Last updated: October 10, 2026. This page was rewritten to correct earlier information that presented a 2025 Toyota Stout as an upcoming model.
Quick answer: There is no 2025 Toyota Stout for the U.S. market. Toyota executives have said a small pickup below the Tacoma is an opportunity, but Toyota has not confirmed one. Reports suggest it would not arrive before 2028.
What Toyota Has Said
- Toyota has said it would consider a small, rugged pickup if there is enough customer demand.
- Toyota North America CEO Tetsuo Ogawa has called a RAV4-sized pickup an opportunity and said dealers are waiting for one.
- In February 2026, Toyota Motor North America COO Mark Templin told fans and dealers to “be patient.”
- A July 2025 Automotive News report suggested a compact Toyota truck would not arrive before 2028.
Toyota has not confirmed the name “Stout” for any future U.S. truck. A trademark registration in another market does not mean a vehicle is coming.
We previously published a page that treated a 2025 Stout as an upcoming model. That was a mistake, and we have replaced it with this fact-based version.
A Short History of the Toyota Stout
The original Toyota Stout was a light pickup that Toyota sold in North America in the 1960s. It was Toyota’s first light truck in the region and helped pave the way for the Hilux.
