Access Cab models add interior storage space and the ability to carry two more passengers. In terms of carrying passengers, the rear seat is mostly a short-term affair, however. First, the Tundra does not offer nearly as much space in the rear half of the extended cab as the Chevrolet, GMC, Ford and Dodge pickups. Second, the rear seatback is vertical, causing the occupant to sit bolt upright, which is uncomfortable for traveling any farther than the neighborhood restaurant.
A far better use for the extended cab is to use it for carrying dry cleaning, groceries or briefcases. Unfortunately, the rear seat itself takes up a fair amount of room. The seat bottom on the split-bench rear seat can be flipped up, but the seat doesn't fold completely out of the way, nor can it be easily removed. Next Page
