I have an 8,000 pound boat that takes a big truck to get up the boat ramp.
Yaris=daily driver
Truck=weekend boat hauler

You are the minority. So many people drive the big trucks, yet they somehow never get dirty or scratched up.

There are people that need heavy duty trucks that can tow and there are people that would love to see a 40 mpg diesel truck that might not mind making multiple trips to get the job done.

+1 . A small hybrid P.U. that managed to get 35 + miles per gallon be a good thing as well . Would trade in one of the YARII in a split second .
