Toyota builds pretty inefficient v6 and v8 engines last time I looked into it, but they’re very reliable.
Kia does not have that reliability record. I’m not sure that the Toyota buyer is going to consider KIA, even with hybrid drivetrains.
Tacoma has a turbo 4 now and it’s not much more efficient and less reliable.
