To my knowledge this is still the only EV pickup with just two seats yet it still only has the same size bed as a full-size pickup with crew cab. Apparently not even the new Hilux EV is available with a short cab and a 180cm (6ft) bed which is insane. I get that most people buy these as family vehicles and the demand for an actual work truck is lower but come on, it's a pickup truck for crying out loud.

    The bed is only 5’. Any truck that actually gets used as a truck will be 6’ (which will be 8’ with the tailgate down) or 8’.

    It can be converted to a small SUV with an extra kit from the factory, so it can accommodate more passengers if needed.
