Two trips from my old home to my new, decided it for me. The truck was roomier, of course; going east, empty, I saved hotel money by setting up my Kamp-Rite cot/tent in the back at rest areas.

Coming back: Towing my 700-lb motorcycle trailer (total weight of the towed unit) the Yaris bogged down. Had to run it it "3" and the gas mileage was about 22. Not a good trip; watching speed and hoping nothing overheated (didn't).

Pulling a much-larger U-Haul with the Tacoma ALSO got me 22 mpg. Easier trip and took a lot more on the second trip, of course.

At my new home: trip to work is four miles; so gas mileage isn't critical. Avoiding depreciation is much more attractive.

Yup, it's for sale.
