    I'm a 2007 Tundra owner, and I'm looking at the Tacoma for my next truck.

    The 07-08 Tundra and maybe more Tundra trucks have a well documented driveshaft clunk. Do the recent Tacoma models have any well known issues? I just read about the kazoo whistle issue.

    I haven't walked the dealer lot yet for a first hand look but the double cab long bed sounds like what I want to see. I couldn't stand the short bed on my Avalanche and I love the length of bed on my double cab Tundra.
