ICE Tacoma makes sense given your desire for Buy It For Life, electronics modifications, pickup truck, and cost.
I am poking around with the Toyota builder, I have until Tuesday to change my mind :happy
edit: spec'd out as I'd like the Toyota comes to $36.5k, I'll see if my local Toyota dealer has something I can look at on Monday.
As for fuel efficiency, I think the Tacoma does have start-stop technology so you may get some fuel savings that way with long idle periods. The advantages of start-stop are debated but if you have multiple 1+ minute waits at lights on your commute I think it would be more advantageous than if you mostly sailed through. You can buy a lot of gas for $8K. Check inventory levels on the Tacoma, you might be negotiating below MSRP. My closest Toyota dealer has 40 ICE Tundra in their inventory.
