    It's all relative right? I sold a diesel Ram 3500 crew cab SB before purchasing my dbl cab long bed Tacoma. The Tacoma seems easy to park in comparison as it is 13 inches shorter in length and considerably shorter in height as well.

    Obviously you've never tried parking some of these newer full size pickups in tight areas....their like docking a large boat in a harbor slip. These new tacoma's are a blessing compared to my old tundra to park.

    Especially useful if you live in an area with a large amount of suburban commandos with lifted dually highway queens that don't know how to park their tonkas.

    You'll noticed a big difference if you plan on hauling stuff. At home, we went from a Ranger, Tacoma, and then Ram, all with short beds and we're renovating a house. Out of all the trucks, the Tacoma has the smallest bed which makes a noticeable difference.

    I've got a DCLB with 2 kids under the age of 10. I thought I'd be doing occasional trips with them but it's turned into the Family Truck. If you're planning on having 4 people in the truck often - you might want to look at the 4runner. Things are CRAMPED with the taco. It felt like I had way more room in my 3rd gen 4runner then in the taco. imo.
