    I guess my 05 was a lemon then. At least Nissan replaced 3 rear gear sets before I put in a trutrac.

    Compared to my 1st gen Taco extracab I dailied prior, the Tundra AC is a DC. Cant imagine needing more cab space, isnt the point to make the kids more and more uncomfortable as they get older?

    All said we could get by with a access cab just fine as we are empty nesters but I appreciate the space in the dbl cab.

    I’ve got two little rascals, but we took the passenger side rear seat out, so one of the furry rascals could have a spot inside on road trips. Normally it’s not a rascal hauler, so it’s also nice to stack tools or whatever else over on that spot as well.

    LOL, If you did put someone back there, they'd be looking at you like that guy.
    I was going to buy an AC, but I took a car seat to the dealer. Things changed.

    At least it's not as bad as the tacoma with the jump seat. That's just punishment putting someone back there.

    Actually ... that'd still be a good price, given the options. But I think we talked about this at some point, I'm really vying for a 2WD and if I could be super-picky, a peskly little 2.4L engine. And manual. Definitely prefer a manual.

    Yeah this probably isn't what you want then lol.
    20220113_165827.jpg
    Realistic number is probably about $6500. Guess I'll stop hijacking this thread. Probably should just throw up a for sale thread on here and give it a shot before I have to deal with marketplace.

    Because you don't want your groceries and golf clubs to get rained upon and it's more secure to put valuable stuff back there and cover it out of view.

    All this calling a DC a Ridgeline wannabe, didn’t the DC come out before the Ridgeline? So really everyone with a Ridgeline wishes they had a DC Tundra… right?

    Guess I should put in my $0.02 on why I think the AC works for me. Probably the way this thread should have went is why it's best for you not why it's the best truck lol.
    I got an AC because I'm planning to have kids in the next 4 or 5 years so that rules out a RC and I like having easy dry storage. My truck isn't a daily so I wouldn't be transporting kids in it regularly so it seems a DC wasn't really necessary and also because as little as I use my truck I couldn't justify DC money even if I wanted one.

    No one needs this kind of negativity.
    Also, you're wrong. AC is definitely better than every other truck.
