I love Tac

Hola everybody!

It's fitting my 1st post is on Taco Tuesday, a tradition like no other (eat your heart out Masters).

My lifestyle requires a bit of a vehicle upgrade and I'm in research mode. About to take a few test drives and would surely appreciate TacoWorld expertise & guidance ahead of time. I've always had SUV's. Had considered the new LC but, the seats don't lay flat in the cargo hold (I do a lot of dirt-bagging so sleeping in my vehicle is important.). I love the flexibility of a truck/topper/accessories.

Spend quite a lot of time in the woods, mainly in CO, WY, and ID so we get into some rugged country. Have some gripes while doing some research so here's where I'd appreciate some guidance. Off-road trim seems like the best option for what I'm looking for but...

1. Will Toyota allow for Off-road trim w/ extended cab vs. dual cab with 6-ft bed?
2. Anyone with a dual cab + 6ft bed - Thoughts? Seems like a land barge alone but add the raft and I might as well be long-hauling. Turning radius?
3. Hybrid - No option for a 6ft bed or can Toyota do this?
4. Tundra - Even bigger but if I have to do dual cab, I can at least get hybrid. Tundra vs. Taco?

SR5 looks to be the only trim with an extended cab + 6ft bed. What gives??

Thanks all.

Are you looking at the 3rd Gen or 4th Gen? I think that would be important to know in order to answer some of your questions properly.

 

Open to Gen 3 or 4 so long as low milage (<20K)

 

If you want a truck for under $35k that will go off road Gladiator it is. It's got 4x4, V6, a hard top, bright ass yellow paint, and a plethora of after market support. Other than it's overall length and WB, it will probably out OR any other new midsize on the market today.

Almost certain this has a 5ft bed. I also noticed it looks just like a Jeep. Answers/suggestions to OG post?
