Woah. Regardless of the "bucket of cold water" on Kim's part towards Liz for the latter's request about the pickup truck seen here, I must say that the level of detail in that pickup truck is just astounding; amazing work by the way. XD
Leaving the above aside, I must add that Liz, in this scene, still looks cute, sexy and lovely overall. <3

When the Tacoma first came out it was kinda a local joke to the surrounding communities around the City of Tacoma. Tacoma was known for the "Tacoma Aroma" it used to stink sooooo bad (due to a pulp paper mill in the area) Also known for high crime, and being generally a dangerous and run-down town. That Toyata would name its then new truck after Tacoma really was a puzzling choice for nearby residents 'Your naming your new truck after a smelly rundown city?!? Ooookay not good marketing in our opinion'. (I lived a few miles from Tacoma's northern border).
Anyway, beyond that bit of history. Ya did a beautiful job of rendering that truck (That has long since redeemed its sour marketing)

It's the CAFE fuel economy regulations that require pickups and SUVs to be made larger and larger. They are based on vehicle footprint, so my little 2003 S10 would have to get over 40 MPG to be sold as a new vehicle today. (Not gonna happen for something with the aerodynamics of a brick.) While 15 MPG pickups are fine as long as the footprint is large enough. Those rules should be scrapped, as they've been completely counterproductive.
Funnily enough your S10 would get 40-ish to a gallon if it had a 2.5-3 liter mechanically injected turbodiesel mated to a 5spd stick. It is pretty small and light, after all..Not the most aerodynamic thing on four wheels but if a cummins ram can average 25mpg unloaded a diesel manual 2003 S10 would get 40.
