To go along with greater comfort, Toyota has managed to make the cab of the Tacoma a quieter place to be. Toyota engineers devoted a significant amount of attention to achieving this goal. Among the changes are aerodynamic improvements designed to help reduce wind noise and additional sound dampening materials in the headliner, on the floor, and behind the rear seats. While the result isn't exactly a luxury sedan hush, it's quiet enough to hear details in a favorite song, which is an improvement over some of Tacoma's competitors.
Bed Length
For bigger loads, the Tacoma offers a choice of two bed lengths. Regular and Access Cab models come standard with the 73.5-inch long bed. For the first time Double Cab models will be offered with a choice of a 60.3 inch short bed or the same 73.5-inch long bed. We think this last option-which means crew cab buyers will no longer have to give up cargo room to gain the additional passenger space as is the case with other four-door pickups that are only offered with short beds-gives the Tacoma a distinct advantage over the competition.
