Considering moving to an access cab, any regrets from you guys?

I'm on my second access cab Tacoma and I like them. My wife has an SUV so why would I buy another one with the roof half missing. Since it is just the two of us these days the access cab is plenty and I can actually haul stuff in the six foot bed. We have taken it on three road trips the longest being 2500 miles and it was very comfortable for both of us. If/when it gets replaced it will be another access cab.

 

No regrets. Wanted a MT and long bed. Only me and Wife in this one.

 

Little late to the convo but I started with a 2006 ac LOVED it, because of health issues needed an automatic. Got a '15 rav (too much like a car), then '16 dbl cab Tacoma (still not happy), '18 4Runner (liked it, MISSED my Tacoma). Just traded it for the 2019 Tacoma AC LOVE it!! The only thing that would be better is if it was a manual

 

Hey Becky..wow..omg..did your new truck come with that hood scoup stock?
My 18 similar to yours,except blazing blue..didnt come with gr8 hood
PS..MT...rocks

 

FYI, if you quote her like this @Blueheelerlove she'll know that you reached out the her.

 

Love my AC. Fits our empty nest lifestyle.



2019 4Runner SR5 Premium 4WD with 3rd row when the grands visit.

 

I went from a 16, AC OR to a used 17 Pro.
I still get pissed when I try to reach for the latch and open the rear door suicide and can’t.
I moved on from a AC to DC just so my dog could have some more room and his own window.
Loved the AC though.

 

Latest AC mods

2 Dewalt tool boxes and HF Apache secure box.

Trimmed to fit carpeted TruxMat.

And leftover room for lunch box, dog, shotguns etc and more gear!


Access Cab for the win!

 

I like your setup. Which TruxMat did you start with?

Awesome. Thank you Sir!

 

None. Suicide doors are cool and you can lay down in the bed in case you score.

 

Buy a trailer and save your money.

 

I never considered anything but the Access Cab. Just fits my needs best...

 

Hey @Yota.jr Yes it did, comes with the TRD Sport. I know lol I've been all over the place. Planning on keeping this one, already have the lift kit on its way so I've invested in it lol. Definitely agree on the MT. I like your color too

 

Lifestyle TRUCK.

 

This is exactly what I do when someone pulls up next to me in a grocery parking lot. My first option is to park away from people (trying to keep them away from my Tacoma) and get exercise walking into the store. I have a AC and it fits my needs. Lets all be thankful Toyota makes a DCSB, DCLB and ACLB so we all have choices.

 

I never considered anything but the Access Cab TRD OR MT. OK I did very briefly consider the Sport but then I quickly realized I would need to rip off the air dam/snow plow and might need aftermarket rocker for my 600' long uphill winter driveway.

 

OP says he has no backseat passengers 90 percent of the time. 90 is a pretty low number. I have the AC and have no rear passengers 99 percent of the time. If 10 percent of my driving required seats for friends, there's no way I'd be happy with the AC.

 

Access cab w/utility package works for me.
