Toyota Trucks are awesome 4x4's, but why bigger?

Toyota has become a branding with a true cult following. Have you ever heard anyone who has owned a Toyota ever say they were not a Toyota fan? Very very rarely if ever. That is amazing. Yet, while I admit I am a true die hard Toyota fan, I am continually disappointed in where Toyota is headed. Why is bigger better? OK, I admit the old 20R 4 cylinder motors were a wee bit gutless, especially here at 9100 feet above sea level in Colorado, and the 22R motors were not much peppier. On the other hand, a 20R is all but bulletproof, and accept for the 22R's timechain issue, they too were super solid. Yes, I love my 2000 Toyota Tacoma. It is comfortable and the 2.7 liter engine is a fine powerplant. My issue is that now that I am shopping for another Toyota Tacoma, I have to go back prior to 2004 to find the body style I desire. I also am not interested in extended cab pickups or four door crew cabs. I jsut want a Toyota 4x4 pickup with two doors and four cylinders.
