    Oh man, picking a full size would have been a heck of a decision for me.

    Same here

    The CREXMAX is the best Tundra interior, but with the small bed, look like a hippo or sumo wrestler.

    I think (looks wise) the double cab Tundra with the 6.5 or 8 feet bed looks the best. Also the interior room is same as Tacoma DC, so that might be what I would get eventually.

    Running over snooty rich bitches aren't "off road" obstacles..... but I guess in a Pro, you're allowed to since they might mistake a Tacoma for a gardener's truck. :)

    How big are you? I'm 5'8" with the sunroof option. Seems to fit "just right" for me. Like GPB said, just throwing out some numbers.

    I went thru pep boys with a crap magnet, got it all
    A year and 30K miles later I made the right choice. I drove across the country during last years blizzard, having the locking rear differential (and 300 lbs of sand) made all the difference. never got stuck.

    Those snooty bitches are my people. Would never run over them. Can't afford the litigation costs. However, mowing down SR Gardeners..no issues there.

    I went DCLB OR. I don't get the sport personally. I mean the OR has a locker, stock! Also I'm digging the 8.75" rear end. Does the sport have the same rear end? Rear end, hmmmm

    Although I think I'm going to have to add/change something on the rear suspension because I cannot imagine hauling anything heavy and not bottoming the suspension.

    If I would have went with a Tundra, it would have probably been a Platinum 4x4 CrewMax

    If/when I buy another, I'll probably buy an offroad. I'd consider a long bed and maybe a manual. I wouldn't want the manual now though. Traffic here sucks.

    IMO some of it depends on what sort of aftermarket upgrades you like...

    I really liked the OR, Limited, and Pro at the dealership just by shear looks and a few extra gizmos and gadgets. "thingymahgiggers"

    But chose between the Sport and SR5 because I knew I would be shifting the whole look of the truck with aftermarket add ons. Chose the Sport because I liked the hood scoop, but I would've also liked the black trim from the OR.
    Dislike the Sport stock wheels but ill eventually get something else to replace those.

    Besides getting a 16 Tacoma, the only regret I have is that I wish I got the long bed.

    I went with the SB because I live in a city and I thought parking would be an issue. It hasn't been with the SB, but I can count on one hand the number of times where having the SB v the LB would have made any difference at all.

    I think, aesthetically, the DCSB looks lopsided. The ACLB looks the best, but I needed a DC because I have friends. The DCLB looks much than the SB, I've been considering a topper for the SB but it seems like a waste if I can't even lay down in the back without having my feet exposed.

    Plus, functionally that extra foot of space would come in handy with kayaks and on big camping trips.

    I regret buying it in general. I now have to buy so many aftermarket things with so many options out there to customize. :wave:$$$
