Exclusively made in Mexico apparently ...  

FWIW ... My Tacoma was made in 'Texas'. 

Ah ... Pre 2022 ...

If I were to ever want a pickup truck, it would be a Tacoma.

And ... I think this thread/subject (GasBuddy) has lost it way - LOL

Yes, they seem to assemble a lot of vehicles there, I wonder why?  

Being nearly 100% non-USA made would be a definite plus for me. My nephew has owned an F150 and a Sierra. The Tacoma is his favourite ...

So now it's Your Turn . . .

Q1> Why would you be concerned about the vehicle I drive?!

Q2> Do you Really need the vehicle that You drive ... and why?

Let's see where this goes

I asked as I see less and less sedans on the road but more and more trucks and SUVs in urban areas. I guess brainwashing that these boxes are 'safe' works well on Canadians.

A#1 - I am not. Those boxes are terrible gas guzzlers and useless in urban environment same as SUVs where maybe, just maybe 1% of owners ever go to ride off the road. But ego and show off is stronger than a reason.
You could save all gas money if you bough teslasht truck. 'Amazing' POS product but that is just my opinion.

A#2 Yes, I do. We like to be independent and very often make daily trips exploring our province. You cannot do that with uber, taxi or share ride. Besides it helps with doctor appointments and similar must-to-do activities.

P.S. I though you are retired... not working anymore...

Do you Really need a truck?  

Hmmm ... an unusual, unrelated question!
But OK, I'll play along . . .

Short answer: 'Yes'

Long answer: My work & business requires the daily use of a mid-sized pickup truck (for hauling, towing, etc.) ... hence the Toyota Tacoma I mentioned above in Post #11. It also often gets used as a pickup truck on the weekends & holidays, for similar reasons.

Ka-Ching❗

Using GasBuddy, I just saved ~$11 gassing up my Tacoma while driving through one of our local towns. The other two town's gas prices were
over 14¢/L more !

In spite of it's one or two small shortcomings (which don't bother most folks), GasBuddy can be quite handy. You can save a few $s along the way . . .
and it's 'Free'.

It all depends on other driver's honesty. Some report false prices or just confirm whatever somebody 'reported' before. Just to get useless points and have high rank on useless leaderboard.  

Kinda like made-up stuff on social media to earn click $ ...
