    You should be able to get the dealer down to the access cab price you've listed for the DC you're looking at.

    ...that's what she said...don't ask me how but it is!
    Yea those headrests look really weird, dunno what to do with them but I'm sure I could take them out.
    I was being nice to my friends, they bitch and moan when I take the Mazda because I have one friend who's 6' 8'' and another who doesn't like small cars or cabs or seats so it's my way of being nice...and being able to have fun with some chicks in the backseat while I'm at it. :D

    :laugh: Sometimes I wish I had a DC, but I love my AC. If it was an 09 though, I would definitely get the DC. :D

    Oh I'm gonna low ball the hell out of them! It's gonna take a few days to close the deal but once I do, it's gonna be a DC Sport for less than the price of an SR5 AC! (well, that's the plan)
    But let's keep this on the space aspect of it, everybody always talks about price...functionality FTW!

    Yup...now whenever I think of a DC I'm gonna think "2 in the pink one in the stink" because I'll be able to throw 3 buddies back there or 2 pinks and 1 stink! :eek: :laugh:

    after i bought my AC i was mad due to the lack of a comfortable back seat but after a while i realized that i didnt buy this truck so my passengers would be comfortable, i bought it cuz i like ACs better than DCs. I dont have kids/family so i dont need a backseat for my friends to ride around in, now im glad i got the AC. but if you had your heart set on a DC then get one...my point is dont worry about other people, its your truck, not theirs.

    I know, I just have a soft side for people I haul around...not to mention I wanna look hella G in it rather than, well, not hella G. And the DC has always been "hella G" to me.

    I don't like the looks of the DC LB however.

    Me neither the LB looks disproportionate to the rest of the truck, only the AC can rock the LB.

    I got the AC because I've only got like 3 friends and don't have luck with girls, especially the back seat thing. :rolleyes:

    So it was plenty comfortable for me and 1 friend. Then 1 short person. And on the other side I have sub/box and amp.

    But you buy what you like and what fits your needs best. ;)

    That's funny, because I think the short bed looks disproportionate... kinda stubby. To each their own I guess :)
