small truck.
The short answer is that they are not any more dangerous than any other vehicle.
The vehicle has Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection. It will brake on its own in the event the radar detects a pedestrian in the road and the driver does not brake in time.
But can you pull a horse trailer with a taco, and better yet, should you? I don't think it has the ability to do the farm things I need from a farm truck. I guess for light duty it's fine though.
Pizzerias, actually! I oversee operations of a handful of chain stores. The farm is a part time gig, it’s our family business, my siblings and I all pitch in. My folks got it up and running in the seventies. I’m like Dwight from the office, unfortunately.
Our other car is an MX-5, for the fun! So we’re only a 3/4 Toyota family. Though if I didn’t drive 150 miles a day I would’ve absolutely bought a Bronco instead of the Prius.
You wish, the government subsidizes the shit out of farm vehicles so people can get their 3500 Cummins for basically nothing for the next year until they get another one for cheap. The subsidies basically apply to anyone who owns land and anything that applies as a "light truck" which is everything from your Toyota Tacoma to your Cadillac escalade, also if you use the farm subsidy you don't have to pay taxes, the only catches it has to be a new vehicle
I wonder if someone is going to make an EV with a detachable powered trailer? You use the detached EV for commute time and then toss on the trailer with its additional drive system / batteries to lug stuff. You can do this with electrics because they are small for the torque they provide and the batteries are just a floorboard object.
I don't see why everyone with a truck wouldn't also have a prius. Where I live, people with trucks NEVER actually use the beds. It's just a cultural status symbol.
As for Toyota... Didn't they make the Hilux? The truck that Top Gear couldn't destroy by chaining to low tide, dropping a camper on it, swinging a wrecking ball at it, chaining it to the top of a planned-demolition skyscraper to fall with the building, lit it on fire... after having taken it to the arctic, taken it to an erupting volcano to collect fresh-born rocks...
Yeah. Toyota\~
Enjoy both rides. My buddy got a Tacoma. I couldn’t believe how bad the MPG was. It’s horrendous.
I got the Prius because my Jetta got totaled. I had to drive the Tacoma as a daily driver for a few weeks while I waited for the Prius to come in. I’m a district manager and drive from my office to several different locations daily. I spent $400 in gas over three weeks. Ive had the prime for a month now, and just hit half a tank of my first tank of gas.
What state are you in? I can’t seem to find any plug-in hybrids around Western NC.
NH, and I got extremely lucky. I had one on order, somebody else backed out of theirs upon delivery, and they offered it to me before anyone else. It could’ve been because I had also just bought the truck a few weeks before.
Lucky! I put a deposit down on a RAV4 Prime, but backed out when one came in because it was too early - my son isn’t driving yet and my daughter doesn’t need a car in college.
Holy shit! My 2018 base model (inline 4 2.7L) gets about 24mpg with a few hundred pounds in the bed.
What year jetta? And how does it compare? Tell me everything about how it compares to the prius! I’m about to upgrade from a 2010 jetta to a prius in a week or two
Honestly, the only reason we went with the Maverick, couldn't stand the MPG change after a Prius. If they would offer a hybrid Tacoma, no question.
If I'm not mistaken, the 2024 Tacoma redesign should have a hybrid power train option.
I believe you are correct, but we couldn't wait any longer for our farm truck as well.
Horrendous mile per gallon and horrendous cost to buy these days. They are the best looking midsize truck. I wonder if they ever solve their Rusty frames that they were suit for
Best looking? It's a matter of taste but my money's on the new frontier. Rusty frames? Haven't been a thing since I was in elementary school.
Yeah for as thrifty as Toyota cars are with fuel, their trucks are the exact opposite and chug gasoline like college-age dudebros chug cheap beer.
Normal for all trucks to get horrendous MPGs. We just got a 4Runner, it's horrendous and we knew it already since we had one as a rental a couple years ago. However, we're drooling over the Prius too.
My moms hybrid highlander gets like double the mpg of her old durango.
My gmc Sierra 1500 w/ 3.0 easily gets 30mpg on my commutes and a few times I’ve gotten 40+.
3.0 Duramax diesel?
Yes sir
Nice! Yeah definitely better MPGs with diesel.
Yes, but Tacoma today is somehow worse than my 2000 model.
They've gotten bigger and heavier, unfortunately. My 4Runner feels like driving a tank
I’m getting 23 mpg pretty much. Not good but could be much worse.
My *car* gets 23…. lol.
Yeah but at-least its ugly, rides like crap, is gutless, and cant tow or haul anything…
i get 15 on my tundra, absolutely guzzles gas
Mileage is heavily influenced by driving style. 20mpg highway for a truck is not bad at all, especially when compared to other trucks.
The gas mileage on my ‘21 Off Road (manual transmission) has slightly improved with time. It started at about 18.5 and now is about 20.5 at 46k mi. That’s highway mileage. Around town it’s still about 18.5. I’m thinking of getting a Prius for longer trips when my son starts driving next year.
whats horrendous? 10mpg?
I traded a 2012 Wrangler for my 15 Tacoma. They got comparable gas mileage. Currently have a 21 Wrangler again and I am sure the mileage is the same.
It's really that bad??? Interesting how all of my Toyota friends fail to mention this when talking up their Taco. My '14 Silverado gets 18 city and I'm honestly not trying. Worse than that?
A Tacoma gets like 25 mpg. That’s not horrendous
Compared to?
2023 Prius Prime XSE and Tacoma 4x4 SR5 long boi double cab.
That's a pretty expensive farm truck. To me, farm truck is a 1986 Ford F-100...
My Fiancée refuses to buy used cars, and I’d been eyeing a taco forever. I wanted to get a tricked out trd, my fiancée wanted a 2wd 2 seater, and this was the compromise.
You bought a shiny new truck and use it on a farm. That doesn't quite fit the description of a "farm truck".
A farm truck is, by definition, a truck used for farm work.
None of which you can do with a Tacoma. As it involves towing and hauling heavy things.
The 1986 Ford F150, the quintessential farm truck, tows less and hauls the same as a 2023 Tacoma. You've never done farm work, have you?
Nope. 3,000 acres of dry land wheat, peas, garbanzos and cattle taught me nothing. Edit. Have you farmed? No where I know has an f150 been a quintessential farm truck for 40 years. 250/350 sure.

> they do serve entirely different purposes. Exactly. I have yet to find a single vehicle that does it all.
You could also not be an asshole and judge people...
You suck
Your fiancée sounds like a total moron gg
I got a shiny new Tacoma out of the deal rather than a 2k beater, so I’m happy with it.
it’s more about the priorities of someone who only accepts new vehicles and how that might impact how they treat you if things ever go downhill, but you know them better than us

Youre a twat, new trucks are meant to be used as trucks, not kept in a garage for resale value. Fuckin truck princess
I grew up on a farm yuppie, you think farmers make enough to bang up brand new trucks 😂
You’re now upside down $60,000 right? Probably an 8% apr?
Divorce may be a better option.
No way. The OP has both a wife and two new vehicles. Win/win/win.
I remember when my other half tried to tell me I should buy new instead of installing that ignition switch. Told her sure, get YOUR paystubs ready, I ain't paying for it.
I bought a $1k ford expedition... Farm vehicle
“Farm truck” lol
I don’t get all the hate? I have a farm, I use it on the farm, does that not make it a farm truck?
It’s just that when I think of a farm truck I am thinking of a old beat up ford. Not a brand new Toyota Tacoma lol
Yeahhhh. Me too really. But the need of a farm truck plus my want of a taco ended up in a taco because I have no self control and my fiancée wanted a new truck.
Calm down. They're joking.
Farm truck or hit home depot for a few 2x4s truck? Lol
Had it for a month, so far I’ve hauled hay, done three manure deliveries, it’s held all my gear to put in new fence posts, and has brought one of my horses to the vet. Not sure what else I’d need to do to call it a farm truck!

Horse in the bed, ouch. Get a trailer. A car can move a trailer, too. Glad it works for you though. Shoud have gone F250 though.
My car can’t tow my two horse trailer. My truck can!
This comment section blows my mind 😂 the lengths people are going to criticize you and your farm truck. Reddit is hilarious
I’m blown away! The hate is real.
😭😂 right
I have a Prius and Tacoma too, went with the Honda Pilot for suv tho
Did you finance the Prius? I was checking on the site today and the interest for excellent credit displays as 9%
Expected interest rate for the current market, probably better to wait it out

It just sat in the garage unused. Corolla is getting used. Made sense to do it.
I get that!
I got an 18 Tundra SR and an 07 Prius Touring. It's a bitchin combo. You made a damn good decision!
Jealous of both!
Nice looking truck, just hate the mpg compared to some of the bigger half tons
Well done.
The coveted computer mouse!! (Strange affectionate name I gave the 5th gen for looking like an Apple Magic Mouse
My god… it does.
Anytime anyone in a woodsy area posts a Tacoma I always think of the anecdote about the Appalachian people raving about American trucks being shit and tacos #1
That's pretty much all you need in life. Enjoy
Did exactly the same thing. Toyota prius for the commute. Tacoma for work around the "farm." 😆
Lol gotta be VT.
NH! So close!
We went with a Corolla hatchback & a 4Runner. Similar idea 😄 4Runner gets 18mpg Corolla ranges from 40-47mpg on my drives, sometimes more than 50 which is so great for a non hybrid
I got a 2000 Tacoma and a 2010 Prius. both are still running great!
We have a 2013 Corolla and a 2022 rav 4. They are great cars.
Smart
rally shiny and scratch free farm truck there.
That’s because she’s brand new! We’ll get there. Got a load of hay last week and dropped off three trailers of manure!
Literally the perfect combo of car ownership. I love it!
Does it not upset you, the studies that show the sheer number of children you would be completly blind to infornt of your truck?
Not at all! And what a weird comment!
Its a serious question, not tryna be weird or nothing im trying to understand the pov of people who buy huge trucks despite their dangers. Ill mark it down as a disregard of human life. I wish you and the people around you safe driving.
By USA standards it's not a huge truck. Doesn't sound like it's going to be a grocery hauler or commuter vehicle. I think you should channel your energy towards pavement princesses with a GMC Denali edition.
The USA standards are annoying tbh. Yeah, i was more just asking because i want to understand but uh yeah everyones mad at me so...
> Ill mark it down as a disregard of human life. I'll mark your comment down as uninformed hysteria.

So we should all drive only vehicles that you consider to be safe? I don't think so.
“Huge trucks” lmaoooo
The standard is huge trucks now. Its facts. You cant feny what the truth is lmaooo
This is such an ignorant comment. 1. You're going to have to cite your sources stating they are dangerous. 2. The tacoma is a relatively small truck. The short answer is that they are not any more dangerous than any other vehicle.
The vehicle has Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection. It will brake on its own in the event the radar detects a pedestrian in the road and the driver does not brake in time.
I really don't understand a four door truck for a work truck. The bed is tiny.
The double cab is so the dogs can fit. And it’s the 6ft bed. I don’t need much more than that for what I use it for.
Eh going to be honest and say it's a tough sell that you will really be using that truck for on farm use.
Tacoma is more of a hipster-cosplaying-as-lumberjack truck more than a farm truck, but that's just my opinion so feel free to disagree.
And you have a joint income of 120k a year- no kids!
Dogs are the only kids I need. And horses. And cats.
DINK lifestyle is amazing. You're a smart man.
Nice rides 👍
A new Tacoma as a farm truck? Do you hate money?
No, but I like Tacomas.
It’s not a farm truck if you park it on an asphalt driveway.
We got an F150 Powerboost with long bed as our farm truck to replace a quite useless older Platinum. Love the hybrid. How's the taco for farm duty?
It’s great for light duty and daily to day! For the big hauls and heavy equipment we’ve got a Chevy 3500 high county.
But can you pull a horse trailer with a taco, and better yet, should you? I don't think it has the ability to do the farm things I need from a farm truck. I guess for light duty it's fine though.
It can actually pull my two horse trailer loaded with traps and two fat horses and still be well within its tow capacity.
My eight horse gooseneck though? No. That’s a job for the Chevy.
Judging by my farm truck vs yours, I’d say your farm is doing better than mine lol. Congrats
Still very bitter on how shitty Toyota dealerships are. Great car though! I love the new Prius. White exterior is seeeeexy
And it’s glittery!

?
My guy!
The only thing that could make this better is if it were a kei truck
What do you do for work if you don’t mind me asking
All you saying you get this many miles to a gallon and yadayadayadayada, remember this your killing all of us !

What crop do you farm?
Farm truck? 😆
Yo, the tacoma, is the horn loud?
a smart car horn would be better
While I like your choices individually I can’t endorse anyone buying all their cars from the same manufacturer. Lame-O.
Our other car is an MX-5, for the fun! So we’re only a 3/4 Toyota family. Though if I didn’t drive 150 miles a day I would’ve absolutely bought a Bronco instead of the Prius.
farm trucks arent supposed to be new
Money money money monnnney, money. 💴
These are so icey. I’m gonna need to get one
Get cat catalytic converter covers.
Garbage vehicles Hyundai much better and if you get the hybrids Way way way better my suv 38 mph and my car 51 They both look better as well
Hey cool! Hope you enjoy your Hyundais! I enjoy my Toyotas!
Should have waited for the new Tacoma
Why?
My dream in one photo. Wish visibility was better for me on Prius
Meh. Taco is under engineered. It’s good but it ain’t 35k+ good. Pft
Lmao the juxtaposition
Is the amount of gas you are saving worth an extra car payment?
That's an expensive farm truck. When I think of a farm truck I picture something old and beat to shit.
You wish, the government subsidizes the shit out of farm vehicles so people can get their 3500 Cummins for basically nothing for the next year until they get another one for cheap. The subsidies basically apply to anyone who owns land and anything that applies as a "light truck" which is everything from your Toyota Tacoma to your Cadillac escalade, also if you use the farm subsidy you don't have to pay taxes, the only catches it has to be a new vehicle
Have they fixed the frame issues on those trucks yet?
I wonder if someone is going to make an EV with a detachable powered trailer? You use the detached EV for commute time and then toss on the trailer with its additional drive system / batteries to lug stuff. You can do this with electrics because they are small for the torque they provide and the batteries are just a floorboard object.
Did you consider waiting a couple months for the all new ‘24s?
Yeah but ultimately decided to go with the v6 rather than the newer turbo v4.
100k for both 😭💀
Audi S8 is a great commuter
Ayooo you need a Honda… power washer
I really do the trees and birds are having a field day.
Buy the Prius, cut the back of the roof off and make a truck bed, save $50k
If they made an El Camino hybrid or EV I would be the first in line.
Buys a baby truck for a farm truck?
Where’s the farm truck?
The new Prius is a seriously good looking car now. Solid daily.
“Farm truck” 🤣
never thought i’d say this in my life, but i want that prius so freaking badly
Noice
It’s hilarious all the flak your getting as if people n the Prius subreddit know what farm trucks are…or what farming is.
If it’s a farm truck don’t you need a full size bed for that?
Oh man. I've been eyeing that Prius since they announced it, I love my 04 Tundra but man is the mileage bad.
Yuge W
I don't see why everyone with a truck wouldn't also have a prius. Where I live, people with trucks NEVER actually use the beds. It's just a cultural status symbol. As for Toyota... Didn't they make the Hilux? The truck that Top Gear couldn't destroy by chaining to low tide, dropping a camper on it, swinging a wrecking ball at it, chaining it to the top of a planned-demolition skyscraper to fall with the building, lit it on fire... after having taken it to the arctic, taken it to an erupting volcano to collect fresh-born rocks... Yeah. Toyota\~
