Doublecab, Shortbox, Automatic

Has this truck ever been available?

It is my understanding that you've always had to get a manual transmission to get the doublecab with a shortbox.

There is a dealer in my area advertising a Doublecab, shortbox, automatic. I'm going to call them tomorrow, but here's a couple pics

 

i have one, there should be plenty around

 

I wish!

We just need to trade places. Over in Southern California I'm having a hard time finding one in manual.

 

Mine must be a "special edition", like a Tacoma SS or maybe a GT.

 

All of the shortbox doublecabs i've peered in around here are manual tranny. If you go on toyota's website and build an 09, you can only get the auto with the long bed and the manual with the short bed only.

 

Are you talking ever???? I have a 2005 DC 4X4 short box with automatic

 

Here in the States:
double cab "long bed" - auto only
double cab short bed - auto or manual

 

I have an 08 Double Cab Shortbed Automatic, they are a dime a dozen around here.

 

When I was at the dealer, all the DC's i saw were shortbed automatics

 

i think i figured it out. I think for Canada, it was

Doublecab shortbox - Manual only
Doublecab longbox - Auto only

This truck is being sold by a canadian dealer, but a US truck.

 

I wish. Then I'd have one already.

 

They didnt have any manuals when I got mine in Northern California, I guess they are hard to come by here. Thats probably just what they told me to sell me what they had. At the time I wanted an automatic because I was sick of the manual in my s-10. Now that I have had it for a while I really wish I had a manual. I drove this girls manual and I really missed my old manual.

 

I have never owned an automatic and I don't plan on owning an automatic any time soon.

 

I bought one like in the pic back in Jan. it's an auto, dbl cab, sb.

 

This shortage of manual DC SB's was probably because of Canadian stock.

 

The dealerships just need to make some swaps in inventory.

Then one lucky Canadian dealership will make a sale from you.
And one lucky SoCal dealership will make a sale from me.

 

After driving my 5 spd 96 Tacoma for 327,000 miles I was more than ready for an automatic.

 

no doubt

 

Ya, both the trucks I owned before this were manual, I was ready for an auto, but where I work I have to go over two summits so its a lot of downhill and I really miss the manual for that type of driving.
