which truck

DC LB is perfect then.

 

this would be his dream truck haha. he wants to get the blue with black wheels and he wants to put a 6 inch lift and then we'll be building a bumper for it.

 

Thanx. Its a beautiful color. I Love my truck. Sounds like you got good plans for her. Keep us posted.

 

if he is gona use the bed of the truck... 4D LB, if not, 4D SB.

 

GET A DC you wont be sorry

 

dc 4x4 trd sport long bed with tow package
that way if you want you can tow the quad and it gives you even more
room in the long bed.
then de-badge it

 

I'm with slypted....I dont ride 4 deep in my truck and never really used the backseat in my 06' DBL...Plus the longer bed is uber handy for hauling dirtbikes, stuff etc...

Maybe I got burned out on that big set of back doors on my 06' too.

I like the longbox A-Hole cab as to me its the true essence of Tacoma-ness? The whole 4 door soccer mom look wore thin on me.....

Old 06' DBL...


New 09' A-Hole cabber.


You gotta pay for the thing. Pick the one that suits you best!!

 

My vote's for a 4x4 DC short bed with a 6-spd manual.

 

I picked up an access cab...cause I didn't want to have to lug people around...its usually only me in the truck...but if I do go on road trips no more than 3 people...

 

Everybody bought what they have because that's what they like and want...which is what they're gonna tell you to have your brother buy. Here's my 2 cents:

1) Does he care about comfortably carrying 4 passengers? If yes, get a DC. If no, get the one he thinks looks better.

2) Does he 'honestly' intend to offroad hard? If yes, get a 4x4. If no, I think it's worth saving the $.

3) If he likes blue, get blue. If he likes grey, get grey.

Buying something because other people think it's cool is being a poser. Again, just my 2 cents.

 

X1, juuussssst fits! Could not do it without the tailgate camera.

 

I didn't get that memo, so let me get this straight. Since they have four doors:

Lexus IS F10=not cool
Dodge Charger SRT8=not cool
S Class Mercedes=not cool
BMW 750i=not cool
Ford's new 365hp supercharged SHO=not cool
Even the Lamborghini Estoque=not cool

Got it!

 

What he said. I love your AC man!

 

what will he be using it for? answer that and that will help us help you.
if he has kids, then the 4 dr for sure. if he needs to haul stuff then the long bed or access cab. it all depends on personal needs

 

well my brother decided on a 2005 double cab trd off road with a fabtech 6 inch lift and 35 inch toyo's. he bought it today and i gotta say i am defenetly jealous the car next to it is what he has had since he got his license. a little upgrade id say

 

I use all 6' of my bed and it's worth it to me to have the longer bed, as I do general contracting work.

 

holy cow that is an extreme upgrade! like night and day

 

dc sb 4x4 silver

 

umm, so i guess this is a little late, but my .02...

X2 to all the above.... White LB didnt seem right,looked too stretched.... but Indigo Ink... Just right! course in NM white/silver /grey are much more sensible for hiding dirt and scratches.... win some and lose some. I have 3 step daughters. DC fits em all in the back seat perfectly, dog, skis /gear/ trash/ whatever in the back with good bed space even with a toolbox.:]

*no kids= AC (friends will just have to squeeze the kids a little in the back! plus its pretty roomy compared to the 1st gen. extracabs)

*Kids/family, carpooling= DC
*mostly 4x4= SB (TRD OR or sport)
*mostly work= LB (LB=TRD Sport only TRD option)

and if you look for used, i.e. Autotrader, Craigslist (if youre careful of the seller of course) you can get all the TRD upgrades plus relatively low miles for a thousands less than new....

 

DC LB or SB, will be happy to have the extra room down the road
