    Hi all, I'm new here. I have a 2017 4Runner ORP and I'm looking to add a Tacoma in a few months.

    I did do a search, but I may have worded the query incorrectly.
    I'm looking to buy an Off Road Access Cab w/ LB.

    When I go to the Toyota website for 2019, limited colors and no packages are available for the Off Road ACLB.
    Ideally, my build would be Super White or Cement W/ the Leather Premium package and color keyed bumper.

    However, when I build the Off Road DCSB, I get all the color choices and leather/ premium packages on some colors.

    I know Toyota is obsessive about manufacturing efficiency; are these available options for the DCSB only because it's piggy backing off the TRD PRO when it comes down the line?

    As the new model year progresses, will the packages and colors open up on the ACLB?

    What has everyone found to be the case when it comes to options for the new model year?

    Great forum, I'm already spending money for mods in my head for a truck I have yet to buy.

    Thanks again!

    I think leather is only available on the double cabs

    You can go the katskinz (is that how you spell it?) route and do leather after your purchased it. Thats how the 16-17 guys got leather seats.

    Toyota only shows already built vehicles on their configurator, and ones that are in stock or on their way near you. It’s pretty ridiculous but that’s how they do it. All the packages, colors, options that are allowed on each trim line are “available” from the start, but you either have to have a dealer change one of their already allocated vehicles to fit your needs (what I did), or wait for one to be available.

    Can't get leather on an access cab, but white should be available no problem.

    Double cabs get leather as part of the premium package along with the other goodies.

    Thanks, I figure that would be the route I would take.

    Very strange, but not surprising and helps explain the Toyota website 'configurator'.

    Thanks, it's strange that white was unavailable, but as eMKay mentioned, that color probably just isn't in stock right now for my region.

    Bummer.

    Thanks for the replies, and maybe you can help with more feedback.

    I have the 4Runner that I'm keeping for hauling friends etc. which is why I'm leaning toward the Access Cab with the 6 foot bed.
    However, there are a lot more DCSB with different available options.
    Do you find the 5 foot bed being too short?

    Has anyone found that different Toyota regions offer different packages and combos?
    I can fly anywhere and drive back if I needed too.

    Option packages and combos offered are consistent across Toyota.
    You can order a 'bed extender' which allows use of the tailgate that offers some relief from the short 5' bed.

    The extra foot really doesn't make a difference in my book. But I have tool box that takes up 18 inches so now I have a 3-1/2' bed which is a pain sometimes so a long bed whould have been the smart choice for me
