The Maverick apparently has poor build quality but I'm hoping Toyota comes up with a pickup using the same small footprint + bare bones + hybrid drivetrain formula.

Toyota already has the Toyota Hilux Champ @ 12k USD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hNYwTVPUkQ

The Japanese companies have been making kei trucks for 70 years. They've never been sold directly in the US and never will.

There will be no way this will be sold in the states. You would have to live in some place like Thailand or Costa Rica.

I read that as comparing it to one of Ford's cheap cars from the 70's. Which would be a low bar to meet.

I just mean poor vs trucks from Honda or Toyota. I don't know if there's anything from a US brand that has comparable build quality and engineering these days.
