>Tacoma fills this niche
...at roughly the same price as a full size truck which is pretty much a non-starter for anyone who cares.
The Colorado actually fills that niche at an acceptable price poiont.
The Tacoma costs what a fullsize truck does and you buy one if you don't want a half ton for image reasons but also won't buy domestic because that's what upper middle class people have been trained not to do.

People buy full size trucks because if they did their "once a month max usage" routine with a smaller truck you would be chastising them for "being unsafe" instead.
