YES !!! is all i can say. Yes i made a big mistake buying a regular cab. At the time I thought I ws buying a house and now were not. Im living with the inlaws.... but anyways <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Here are some crappy night pictures.

Things I hated about the regular cab base model
1)Not enough room for long road trips
2)no where to keep things
3)not enough power for me on the beach and on the Hwy For passing


Things I love about the new SR5 V6
1)its got balls for a V6
2)I can lean the seat back (Im 6'3")
3Wife can drive it now, Its Auto And shes 5'
4)no more bench seat
5)I like power everything !!!
6)Did I say its fast as hell for a V6 ?

Congrats! I can certainly see how the extended cab provides much more room. You may discover that you like the extra room so much that you wish you bought the quad cab (or whatever they call it.)

We've got the 03 Extended cab, and it's great for two people(and their dog.)But sometimes,it would be really nice to take along two more adults on one's offroad ventures. Of course, then the bed gets pretty short. It's a tradeoff.

Of course, the quad Taco is now available with the long bed. But then the wheelbase becomes so long that it hardly feels like a mid size, let alone a compact, truck. Nevertheless, I think that is what we're eventually going to get.

Hey guys. Im not messing with the exhaust on this one yet. unless maybe its OEM like the TRD exhaust. I dont want a droan in the cab.

I paid 26,700 for the truck Plus 1400$ 6 year 75k just in case. I took a 6 year loan on the truck. I hope to pay it off before then! lol

I actually pay under 480 a month. I should have go the Excab v6 the first time around when I had $6000 to put down VS the 1000 I put down this time around. Well we all live and learn.


To answer someone elses Question. yep its robert mooses pkw. It its pretty nice down there when its not gridlocked summer time.
