When the dilemma of whether to go with Toyota Tacoma with the access cab or to spring for the double cab presents itself there are some things that should be kept in mind.
First and foremost, if the truck is going to be used to tote around adults very often they will not be very comfortable in an access cab. An access cab will do fine for holding full grown people for the occasional short trip but it would not be pleasant for something like a long trip or long daily commutes with people in back.
The next thing that should be kept in mind is that you cannot get a four cylinder Tacoma with a double cab. If you are after a very fuel efficient truck with a four cylinder engine then the access cab is the best option. You will be able to enjoy the fuel efficiency of the four cylinder engine and the added benefit of the larger size of the access cab compared to the regular cab.
The double cab provides much more space for back seat passengers. If the truck is going to be used as a family vehicle a double cab really is the best option unless there will only be very small children in the back.
Keep the image of who the truck will toting around in the front of your mind when choosing between cabs. Do this and you will not go wrong with your new Toyota Tacoma.
