Toyota trucks are mostly assembled in the US. Meanwhile the US manufacturers are selling off to foreign companies. I will agree the other trucks look better, in my opinion on tacoma is one of the worst looking trucks. I bought it because I wanted a toyota and I wanted rear-wheel-drive. I've never been a truck person, but I got tired of tearing up sports cars after 80K miles. 248K later my taco is still trucking, even though it's beend driven like a sports car the whole time.
