Why are access cabs so hard to find?

I wish they made an access cab short bed on a standard cab frame. Would be great for off road camping with a shell and RTT.

Possible to build one, but you have to combine essentially 3 trucks to make it.

 

That’s a whole lot of BS without a hint of data or evidence.

IF you use your truck as a minivan the AC is not practical like you claim. For many of us our trucks aren’t people movers and the rear seats never get used. So since our needs are different than you having a smaller bed is impractical in trade for a larger rear passenger area what we don’t need or want.

Arguing the used vehicle buyer wants X and the new buyer wants Y? Show at least one piece of information other than your opinion to back up this claim. I came from a crew cab 3/4T truck and used my rear seats exactly 3 times in 6 years. It collected junk. Made more sense to get a longer bed than seats I will never use. My 3 year old fits just fine in the Access Cab for the rare occasions we don’t take our family car.

 

Access cab FTW. I don't want to haul people around. I'm 6'2" and I can sleep in the bed.

 

Try looking for a regular cab.

I had a regular cab S15 for a number of years and decided I wanted to replace it with an AC for ease of securing gear that I use regularly, keeping certain items dry, etc.

Jumpseats work fine for a couple of grands (for now, for short trips). Once they are too big I'll likely convert the space with the seatless utility package.

 

I have a 15 DC and the rear seats hardly get used. Well, for sitting anyway.

 

Because car-seat.

 

Canada has the only worthwhile access cab and you all know it. TRD Offroad MT.

That's where I found my Access Cab

 

Don't be afraid to do a nationwide search and fly out. I've done that a few times. Road trip back is usually pretty awesome.

 

I had a full size Graco in mine for an airport run. It had to be rotated to the most upright setting, but there was plenty of room for both the kid and the dad in the passenger seat.

There are some car seats bigger than that one in another thread.

 

hell yeah

 

You can just put an ext cab on a regular cab frame, then do a flat bed. That would be a very cool set up, I think.

 

Your feets must be just touching the tailgate.

 

Real men need a step like that to get into a stock Tacoma?

 

Gotta take my shoes off lol. It works though

 

Nope! My 5'2" wife does and I wouldn't mess with her if I were you!!!

 

Mine is vertically challenged as well Feisty they are!

 

I'm in the same boat. Nobody will ever sit in AC except maybe my dog. Gotta have the longer bed. I wish Toyota offered removable. Subaru "Brat" seats for the bed. If I need extra people hauling room they can gitty up in the back.

 

I'm 6'2" weigh in at 300 lbs, have faced bears in the woods and nothing scares me like when that short little female is mad at me!
