The size is amazing on the crewcab, but i think the angle of the seat is the most important for comfort
As a Carpentry man I first got the crewmax for its better looks and bigger sitting space for the family -all in one. And I have to say I regretted fast. Could never do anything with that smaller bed at the back it was just so frustrating. Traded back in for the double cab one month later.
Crewmax is for girls.
How are the back seats for road trips?
Rarely do I have adults in the rear seat but when I do the Double Cab will be fine (or they can walk). Towing capacity of +9,000 pounds and 6.5' bed for family camping gear are my top priorities. I hope to find a 4WD Tundra Limited (2021 or older) that will work for us after the first the year (2025).
Great video thank you
crewmax would be perfect if it had a bigger bed, it's why I got a double cab.
For 2022, the 6.6ft is now available on the Crewmax!
Fucking HATE that back door window on the double cab, but I do NOT want a 5.5' bed. I can't understand why the fuck they don't make a Crewmax with a 6' bed.
Children doesn’t need crewmax space
I have a iForceMax limited 6.5 bed w/crewmax. I just wish the dealer got it in TRD. I Love 💘 my combination.
Double cab all the way.
Double Cab
Double cab all days crewmax i rather buy suv instead
I have the double cab. I'm 6'3 with long legs (36in inseam) and i cab sit comfortably behind the driver seat with it all the way back. I just have to spread my knees to the sides a bit which is how i sit anyway, because you know, testicles.
My first Tundra 2012 double cab and I love the look and don't need the extra space in back.
Mike
Perfect then 👍🏼 if u ever need the space, that backseat will be just fine
Thanks , I think it will work for us. Selling a 31ft motor home and have a 25ft camp trailer we intend to pull and only two grand kids and small dog. It should work well. It has high mileage but got a good deal on the truck and will not be a full time driver.
Mike
Thx
Team dbl cab. The dbl cab is wayyy mlre superior than the crewmax. The dbl cab you get the big center console then you get the rear underseat storage then you get the 6.5 bed. I dint understand crewmax with a topper... That totally removes the purpose of the crewmax rear window.
Good stuff! I’m a crew max guy, but you’re totally right, comes down to needs, like anything else. Keep up the reviews.
Rear facing child safety seats fit in the Crewmax with the seat all the way back! Love it! 🙌🏼
+Ryan Willis 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
Was going to be my question, my kids are front facing now. Any one have info on that??
Helpful
Only question I’ve been looking to be answered. Thank you
My first full size truck ever, is the Toyota Tundra 2014 SR5 crewmax and it's unbelievable and I love the truck!
+Jonathan Rodriguez great! Im glad you like it 👍🏼
TundraDude34 the only thing I don't like no storage space under the back row, but I didn't know they had a kit, and I looking in to getting one now
+Jonathan Rodriguez yea, its a pretty good kit from what I understand
Watching this just made me appreciate the prior generation even more. Such a better truck then current generation
Double cab , I like the longer bed and under seat storage.
Crewcab baby!! Tundra has Amazing leg room!! It's like a limo back there! Plus the bed in the back is wide enough to haul stuff around in!! Plus the back window that goes completely down!!! Oh my god!!
+Maddog8148 dude im in love!
All depends on whether you actually use your truck. Double cab for me, I have shit to get done.
😂😂😂
Preach
Yup. Same here
Preach!!!
Digitalbumpin crewmax look better and a suv is not a truck. To each there own. Laughing at people for buying what they like and what you like is stupid.
I have the 2016 Crew Max. I absolutely think it's awesome. So far the bed size has been great I've been able to haul much more than I had anticipated. Thanks for the great video.
+Doug Kreutzer thanks for watching!
This issue exposes a ton of problems with Toyota. Anything less than a 6.5 inch bed is hardly a bed. You can’t even sleep in the bed or haul a four wheeler or haul much of anything. A 5.5 inch bed hauls groceries. That is it! My grandpa’s 99 ford ranger has a longer bed than a tundra crew max! The longer trucks expose Toyota’s poor turning radius which has been the worst since 2nd gen. I went back and bought a fist gen Tundra because I wanted more
Bed and still a decent cab. For all the good of Toyota, they sure are stubborn to make some options that are much needed. They ditch prior good options and stubbornly persist in Subaru Baja type beds for the crew max. Power train is good. Back roll down window awesome. Suggestion for Toyota truck engineers. B pillar air, work on the turning radius linkage and don’t tell me you can’t when my Lexus turns on a dime with a progressive turning radius. At least a 6.5 inch bed because it is embarrassing when minivans are out hauling you at the lumber yard. Can’t even get a decent size pair of skis in the back of the 5.5 tundra bed. Why force a compromise when you could come easily hit a home run....
2 minutes in and you answered all my questions. thank you for your service
DC all the way. The ONE time you NEED 6.5ft bed you will regret it even if just a few times per year. seat comfort in back of a DC is not bad if under 6ft tall seats and angle are fine for 1-4 hour drives and JUST ENOUGH legroom. Toyota dropped the entire ball from 2007 to 2021 NOT keeping up with the BIG 3 and offer a crewmax 6.5ft bed. Now in 2022 they have done it but NOT spending 53K on one either now too expensive.
Good video. But your truck looks worth more than your house...
I have the 1794 crewmax, it is my rolling office, the most comfortable seats EVER! Since I got it I take my time going places, it's so nice to drive I never want the journey to end😁. The bed with the tailgate down is 7.5 feet...I rarely haul anything longer and if I do I take my trailer along....once you drive a crewmax your done!
Double cab for me. I buy a truck because it has a bed. I haul a lot of stuff, and I like the extra length. I don't have kids, so rarely have more than 2 people in my vehicles. I still am stumped why Toyota left the power rear slider out of the TRD Pro.
+Martin Spinde crazy right!!??
+Car Reviews Team Dcab 👍🏼
I love my double cab. Only thing i wish was if it had rear roll down windows on double cabs.
Kids don't need that much room, when I was little me and my sister rode in the back of a Volkswagen beetle.lol! Trading my 2015 f150 super cab for 2017 dc TRD Pro.
+Sidney White yes! Welcome to the Pro squad
Sidney White lol I sat on the floor of a Hyundai.
I stretched out in the back window of a Lincoln Continental. That was before seat belts mattered.
I road in the back of a 1990 ford escort hatch back as a kid😂
I got the Tundra TRD Crewmax. The space in the back is spacious. I like the exterior profile of the Crewmax. I hate to admit it, but my truck is my toy. I'm buying bull bars, just for looks.
I test drove a Crewmax at the Toyota dealership. When I got out of the truck and looked at the bed I was like..... nope. No way. I need that bed. Plus I will most likely never sit in the back of my truck. If I do the dc still has plenty of room.
I have the crewmax. I took the back seats out so I could have even more interior cargo space. It's actually big enough for me to lay down diagonal in the back (I'm 5'11"). I have a 5x8 cargo trailer that I paid $1700 for new, to haul larger items so the short bed doesn't bother me.
IM STRUGGLING ON WHAT TO GET!! We plan on throwing a shell on so that we. An sleep in the back and not sure if the crew Max will work if we’re sleeping in the bed
Go for the double cab if you plan to sleep in the bed, that extra foot of space makes a huge difference.
I think the crewmax is good if you want to be a chaufeur. It's practically a tall limo.
I have a new ‘19 Tundra Limited Double Cab TRD Off-Road. I love the decision that I made to skip the Crew Cab and just go with the Double. It’s been fantastic. I already have 15k+ miles on it. My opinion: 75% of the time I drive myself or with just the 2 of us (my wife and I). My kids all drive and are 18 and older. My girls and wife went on a trip from Ohio out to New Mexico, Grand Canyon North Rim, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana where I met up with them and we ended up back in Ohio. 4 people throughout the trip (1 person dropped same day I arrived). The girls, who are 5’6” and 5’8”, are the ones who spent most of the time in the rear seats. I asked them after the trip: “was the double cab ok, or would it have been better to lose a foot bed space (which was full) and gain it in the Crew cab?” They both side the double worked “great!” For them. Again, if I had more than 1 boy - as big as me - and I was driving them a lot in the rear (maybe if they were in high school), maybe I would have a different attitude. However, the Crew Cab is just a luxury that isn’t needed.
The storage TundraDude34 talks about is awesome (although small). I was able to lock something that I brought back that was inherited in this storage box.
Yes, I have spent time in the back with my wife or daughter driving Ohio to Chicago. With only three people it was great. I even slept - I’m 6’2” 210#.
I couldn't imagine having less than 6.5 foot bed.
Crewmax has too much space dedicated to the rear seat at the expense of bed space. Double cab is a good balance... besides.... I don't sit in the back.... and anyone that does can tough it out.
The end of the video was funny! Your wife is 100% right by recommending the Crew Max over the Double Cab. Flip the rear seats up on the Crew Max and you will be amazed at how much stuff you can fit inside the cab and everything will be safe from the outside elements. Leave the seats down and your passengers will have plenty of room to be comfortable. The very wide 5.5 foot length bed is usually more than enough space for family use.
+y2kbmw shes a star in the making 😂😂😂
Gotta stay with double cab due to camping and dogs for me!
+Andy Christensen its amazing how many of each team there are lol. Team Crew Max and Team Dcab
I have the double cab. Great for the larger bed and hauling dirt bikes. Kids are gone so I don't need as much back seat room for me and the wife. One thing I did to check rear seat space was to adjust the drivers seat to where I sit vs all the way back. Way more space then a coupe Lol! Even more then some small sedans. Plus I am not sitting in the back as I don't like others driving...
+nimlil nothing wrong with the dcab at all 👍🏼
I bought a sofa from Ashley, I'm glad I bought double cab.
Haha, there really is just one question here....did you get an amazing finance deal on the couch???
LOL! Yes! =)
And if you act now, no payments til the armageddon!!!! Haha i love there offers
Got the sofa from the Clearance dept, paid 400 cash and took off with it. Kids are grown up already, I thought of getting the crewmax, but wife needs the long bed for her home staging business. BTW, awesome Tundra tips!
Happy to help!
Love the video it was insanely helpful!! Definitely getting a crewmax🤙🏼🤙🏼
Thanks for watching dude!
Always go double
What is the measurement at the widest point when the double cab door is open? I currently have a crew Max and really want a 6.5 box but need to get a 20” wide dog kennel in the back seat of a double cab. No body measures the doors! Thx
Absolutely great and helpful video.
I say tundra limited double cab.... you get the auto sliding rear glass, no hump and tool storage, 6.5 ft bed, back up sensors, automatic headlights I believe... you can easily buy after market stuff to make it comparable to a trd pro as far as looks and suspension. That's what I should have done hindsight. Or... just wait and see if they'll offer a 6.5 bed with the 2018 crew max...
+rpaul247 at this point, just wait 👍🏼
Double cab looks better and not everyone has children to carry around. I wish they still made a single cab.
RCSB was the best
@@TundraDude34 if they still offered RCSB and blazing blue as a color I'd be on my way to the dealership right now!
i like crew cab but i need 6,5 f bed !
Just picked up the 2018 Crewmax over the Labor Day weekend (saved over $10K). SR5 5.7 liter... but was the Special Edition with Off Road upgrades. Love this truck! So glad I bought it...
Congrats!
TundraDude34 thanks. Your videos really helped me decide
i can get a quad in the bed of a crewmax w/ the tailgate down and a shitload of ratchet straps...np...thats they way im gonna go...great video..
I've never heard anyone that uses their truck say that they wished the bed was smaller. I hope the next generation offer's a 6.5' bed on the crew max.
Just got home with a '17 TRD off road Double but MAN you're already making me jealous for a crewmax.....LOVE this truck. Maybe next one..this is my 4th Toyota truck.
+CaliDroneArt awesome! There are times i miss my dcab
Stick with the double cab, you are driving anyway.
Honestly, with the front seats pushed up just a little, there isn't much difference in the back seats. The only real reason to get the crew max is if you must have regular larger passengers or storage in the back seat or just need that room for something. Otherwise, you get the longer bed with the double cab. I also think the DC looks better. This is where the Tundra shines as no other OEM double cab style has as much room.
I have a CrewMax, my Son has a CrewMax and the other Son has a Double cab. 👍👍🤷♂️
Thanks @tundradude34, I was trying to decide on this. I wish the crew max came with the longer bed but you bought up a good point about rolling the back window down for longer items. I won't be using the truck for work and am strongly leaning towards the crew max.
Thanks for the comparison. I'm in the market for an older Tundra. I need to travel long distances with passengers, so the crewmax would be my preference. I wish the crewmax had a longer bed, but a bed extender works well to transport kayaks. I'll be getting a ladder rack as well.
One thing to note for the crew max vs DC is that you will be hard pressed to find a crew max that can hold 6 people. If a crew max has a 5.7L v8 (which most do) it automatically has the bucket seats.
You mean CM VS DC... 🙂. If you gonna abbreviate , abbreviate both to really make the newbies stand out. Come to think of never seen it abbreviated before.
love both but made the switch for the CM and man am I happy!
+wentaGT 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
Im getting a double cab 2010 with the 8 ft bed because i deliver firewood and a full size bed is a face chord of firewood
I prefer my 6.5ft bed.Cant haul to much in a 5.5ft its like owning an SUV,it sucks up gas but u cant use it for nonthing.im 6ft and fit comfortably in the backseat of my 06 f150 supercab.I actually had 4 teenage boys in the backseat at once.i would never take a truck on road trip anyway.but to each its own.if i ever got a crew cab it would have to have 6.5ft bed
I have an 07 TRD dbl cab that I thought I loved then my boss let me drive his beautiful 1794. The 1794 is the most beautiful truck I've ever layed eyes on. The perforated leather compared to my leather is worlds apart. My focus this year is to save save save in hopes of being in a 1794 by winter. I'm on team dbl cab but I think I'll be switching.
+scott dennison same thing happened to me. They gave me a 1794 TRD to review, and now i need one lol
It’s really easy I need a 8 foot bed for my atv so its a double cab. A company in Utah will make you a crew max with an 8.0 bed for a lot of extra money. I don’t need cab room and need bed room.
The funny thing is that if you read the owners manual they tell you do not drive with the back window down for exhaust safety. Could you please test drive a platinum or 1794 around the block and see ride difference not the TRD package. Welcome to Crewmax. Your videos are getting much better content. Thanks
+Mitch Reive so you want a review of a 1794 or Platinum on the 20s correct?
I Love my 1794. I had it since it first came out in 2014 and I couldn't be more than happy with it. I really don't have any complaints about it. I thought I should have gotten the 4wheel drive but I don't go off road so I saved that $5000 dollars. Lol. Great video!!!
+jaysmooth6103 some great savings if you don't need it!
I've had crewman for almost six years and will have it again in my TRD Pro when it comes in. Also had two tacos with "crew max." Highly recommend it.
+Mark Schultz im beginning to agree with u
I love my Crewmax, but the only thing really that sucks that u covered was storage compartment not being under the rear seats. That's probably my only gripe but I'll get over it, eventually. I just got it last Wednesday, so I have plenty of time. Lol. Great video by the way!
I WAS a Chevy guy but I think the quality has gone down. Was looking at SUV. Chevy of course. Due to issues with Chevy. I brought a Toyota. Now I’m looking at trucks Chevy of course. Finding same issue so I’m thinking Toyota again. I say all that to say your videos help me understand different trims and additions. Thanks!
I'd rather have open space under the seats and no storage compartments. I prefer to use what canvas tool bags or boxes and be able to use the full space when empty.
The double cab compartment is removable in a matter of minutes
Double cab with a long bed increases your towing capacity. I have kids and I don't tow that often, certainly not enough to be the deciding factor of my cab style. Crewmax for me, you can comfortably fit 3 adult in the back of this thing
+electropentatonic most definitely
Excellent review
I have an older Crewmax, and I absolutely love it!!! My next Toyota Tundra will be a Crewmax. I don't use it for work since I am retired. BUT, I like to travel and take my 32Ft Travel Trailer and I have no problem hauling it.
Love my 08 crewmax limited.
Equipped just like a current 1794 edition.
Great comparison! I know what I want but I have two 5 year olds! So, I still don't know what to buy! Thanks again!
Which configuration feels better while towing? I own a lawn business and am looking to get a used Tundra. I will also take this on ski trips with maybe taking 2-3 other people along with me and my wife. I know the crew max is the obvious choice when it comes to hauling more people, but these people aren't very big (they are 5'3-5'9 and less than 130 lbs each) I know the extra room would be appreciated. I'm faced with the problem of do I get the crew max with the shorter bed and am able to haul less stuff on an everyday use, but be able to haul more/bigger people around more comfortably. Or do I go with the double cab and be able to fit more in the bed, and have a tighter fit in the back.
+Trevor Myres go look at both, sit in each. I think if i owned a landscaping business, the bed space would be vital, double cab it would be
My old Tundra was double cab.. New one is crew max. I like the crew max better. I miss the underseat storage...I kept my tow hitch and tie down straps in there.
I use the truck more for towing than hauling, so the shorter bed hasn't been an issue. Proportionately it looks weird.. Got a giant cab and a stumpy little box. lol
+bugmandmj it did look weird but its grown on me
Why doesn't the platinum an 1794 come in a double cab? Some of us want bed space as opposed to oversized people space.
Gotta go for the larger cab. Plus...the wife has given the ok!!
+Vlogging Adventures with Rob haha true! Join my live chat on Instagram momentarily
Take ur balls out of her purse for God's sake
What I don’t like about the new ones is that it doesn’t have the grab handles on the drive side, I have grown fond of the one one my 07 trd sr5 , when did they stop
Good job. You covered it all!!
+John J III glad to help!
"if you love your children , this is what you buy"
Crewmax for me! But I hope the next generation will have an available 6.5 ft bed with the Crewmax!
+Alex S. It just may 👍🏼
They still don't make 6.5ft bed n a crew max?
+Nick Makris no sir. Probably the most asked about thing with the Tundra. My guess is next gen for sure
A good friend of mind is a longtime car salesman, and always said they just can't understand that North americans like maximum living space in there trucks. Im a contractor and even if I wasn't, I could never go less than 6.5foot bed. I always wanted to buy a tundra crew cab but you can't put anything in a bed smaller than 6.5ft. unfortunately Ive had to go elsewhere for size and compromise for a lesser vehicle. This is kinda of ignorant on there part. Are the newer tundras equal in interior space as the F 150 crew cab or are they still smaller. The last time I test drove one 2011.
+Nick Makris you should check out the double cab Tundra. 6.6ft bed and the backseat fits 3 adults no problem. The crewmax is roomier back there but the dcab can get it done
"...if you love your children get the crew max...." you had me rollin' with laughter! Good review as usual....a lot of good points expressed with humor....very much appreciated. Have my 2017 TRD Pro on order and waiting for delivery....crew max of course.
+FRANCO MARIC im looking forward to your delivery!
Yes please and a opinion on the ride quality of the 2 shock setup. Trd over the Platinum setup it should be smother I think.
+Mitch Reive the platinum is gonna be like floating on a cloud
Darth Vader drives a Regular Cab.
Im 17 working mínimum wage at Jack in the Box 40 hrs a week and all I want is this Tundra Crew Max TRD. My dream truck but man am I years away from saving up that much for this crazy awesome truck
Great video, thanks
+LIGHTNING351 thanks for watching!
Double Cab long bed. I needed to be able to seat 6 and needed the 8' bed. The down side is that this beast is so long it can be a bear to move around in tight places.
I would rather have the extra cargo bed space - I haul people mainly short distances - 2 hours or less. But when I go to Home Depot or a Furniture store - much better to have the extra space in the bed.
+jetpuffed47 thats a great point
I agree, why not have the the big cab and big bed, toyota needs to step up that game
Mark i am trying to catch up with all your videos....you guys awesome😊
Thanks!
One of the biggest sales features on my 2007 CrewMax was all the storage space behind the rear seats. The rear passengers already had enough room in my Tundra version. Sacrificing this space just for more legroom for rear passengers doesn't justify surrendering a 6.5ft bed for the CrewMax's 5.5ft bed. I might wait until the 2021 refresh, but more than likely I will look into the Dodge Megacab.
Can't wait to see your next tundra
+A$AP BiSHOP ill make sure its awesome lol
I've had all of them im now with the 1794 2021 last one forever!!!!
Just bought a new SR5. SX DC. My first tundra. Plenty of room in the back seat. I’m 5’11 Glad I got the full bed Not even a question
The year is 2022, I made my mind up that I don’t want a 3rd generation Tundra. So I’m reviewing old videos again and going for 20-21only. Just trying to make my mind up to go double cab or crew max. I had a previous tundra but circumstances changed. Now I’m back in the market for a full-size truck. In my opinion I was very disappointed in the third generation tundra. PS you look younger in this video. Lol 👍🏼💪🏼
Haha yeah that was filmed in January 2017
I have had 3 Tundra's 2006-2012 and now a 2018. The Double cab has better Towing capacity from the research I have done. Wonder if you could confirm? If you push the limit, every little bit helps... BTW Getting a lift and SC installed in 3 weeks. thanks the SC feedback!
About a year ago I bought a 2015 Tundra Crewcab TRD off road, found it was uncomfortable for my adult daughter to sit in back, traded in for a crewmax 2016 and could not be happier.
Would love to see another video with the cargo comparison you talked about! Trying to decide if a crewmax will fit my needs
I have the DC as well. I have dogs, no kids, and I wanted the extra bed space. If I had kids then I would have the crew max all day.
I like the new intro BTW.
+esidneyw yea good call
+esidneyw thats actually the old intro lol. I accidentally deleted the current one
Thank you for this video! I am in the market for a truck for the first time. I've always had an SUV. I have a Pilot and a CRV. I am still deciding which one to give up ... the Pilot or the CRV.
Also deciding whether to get the double cab or the crewmax. I like the air vents in the rear seats in the Crewmax, but if I get the Crewmax, will I ever regret not having a longer bed?
The sliding rear window ... yeah its nice, but I am also trying to find usage for that. Why we would want a sliding rear window? At first I thought that one of the benefits of the sliding rear window is if I get a cap or a shell, it will provide air conditioning in the bed. But from what I have read or watched in some videos, I will have to find a boot to connect the bed to the cab?
The rear window is excellent for air flow in the cab and also if u have some long pieces of wood, it helps
The 1794 is my favourite and I’m looking to get it but the leather colour I don’t like . Does the 1794 crew max interior comes in other colours ? Thanks for the video it helps me a lot
The Platinum trim has mostly the same features as the 1794 (minus the western theme) and is an all black interior
