It was only mentioned as a practical consideration. It could be any small truck, not just a Tacoma... We owned 2 small trucks and went full size. You weigh out any purchase. If you can make a lot of money on a high mileage small truck, it may be an option as well. Our point is you pay insurance. Truck insurance is higher than our cars! Why not get the biggest bang per buck with 100 percent utility. A lot of my friends drive cars more than their truck. Go out with the family, go to dinner etc a car is easier. And it rides better. I think in your case, and not speaking with you as an expert, your truck is sentimental. Are you really selling it as there are other late model, low mileage Tacomas out there. There's sentiment and practical options for other buyers on here. They may see a viable option. Our small trucks started us off small. Meaning a few uses. We opened up a lot more functional uses going larger. Hope you get it now. We are talking trucks.

Obviously you had more than 2 people to carry, so why not take the smaller Chevrolet Volt that seats 4-5? Owning any truck (large or small) in a large metropolitan area may have drawbacks. But then you also see city buses that somehow manage. I drive mine being so familiar with its size quite easily with so much practice. And what broader streets to take. Otherwise a car works far better. I live only a few miles outside the city. I can also just take the train in the city fast and save very high parking. Leave the trucks at home.
