This can fun a fun and practical vehicle, and it has a lot nifty solutions, and should serve sub(urban) life well.

but if you really need a pickup truck, this cannot compare to a Tacoma

That said I dont think anyone buying a Tacoma will be tempted by this vehicle, and I dont think the buyers of the MT1 will be comparison checking the Tacoma either.

Separate markets the way I see it, as do they

""EV pickup for urban living and weekend adventuring""

So why the comparison?

Can you elaborate? This has the same bed size, same crew capacity and greater horsepower than a tacoma.

In my experience (US), the Tacoma is often the first vehicle that comes to people’s minds when they think of a small pickup truck.

Part of the problem, of course, is that the Tacoma is no longer even remotely small.

I really want a modern version of a mid-90s Tacoma.

		It wouldn't cost much less than the big Tacoma, so it would simply not sell (like this won't sell).
