2022 Tacoma Double Cab vs Access Cab - I Compare So You Can Pick!

Hey everyone, I'm Jeff Tegan, Raleigh, North Carolina. Today we're going to compare Toyota Tacoma XS cab versus double cab. We all know truck manufacturers love assigning different terms or buzzwords or just names to the back seat or to the bed. We've got the king cab, the crew cab, the giant XXL cab, or we've got an XS cab. This XS cab is 2022 Tacoma Celestial Silver. And then we've got this double cab here in this extremely tough Toyota Tacoma SR5 Super White 4x2. By the way, that one there is also a 4x2. Exterior length, that could mean something to you, right? Is it going to fit in your garage? Well, with an XS cab, you're always going to get what Toyota calls a six foot bed. This is 73.7 inches. I can barely reach, but 73.7 inches. The whole length of this truck is 212 inches, point three, 212.3. Now a double cab, that's a double headed monster here because it can have a five foot bed, 60.5, or it can have a six foot bed like you see in the XS cab. It would make it longer. So this truck right here is 212.3 inches long. Same as that bad boy right there. Whoa. But you can also get that longer bed and then it becomes 225 inches, point five. Should we get down? Get down tonight. Another consideration is going to be like in this XS cab. What does it look like inside? Well, from this vantage point, it looks exactly like the double cab does. Eight inch screen, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, Amazon Alexa, the SR5. It has a key. It does not have the smart key. And then it's got nice fabric seats, durable, they last a long time. But what about the door? Where's the handle? Well, on an XS cab, I know some of you may know this already, but we're going to go through it. Oh, it's right here. Holla. So we've got the cab and a half now. So what do we have? We've got utility. Some people put in a utility package here and you can use it for work. Some people use it for storing things. Some people use it for people. And if you can notice here, well, of course you can notice if you would notice here, we just have jump seats. With. Storage, whatever you want there. Nice big dumping, though. That's cool. Cup holders. Nice, beautiful landscape view. I like that. So now what can we do here? It looks like one of those Star Wars droids in Attack of the Clones, right? Must kill the rebels. And let's lift it up. You lift me up. And then what can we do here? Well, we can also take this and put that up as well. So now that's up. And then we've got storage. Well, not really storage, but we've got our spare tire equipment. Let's go to the other side. This side. Has storage. More than the last side. OK. All right. Put some bottles in there, some rope, maybe. But look, this goes up. It stays in place just like the other one did. I just didn't do it right. So we've got room that we can stack, we can store, we can put people. So now let's compare that to the double cab interior, and it's going to seem very businesslike in the front, sort of like a mullet. But it's going to surprise you in the back, also like a mullet. Still has the eight inch screen. The Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, Amazon Alexa. Even the front seats seem the same. So what's different? Yes, I know, you know, the difference is the back seat. I'm setting the mood. I'm building the story. So we've got that, which looks very more. We'll call it traditional like. Because the access cab certainly doesn't look traditional in terms of a full back seat, but it serves a purpose. So this is the double cab here, and I've got seats positioned in different ways. So you can see legroom, possibilities and potential. We're going to talk about the differences next in headroom and legroom between the two options. Wonder if it's the same or different. What do you guys think? So what can we do in the back seats of a double cab? Well, we can tip them forward. It's like cow tipping. I mean, two cows wanted to go for entertainment on a Friday night. They're like, what do you want to do? I'm like, what do you want to do? Go to the movies. So you can also do under bed storage under bed. And then we can. Hold them down. Then we got the seats back. But we also have straps. Oh, now look at that. A different way to configure the seats. We'll put one side down for now, because I want to show you how to do it. This is how we do it. All hands in the air and waving from here to there. If you see where I cut that clip, I just learned you have to take off not only the two headrests on the side, but on the center as well. So that's where I cut that clip to show you that I had to learn on the fly. But it's easy once you figure it out. Man, the possibilities, the versatility here. What? So what we can do here, we can have the seat all the way back. And I wanted to show that because, oh, it's a tight fit back here, right? It's kind of tight. But then somebody could be kind to you and move the seat forward a little bit. Like this. That's a little better. And then this is what the seat already in that position. So, again, it's kind of tight. This isn't something you'd want to take somebody cross country, I don't think, or across state lines unless it was like the four corners out in the West, then you could just jump across from state. Get it? Yeah, that's the solution. Go to four corners. It's easy. But anyway, this is the space that you get headrooms real good. We're going to pop up into this double cab now. This one has more leg room in the back seat than the access cab. Access cab posted by Toyota. Twenty four point six inches. This one has posted by Toyota. Thirty two point six inches. So eight more available inches of rear seat leg room. This one set for me about five, eight right in that range there in the front. So plenty of room. Now this one's more back, but even back. You can see that there's a little bit more clearance on the access cab. I was kind of hugging it like this. What about headroom? This one has more headroom in it, the double cab than the access cab. This one has thirty eight point three inches of rear seat headroom. The access cab has thirty four point nine. So a little bit less. It just depends on if you need that headroom or not. Access cab serves a purpose for sure. Maybe not the same purpose as a double cab. What's going through your mind right now? This next portion is going to be dedicated to the window stickers. They're not apples to apples. The access cab, that's a four cylinder two wheel drive. This one here, the double cab, it's a V6 two wheel drive. But we will do apples to apples because if you get the V6 access cab four by two, that's going to be about thirty one six. In double cab format, V6. Two wheel drive, double cab, thirty two seven. So it's about eleven hundred dollars more for the double cab than the access cab. Does that influence your decision one way or the other? So here we go. This is the four by two access cab. It's the four cylinder engine, so you can see a little bit of price adjustments. When you go four cylinder, six cylinder, all that jazz, you can see the fuel mileage changes. Toyota Safety Sense. This has the 16 inch styled steel wheels. So this one starts at twenty eight or ninety. Doesn't have any factory options on this specific one. That's shipping and handling to get it to the dealers. This one has some mats on it. And then that'll put it in just over thirty thousand on this one. Thirty thousand. Oh, thirty four. Let's look at this double cab here. Whoo, super wide, two wheel drive. Here's the fuel mileage, it's a little bit different than the access cab. Here we go. Just take a look at these. See, this one comes standard instead of styled steel wheels with 16 inch alloy wheels, and then you can upgrade to 16 inch black alloy wheels if you want to. So this is thirty two seven eighty. Like I said, this one has a couple upgrades on it. It's got the blind spot monitor with rear cross traffic alert that'll influence the final price. Here's delivery. And the other option is the all weather floor mats that puts this one down to or up to. We'll call it thirty four eight ninety four. And we'll call this next section. Why buy a Toyota Tacoma? Well, it's the best selling midsize truck in America. And it has been for, gosh, I think a decade and a half. There are a lot of choices out there. It's a competitive field. But people choose this one because it's rock solid tough. It's badass to the core. It's durable, dependable, reliable. You can drive it for hundreds of thousands of miles. And boy, oh boy, can you take it places? You can get something like TRD off road. You can get TRD Pro. You can take it on the toughest trails at the ridiculous angles that maybe other trucks can't get to. And then you've got on road ones. SR5, Limited, TRD Sport. So many different choices out there for Tacoma lovers. So which one's best for you? Thanks for watching, everybody. Woo. We did it together. Which one do you like? Do you like AXS? Do you like double? Cab versus cab. Who wins this battle? It's an individual choice, my friends. So what do you think of Tacoma? What's your favorite trim level?
