    Yup. When a neighbor cut down a ~26" diameter beech tree I took a round from near the bottom to use as a chopping block. Almost died lifting it enough to throw it down the hatchway.

    I agree on the access cab long bed as long as OP isn't going to carry people in the back. I have a double cab but have only had people in the back seat probably 5 times in the past 5-6 years.

    Toyota just tried to upsell me on a $685 alarm system and i wasn't having anything to do with it at 40k after state sales tax they better include it so i pulled out of the deal. I believe im better off with Nissan pro 4x at this point less electrical crap and if i ever do get stuck whatever. btw i have decided on the access cab if this ever does happen I need a 6 foot bed. FUCK TOYOTA IM BUYING A TRUCK NOT AN ALARM SYSTEM PLUS I HAVE FACTOR IN THE CAR INSURANCE WITHOUT AN ALARM INSTALLED IM SCREWED.......THIS IS NOT WORKING OUT AT ALL.

    One thing you’ll find out is that opinions are like asshoes,everybody has one. If I was you I would shop around and stick with a Toyota, you’ll be better off in the long run IMO. I’ve had 4 Tacoma’s and 1 Nissan and the Tacoma’s are better trucks in all aspects...again IMO,having said that...buy what YOU think will fulfill your needs best.

    Tell them no on the alarm system and buy an aftermarket.

    I've had regular cab trucks, XtraCab trucks and now an Access Cab. If you need a truck with a decent sized cargo bed but not be battleship long on trails the choice is what it is.

    I already feel that an extended cab is kind of a luxury for a truck and a little guilty that I really like the suicide doors of the Access Cab. Absolutely brilliant, makes the space behind the seats 100x more useful beyond just being able to recline the backs.

    Personally if I needed to regularly carry people in the back seat I would get a 4Runner and a trailer for the utility. That will have a shorter wheelbase, almost an ideal wheelbase for 'wheeling, and interior space for storing stuff.

    I think Cement Gray and Magnetic Gray Metallic or the hottest colors right now. Quicksand looks cool but isn't as memorable IMO.

    As has been stated several times, you can have 6 ft bed AND double cab (DCLB). Or do you not want a double cab longbed?
