You can install whatever you'd like. My 2002 Tacoma has an electric pump. It is in the locker next to the water heater (if you have one??).

You can install a nice faucet from Home Depot. Just make sure that it doesn't stick up too high. If it does, it will hit the floor when you turn the galley over. I am thinking of installing this one on mine. I think that the neck unscrews:

Type 100091012 in the "Search" box at the top of the page.

If you'd like to go to a hand pump, you can pick them up at most marine or RV stores.

Here are some manual ones but they are more $ than electric:

My experience with the hand pumps was not very good.  They always seemed to splatter water badly.  That may have been my pump.  I purchased the small Shurflo pump and it really is nice.  Open the faucet and water runs.  Cost was around $80, but worth every penny to me.
