Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh if we were allowed to have the Toyota Hilux here I'd buy one immediately. Fucking closest to a truck I "like" is a Ford Maverick because it's a "smaller truck"...

But they ONLY come in crew cab. For fucks sake I want a standard cab full size small pickup truck about the size of a HIlux or a ranger from the 90s. And frankly if they made one a hybrid I'd have a dream car, but hell I'd take a 4 cylinder. But nope. Around here they're the shortest fucking bed for the biggest fucking motor that's effectively an SUV that is somehow MORE useless because the wall between the bed and the cab means I can't lay seats down. A fucking mini-van is a better truck in the US.

I apologize... this is an angry angry rant I have to do like once every other week...

You can arrange to import one. The US has a 25 year ban on cars that weren't available originally. When it gets to the US modify to your liking and cop friendly nods from car guys who'll appreciate the effort
