    True.... But do you use the AC?

    I can just see shit coming into the cab... Snow, rain, dust, etc.

    Not to mention, what happens if it rains and the water runs down the bed into the cab? Are the seats and carpet water proof? I dunno about the rest of you, but I've smelled wet car upholstery and it's nasty...


    I'm just thinking here about how I roll the windows up when it rains, and here you have the entire back part of the cab open..... To me, the truck can only be used in the full-bed configuration on warm, sunny days. Down south that might be fine, but in NY the weather changes every half hour or so. It can go from rain to no rain and back half a dozen times on the same road! :laugh:

    The only way I would even attempt to open that truck when it has been raining is on a steep hill!

    I had read somewhere that the intended market is younger people. Same as the Scion.

    Right. To me it's one of those features that are handy to have, but if you needed to use it often, then this isn't the truck for you. You have to make sure it's not raining and you can handle the temperature. If I don't care if I show up at the destination sweaty, AC is not a necessity. Plus, I could plan ahead and wear 3 layers of clothes if I needed the full-bed in cold weather.

    They should call it Corky, cause it looks like a car with Downs Syndrome.

    It looks like the Isuzu Vehicross, which is a feat since that was an SUV of sorts and this has a bed.

    I'm still happy with my Tacoma. :)
