Also new is Toyota's use of a composite inner bed which weighs 10 percent less and yet is tougher and more corrosion- and dent-resistant than steel. Built into the bed are grooves that allow owners to create a two-tier inner deck plus four adjustable tie-down cleats. A full range of bed accessories including bike mounts, cargo crossbars, diamond-plate tool boxes, and a 400-watt, 115-volt AC power point add still more flexibility. For buyers looking to maximize cargo capacity, Double Cab models also offer an optional roof rack system. Larger bed sizes should make the truck folks happy. But Toyota hasn't forgotten the car types out there, those who want more room and versatility inside the cab. To that end, Access and Double Cab models feature rear seats that flip forward and fold flat, as well as underseat storage bins. Double Cab models include storage compartments behind the rear seat. Elsewhere in the interior, designers added a number of storage areas to accommodate the ever-growing amount of stuff we seem to be schlepping around these days. All Tacomas feature dual bottle holders in the front doors, while upper trim levels get an overhead console with map lights and compartments designed to give sunglasses and a garage door opener a permanent place to call home.
