Despite the size difference, I think the Tacoma looks much cooler.

Same. The Tundra only looks the way it does to compete with how absurdly large Chevy/Dodge/Ford made their full sized trucks. Guess you gotta make 'em big when the drivers are all 6'4 and 300lb men.

We are both 5'6" 120-140 lbs lol. He actually uses it for his job, he's a private contractor. So he hauls heavy materials, tools and trailers. We all give him crap because he looks like a little kid in that huge Tundra.

LOL, I'm 5'8", 165 lbs and I think the Taco is perfect fit for me. However, my Older brother and older Brother-in-law are both 5'6" and 140ish lbs but they both think the Taco is TOO SMALL so they both got Tundras (husbands) and Escalades (wives)....They also have NEVER hooked a trailer to their truck....

Both look good IMO. I don't think the Tacoma looks that much smaller. I'm 6'3 / 215 lbs fit just fine in my Tacoma. I feel like I'm on the very end for this s truck size wise though.

I know a guy that's like 5'4 maybe and drives a lifted f350, his wife is a bomb and she's taller than him and it's fun to see them holding hands. He works with oil, so idk if it's the $ she sees but love works in mysterious ways.

6'1", and about 315. I fit just fine in my DCSB. My late partner had a gen 1 Access cab, and it felt tiny, and I always thought the seats were too low. He was 6'4 and I don't know how he fit in it very well.

the Tacoma actually looks bigger than the Tundra from the front because it sits so much higher (in the first post).

I like that the Tacoma is almost a tweener, a bit bigger than midsize but not a full size. If I wanted full size though, I wouldn't go Toyota. The Tundra just looks bloated to me.

lol me and my friend with the Tundra made the flag mounts from Harbor Freight trailer hitch, metal conduit pipe(left over from a job site), a bolt, a nut, couple washers, ratchet strap and duct tape lol merica. It was like $20 to make.
My other friend with the Frontier bought his from Amazon I can't remember how much he paid.
