    I guess I better hang on to my TRD OR AC MT. They are/were? only available in Canada, so a very small market. It makes me wonder why Toyota even bothered. Toyota does weird stuff.

    I hope they’ll be around in the future. I love my Access Cab. I’ve never liked the look of 4 door trucks ever since they started making them. I know they’re popular, but I still think they look weird. An extended cab and long bed is my perfect combo. I just hope they’re still around in a decade or two when it’s time to replace my ‘21.

    If we had no kids, the wife and I would have another AC Toyota truck. Just like our 1992 we had for 14 years.

    The vast majority of sales are Double Cabs. This is part of the "adventure vehicle" craze, plus people wanting SUVs with beds.

    Makes no sense for them to offer that configuration in Canada but not in the USA.

    Good call!

    We had a 2003 Honda Pilot for our 2 kids and it worked out great! (July 2002-Oct 2018)

    That's probably why I have a DCSB/AT...same as my Pilot...but now, it's a TRUCK!

    Woohoo!

    And more importantly room for the dog still! Although in my DC I have the seat so far back no one can sit behind me but my big dog regardless.

    And while they (full size owners) complain for lack of space in the DC Tacoma.

    I walked into a dealer on a Wednesday. They accepted my offer. They shipped in the vehicle the next day. Picked up Friday afternoon. Was in the right place at the right time. Hard to find long bed MT trucks for sure.

    All I know it couldn't be any harder to find an access cab sr5 in the color quicksand with a v6 when I had to order one back in 2020. There wasn't a single one east of the Mississippi. even without most the options I wanted. To this day I have not seen another of the same year trim truck on the roads.

    Hopefully they make a Single cab that is the size of the AC, but just 2 doors, no half doors. No back seats either, just indoor storage for all my stuff. Im all for no more AC.

    I like having the back doors, as they make accessing stuff in the back easy, such as my fridge and when my dogs are in back. (I removed the seats.)

    Love the 6 foot bed - we haul a lot of lumber for outdoor projects and such, garden soil etc.

    Life begins when the kids move out and the pets die - ... - still waiting on Part II of that equation -
    It's just me 99% of the time occasionally the wife will hop in for a trip here or there, I love this truck.

    I'd give up a little space in the AC for a longer bed.
