Finally got a good look at almost the exact Tacoma I’d buy, 4wd extended cab with a cap on the back.

I gotta say there ain’t much room at all in that extended cab (ya, I know.... “duh”) and while my 5’7” on a good day self could fit easily, I can see how bigger folks would have problems. All-round visibility (important while bird watching) ain’t that great either (another “duh”).

Outback would fit my lifestyle better.

Plan “C” is to just get another Corolla, with the $10,000 saved I could buy a motorcycle and/or put it towards a trip of a lifetime for me and my son and granddaughter and still have, at least officially, a 1,500lb towing capacity.

Decisions, decisions.
