The all-electric or hydrogen engine options are a no-go. So are the turbo options. I'd gladly accept less power to get a simple, reliable 2.0 L 4-cyl. engine, or even a 1.6L or 1.8L. I had small trucks in the past, doing construction, the occasions when I had to make extra trips were few, and as far as towing capacity goes, fit the trailer to the truck, not the other way around. Besides, the small truck market isn't a heavy-towing market.

Old compact trucks are starting to re-sell for more money today as people are getting tired of driving a monolithic sized trucks all the time. I know alot of people that would like to replace their old ford ranger or s10 with a modern truck of similar size.

All American truck companies put a Tarrif on all Japenese trucks imported into U.S because they knew Japenese trucks make higher quality than U.S and didn't want competition. Then Japanese manufacturers got smart and made their trucks here in U.S to avoid high Tarrif taxes. Which leveled the playing field.

I had a Volkswagen pickup, it was small, based off the Rabbit. Mine was a diesel and easily got 50mpg.

Toyota could probably rerelease the compact pickup from the late 80s and early 90s with the 22R engine at a low price and would sell like crazy. I still see these on the road.

I bought the Ford Maverick, Ecoboost AWD and paid $995 below MSRP. It's a solid truck and we now prefer it for our road trips. It seems that what Ford did was to create a fanbase. Competition is good and most of the Maverick owners are looking forward to the competition. It's always good to have options and over the next couple of years, there won't be any losers. They are all great, in one way or another.

I have a 2003 Baja that I got on the day they got them on the lot. Despite some minor problems, the thing runs great! I have no desire to sell it or get a new one. I LOVE it!

I owned a Mazda B2000 back in the mid- 80"s until 1999....great little p/u truck...about 35-40 mpg...it just rusted apart....the engine lived on at the local dirt race track in a guy's sprint car. He told me once ...." I just mat that thing and try to blow it up but - it just keeps on going and going." I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the life of that engine but I bought "Slick 50 " at a car show back in the 80's and used it on that engine very early in it's life. That little truck was never garaged and it was cold soaked in the North ...lots of -20 and below weather. It even blew out all the oil out of the engine once after starting on a very, very cold morning.....Got it repaired and drove it for many more years.

I had a Mazda B2000 I got when my Dad who drove it left it to me when he passed. Manual tranny and got great mileage and I sold it to some guy that worked in agriculture for the next 20 years I saw him driving around in it. Need something simple like that.

I owned an '83 VW Rabbit Pickup. The least truck of any truck, though the functional bed length was one thing that I feel still wins versus the new compact pickups. Hard to beat 45mpg too.

If the Santa Cruz is in this category then it’s not just it and the Maverick that’s only available because the Ridgeline has to be in the category as well. Earlier this summer a guy showed up to an over night trail ride in a ‘22 with 3” of lift and larger tires which I admit it gave me pause at first. However when it easily went over a few places the stock height Tacomas had to go around I was impressed. Definitely wouldn’t have been my choice of vehicle to pick but it held it’s own. With Mavericks in my area still seeing high dealer markup, it makes it the same price as the usually more expensive Ridgeline.

I still have 2011 ford ranger I-4 cycle. 157,000miles I got this good price when I bought new 2011. And now sky rocket prices. I still don’t met their budget payment.

I have a 1991 mazda b2200. I like the little truck. I do most of my errands in it and it's fun to drive even though it only has like 80hp. I really think there is a market for small trucks in America if the price is small too, and the fuel economy is good.

First car was a used Ford Ranger 2.9L V6 and that engine was rock-solid. Raced everywhere in it, so it would be cool to see more TRUE compact pick-ups come back. In the mean time, trying to secure a Tacoma for a decent price but it's impossible. If anyone has a secondary mid-sized truck to lean on, let me know! But not a fan of the rangers now.

We have a 2022 Maverick Hybrid and love it! Our average fuel economy is close to 60/40 (fuel/electric). Around Town is better on electric. Recently did a 5500 Km (3400 mile) trip and averaged 6.3 Litres per 100 km (37+ mpg) and we were loaded down with extra weight on the way home. My 2.0L Elantra would have cost more! The Maverick is great for us such as picking up some lumber, groceries, moving the odd thing here to there. My biggest complaint about the Maverick is, You buy a Hybrid (assumably) to get better mileage, right? The Maverick will not save your setting for Eco mode, you have to change it every time you drive. I do hope that these Companies follow through with more affordable trucks so people will have more options to choose from.

I purchased a new Toyota Prius back in 2010. We love that Hybrid car! I am very interested in a Hybrid compact pick up truck. I must say that being a mechanic sure helps though, I have done the head gasket, the EGR cleaning and the PCV valve in the Prius, but I still love that car!! I wonder how good that Maveric would be? I was more of a GMC kinda guy but that Maveric sure looks nice.

years ago I drove a mazda b-2000. Loved the gas mileage as a young driver. Today i would be looking at Toyota compact truck after driving my 1999 4 runner 300k miles with no major issues.

Still have a 99 sonoma 4.3 still running strong.

I just got a 1999 Toyota Tacoma SRS given to me with 113K miles on it and just drove from Cali to Washington State, beck to Cali then down to Arizona and back to Washington, and it ran like a champ! It's SO much easier to get stuff in and out of the bed then my hubby's Chevy Sierra! LOVE this thing!

My wife has a Santa Cruz Limited and she absolutely loves it. She refuses to give it up. It's a great little truck.

Thanks Scotty! Good run down of the pickup truck market. I like both Toyota and Subaru and would be interested in both a compact Toyota pickup and/or Subaru Baja / Brat (always wanted a Sub Brat and Baja. I have a couple '89 Toy 4x4 and a 4x2 pickup already :-)

And I love your videos Scotty! Thanks for all the info over the years!

What really caught my eye was the Subaru, I’d love to see a new Baja. Who knows, maybe it’ll start a new trend (or rather, revive an old one) and they’ll start importing Australian UTEs and/or bring back the El Camino and the Ranchero. Now that I’d love to see

I owned a Baja and it was awesome! Now I have a Subaru Sambar KS4 which is amazing! No, it is not fast or new, but for around town or the next town over use, it kills it! Lower bed height for easy loading, bed sides that fold down, great gas mileage, the novelty of right hand drive, and it really makes for great conversation everywhere I go. I think everyone should have a Kei truck!

I had a Chevy Luv truck in the 80's . A newish Brat in the early 90's. And I still have an 84 Brat that I have owned since 2007.

I owned a 1978 Chevy Luv and and also a 1985 Toyota 4x4 truck, definitely compact (small) trucks. I currently drive a 2018 Honda Ridgeline, by far the most comfortable truck I've ever driven. I am definitely keeping my eye on this segment.

__ Many full-size pickups today are just ridiculously tall, bulky, wide... with major blind spots all around. Road-hogging bully-mobiles basically. Compact and midsize are much more sensible. My V6 midsize is all I need.

Of course a modern version would be bigger with all the safety standards. But I would keep it as small as possible. Maybe just a 2 door version even. And market it as a compact truck. AND BY ALL MEANS bring back the inline-6 motors non turbo. It wouldn't be a family truck that you could haul a family of 6 in it either. But market it as that and make it affordable. Like 20,00ish affordable, like the Ford Maverick. It's an easy no-brainer idea. And Nissan is just setting on it.

I was in Ecuador twice this year, every day I saw Datsun trucks and coupes in traffic like GTA III spawned them.

Back when I was a college student in the late '80's, I owned a '79 Ford Courier with a 3 speed auto tranny and a 2.3 liter engine if I remember correctly. It was a good truck but wouldn't go over 65 mph. I packed all my belongings in the bed and drove it from So. Cal to northern Utah and at 65 mph on the flats, it took a long time to make the trip. Loved that little truck. Never had any issues with it.

Best truck I owned was a 79 Ford Ranger. 1/2 ton with a 302. 4 speed .Dual exhaust and headers.

I do like this video Scotty. You include all the compact trucks that I have heard of and give enough basic specs on each one. I’m really into the mileage game and I don’t tow anything with my 2021 Tacoma TRD Sport V6 so the power craze isn’t on my plate. I do need a pickup to haul things that you wouldn’t want to put in an SUV. Thanks for another informative video Scotty.

Still miss the Toyota 2200RE engine in that little 2x4 extended cab truck we bought new in 1989 and drove for over 20 years. Was soo dependable! Had to sell it because we couldn’t parts anymore new, used or otherwise in the country. Would love to see the Stout reborn but I hope it’s manufactured in Japan tbh.

As a blue oval fan, I'm glad. Bring on the competition. Maybe then, there won't be a year-long waiting list for a new Maverick, and, they won't have ridiculous markups, AND, it will motivate Ford to improve the Maverick in the next refresh.

Hey Scotty … I’m looking into a 5th wheel and wanted to know in your opinion is the best one ton truck with excellent towing capabilities. Love your vids Thanks!

Same was said years ago about the Tundra and the F-150 reigns supreme!

They don’t want to eat into their large pickup sales that have larger profit margins. That’s what’s stopping them from offering them in the US. South America is poor so they have no option in that market except small trucks.

I have a 2008 two door Tacoma. Technically has 4 seats, and the exact same bed size as a 4 door, but ends up being close to a foot shorter and so much more nimble on the trails. For a "modern" truck it's absolutely as close as you can get to a '90s Toyota.

Toyota really needs a single cab short bed 2x4 and 4x4 because itll compete against things like the 2 door jeep. Instead of buying a 50k+ ford bronco they spend 25 and have an arguably better offroad vehicle after a couple minor upgrades. Plus if they could get it in a 4 cyminder gas and hybrid option, a v6, and pergaps that cummins 2.8L??? Cummins as a 2.8L im just suprised its not in literally everything. Manuals automatics cvt i think they should make literally everything an option. Instea dof bundling in blind spit monitoring with a heated steering wheel, we gotta be able to choose one or the other or neither and i think it should be that way from the bottom trim to the top. The LE camry shpulda had the v6 option. Theyd be everywhere rn if they did

I owned a compact truck. It was a 1993 Ford Ranger Splash. I miss that black truck. I'd buy another one again. Good truck.

I almost bought a 2004 Turbo Baja... I was also looking at the Forester (more room for dogs) and not a terribly useful bed in that sucker even with the ability to get stuff in the cab. People don't realize but Chevy and Subaru had a "relationship" back then and the Baja led to the Avalanche. I really liked them as a smaller "pick up truck." The reason I looked at the 04's with a manual transmission was that was the ONLY year that Subaru used a detuned STi (WRX) engine. In later years, they used an uptuned regular engine... If Subaru does come back, they need a Turbo version. I might even reconsider... I now have a Ram 2500 6.4 Hemi primarily for towing my travel trailer, transfer station duty and some light off roading more than my daily driver Renegade... If the right small pick up comes available, I'll likely jump as I can then do the transfer station duty with that and even less the 2500 which is a wonderful truck for my needs maybe not everyone's, but it is a beast of a vehicle and NOT a daily driver and sucks gas like it costs nothing.

@Pesticide00 Unfortunately, These so called small trucks are based on unibody car platforms and therefore not as rugged as the original small trucks which were body on frame chassis. Therefore they can't carry or tow as much.

I like my Maverick. Due to an aggressive dealer promo in Iowa, I have about $24k in an AWD XL ECO w/ tow pckg. I'm consistently getting 27+ mpg and can tow up to 5000 lbs.

Problem is most of what this guy says is taken with a grain of salt

I own an '89 Suzuki Carry (a kei truck). It's awesome 👍🏻 Did you know?... the EPA bases fuel economy standards based on wheelbase. This is why trucks have gotten bigger, the bigger the wheelbase the lower the allowable standards. Write your rep and tell them to change this.

I had a '79 Ford Courier, all Mazda except the Ford lettering on the tailgate. It had 240k miles on it when I sold it, but still ran great. I also had a '89 S10 with the 4cyl. I sold that to my son, bought it back, and drove it for 12 years total. We only replaced the water pump and brakes. It still had the factory clutch AR 230k miles. Loved that little truck!

Nice edits 👌🏼

Nooice! 😎 STOC i thoroughly enjoyed my 1985 Nissan King Cab 4x4 back in the day. Fun offroad and hauled like a mule. Miss that truch.

I've seen the renderings of the Toyota where they took a RAV4 and converted the rear to a small pickup bed. Seeing as how I am a RAV fan I found it to be quite attractive. I guess the Stout could grow on me if the price is right. The prospect of a KIA is interesting as well. In my area I see alot of Mavericks but Hyundai Santa Cruz sightings are few and far between.

Can any of the OEM’s go back in their catalogs to the late 80’s & early 90’s and give me a standard cab truck with a bed that is actually usable (the current offerings are barely big enough to carry some groceries)? Pair that with an in line 4 cylinder and 5 or 6 speed manual and I’m a buyer!
