I would've got an off road

I wouldn’t have done anything different ... wanted a longbed pro but they don’t make one so I “made” my own from a fully optioned OR.

Seems like everyone is trying to talk you into the 4 door double cab. In 2016 I ordered the non-tech, barest bones Trd off road 4x4access cab available.

My wife and I don’t have kids. I’ve never thought that I wished I purchased the double cab instead of the access cab. When I go on MTB trips with more than one buddy, someone else drives and I get to ride. I have 3 medium sized dogs and removed the back seats and made a platform and a custom cushion for them to comfortably ride. My pups have logged many long distance rides back there including two cross country trips. I use the 6’ bed daily. I don’t off road like some of the folks on here but I own a sizable amount of forested land that I use my truck to get around and I have had to use the rear locker on many occasions. So if I can offer any advice I would consider the convenience of the off road package with 4x4. It’s really been an amazing and practical little truck to get around. Good luck with your search!

Agreed.
Very similar situation for me. Did the rear platform (carpeted) mod to my '06 for my Ridgeback - He loved it.
Didn't want much more in my '21 except for the AT and a slight step up in cab comfort.
So far, no regrets but a couple of annoyances related to design changes that I disagree with.
