Is the access cab big enough?

    I don't know how the center console would fit your plans, it would not fit mine.

    the 05-08 are good as the back seats fold flat and create a larger area back there. Don't think the new ones do that, but a blanket in the bed is better anyways.

    I can only vouch for DC's. Push the front seats all the way up and you can easily tag a 300lber. LOL, JK...or am I?

    There's only a small storage space in the access, under the left rear seat. You'd only be able to keep a small assortment of lubes, a pair of handcuffs, and her favorite small/medium rubber penis. If you need more storage, go double cab...

    On a serious note, why would anyone consider an access cab when the double cab is less than $500 more :notsure:

    and to answer your question, I can only vouch for a double cab, and even then its challenging. Me and her are not large either and I still need to push both seats all the way foreward to make it reasonable. Anything is possible really, as others have said: Improvise, Modify, Adapt, and Overcome. Its really that simple.

    I think the best answer is yes, it will work, but a double cab would be way more enjoyable, and easier to accomplish.

    Good Luck with all that :wink:

    Because DCSB is not a truck, and DCLB is 4 miles long.

    That and, if somebody wants a 4-cyl, there is no option of DC in prerunner or 4x4.

    Another point is that if you have kids, especially young ones, its good to be able to reach back and give them a whack when they're misbehaving.

    Back doors on AC also can't be opened when the front doors are closed and windows don't open. Highest security for kids.

    And, if you want to open the sliding rear window, you can reach it while driving in an AC, not a DC.

    Finally, its a good way of testing women. If she can adequately contort for play time in the back seat of an AC, you've got a keeper :D

    All very valid points. You got me there thats for sure. None of those apply to me, hence the reason I went DC, but now I certainly understand why though.

    I would say no...at least not comfortably. I haven't tried in mine and don't plan to. That was the one upside to my previous vehicle: a Dodge Durango-the seats would fold down flat and it was like a double bed back there!

    Its only like $40's more a month to get a full DC. That was the deciding factor for me and i havent looked back since.
