The 2023 Toyota Tacoma SR is the base model for this half-ton truck. That doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with it, just the opposite. If you want a great truck at an affordable price, the SR trim could be the right Tacoma for you to drive.

Can you enjoy any cab or bed options in the 2023 Toyota Tacoma SR?

Toyota gives the SR trim several configurations. The rule of two applies to this base Tacoma which can be had in two cab sizes, with two bed lengths, and has the choice of two powertrains. Select either an Access Cab (think extended cab with rear doors opening opposite the front doors) or Double Cab (a cab more like a traditional Crew Cab).

Seating is limited to five people in the Double Cab and barely four in the Access Cab. If you have the Access Cab Tacoma truck, the rear is better used as a cargo hold.

The Access Cab model comes with a 6-foot bed, while the Double Cab gives you a 5-foot bed for the items you need to carry.
