Yep. I even felt for a lever that raised the seat when I first got in. I'm 5'8" and still feel like I'm sitting on the floor, but the 08 wasn't much difference

Seems crazy that there is no seat height adjustment, my 1984 Tercel Wagon had one! I am 6'2'' and am seriously looking at the Ridgeline and Colorado as an alternative for this reason, but I love everything else about the Tacoma

Interesting, I thought I was to high, I looked to lower the seat. Maybe it had to do with that sunroof, seems taller then my '06. Love(d) both.

Hey congrats on your new Tacoma. I really upgraded from a 2000 Nissan Frontier Shortbed to my '17 Sport Longbed. I hope to keep this for at least 15+ years. Although I was really happy about the frontier, the mileage and the shortbed were the only two shortcoming. But in the 16 years that I had it, it worked great. I already put my Tacoma to work with 2500 pound loads of sand, gravel, mulch, etc.

I really like the longbed, but I only wished it was a true 6' foot bed and not 5-1/2 foot.

Pulled the trigger on a 2018 Sport..After 10yrs of being in the same truck, my daughter seriously texted me and said she is gonna cry when I get rid of the 08. My old one has made us so many memories as a family, has carried so many hundreds of wild game and spent countless miles traveling across the country in search of game....I chose the Sport, alot because of the lack of chrome, hood scoop, and knowing I don't wheel, or subject my truck to mudding, mostly dirt roads and occaisionally a small mud hole or 2...but for my budget, the suspension played 0 part in my decision, because the camper shell, suspension lift, wheels and tires are foremost in the list. Praying that this truck will bring me, my family, and hopefully grandchildren the same amount of dedication my 08 did. As much as people whine about the petty crap they aren't happy about on their Tacoma's, all in all, this is ultimately the best truck ever built, bar none. This will make my 6th, and the numbers will keep growing...the only problem I have with it, is it took me 10 years to get mine built to perfection is (in my eyes), and I want my new one done like that in 2 weeks.....dang TW....don't help much

Here's to 10 more....cheers

I thought the Long Bed was around 73"?
