    Not directly but I’ve had two 1/2 tons. The Taco is much easier to maneuver in parking lots and a boatload more fun to drive than the F150 I had.

    My son is 5’9” and he rode for an hour in the back of the Tacoma recently and said it was plenty comfortable. I didn’t have my seat all the way back but it was in my normal driving position. It’s all a matter of perspective. Saying the back seat of this truck is useless is just ridiculous. It’s better than most of the sedans I’ve owned. Anyone been in the back seat of a B210 or a Tercel?

    No one said it was useless, but its far from ideal, its basically the same dimension since 2005, its better than the ranger sure and others in the segment, but its far from comfortable especially in comparison to a fullsize or even a gladiator which has 6 extra inches of leg room, sure in comparison to a compact truck or car which you alluded to ya its better, but having a few kids out of car seats on the regular, there are better less cramped options, Tacoma excels in alot of areas, rear seat room/comfort is not one, but then again there is no perfect vehicle out there either, gotta weigh needs/important aspects.

    Maybe so but I mean side to side . Like three people in the back seat.

    Oh ya, for sure, shoulder wise Tacoma wins, the "third passenger seat" in the Wrangler is basically a large arm rest, but that narrow cabin allows for easier navigation on tight trails, so its a give and take.

    That’s where it counts for us . My wife and I my two sons and my uncle that now lives with us . We’re all short lol . Just enough room in the Tacoma. If we were tall though it would be a no go .

    Only 4 of us now at any given time and besides mom we are all 5'11-6'2 so I get complaints about road trips and the Taco sometimes. But I still love it and don't really care about extra leg room for my passengers over all the other features, wasn't any of the primary reasons I bought it.

    I’ve had mine for 4 years and 50k miles and I just love it.
    No problems just joy.
    Don’t let the smitty99s (complainers) of TW take away from that.

    Doesn't seem appropriate, all he had was a spacer lift, 265/75R16s, and a bed rack on a 4cyl lol

    Nothing but good things to say about mine. I have it a year and a half. 18 k miles still feels brand new .

    IDK, mine is just like it came from the factory, I’m happy. I can’t imagine I’d like it much without wheels and tires though. Do you just have it on blocks or jack stands?
