 I purchased the Tacoma Double cab after 
much research.  If you negotiate with 
the dealer and get it near invoice, it 
is an excellent value.  I have the 
space to carry 5 adults.  This is 
perfect for us because My wife and I 
can take our infant daughter and two 
guests (another couple).  The bed is 
much more utilitarian than an SUV of 
comperable size.  With a spray in 
bedliner it can haul anything without 
risk of scratch or dent.  The truck 
rides nicely with the TRD package and 
has enough ground clearance and a rear 
locker to get me out of anything I get 
myself into.  Overall, I love it 
and would recommend it to anyone.
