    Everyone knows AC is better. Followed by RC longbed. But I know some guys like driving around in a Honda Ridgeline look-a-like, glorified SUV with a bed and think it's better because it has the runroof option, rear roll-down window, and temperature gauge in the overhead console.

    Who am I to judge? I just like the best generation of Tundra ever, the 2000-2006 models.

    Maybe we can center the conversation here instead of cluttering up other threads.

    Done and Done. But it's not Friday, so I take no responsibility for this and the poll ends after 60 days.

    Not a bad way to go with multiple family pets. You could put them in the bed with a camper shell and bed rug then hose it all down at the end of the day for easy cleaning.

    Reg cab. 8ft bed is nice. And it’s the fastest of the bunch..



    did I mention it’s one of the rarest?

    This thread is just everyone posting what truck they have. I’ll take my Ridgeline wanna be and go where you others can’t.

    More like $750 since you don’t have a backseat for a closet.

    2005 DC for me..
    Raised 2 kids in it with plenty of room...

    It was October of 2004.
    I actually went to the dealership to look at a used 2004 AC.
    They told me they could give me a better deal with 0% financing on a new 2005 than the used 2004.

    So I bought it..
    I loved that truck.
    Owned it for 10 years and 110K miles..

    Although I love my 2014 DC.
    I miss the 2005, might still have it if NTB didn't fuck it up.

    Uh if you mean PTA meetings and daycare, then yeah. If you want to head down a trail or get some work done, you'll have to leave your SUV at home.

    I feel like raising the kids in the house would have been much easier.

    I've had 2 AC's and a DC and the only reason I voted DC is the "access" to the rear. Up here in Connecticrap the parking spaces are small and if someone parked next to you, there would not be enough room to open the front door far enough to even get the access door open. It would slam into the front door or catch you in a pickle that you just couldn't get in or out until the truck was pulled half way out of the parking space.
    Only reason I went DC.

    Your failure to plan does not make the AC an inferior design.
