You can't put much in the bed of eitherm the bed is very shallow, and payload
is worthless. Bite the bullet, if you want a dodge mega cab, a toyota tacoma
will not fill that hunger, they look cool but its not much of a truck. Just
been there done that, realized if I wanted a truck I better get a truck. If I
had bought a tacoma like I had my mind set on, I would still need to borrow a
truck when I needed one.
They are cheap and sull inside compared to the fords, gm, dodges and overpriced
too.
I got my gmc for less than a same model year double cab tacoma, and I was
amazed at how much more I got.
Nissans cab is worthless.
My 2 cents and you asked for it

Please delete if you are tired of reading about my never ending search for a
vehicle... believe me I understand.
We're going to test drive a Tacoma and a Frontier tomorrow. I know there is no
MPG benefit to getting a smaller truck, but no full size truck is available
with a manual transmission, at least no half tons. I think it may be a good
time to buy a Toyota, given the hysteria over the accelerator pedal recall...
and I was impressed with the salesman we used for my brother's Tundra.
I'm leaning towards a Tacoma because the double cab has more interior room and
the factory supercharger available. What sucks is you can't get a double cab /
manual / long bed like you can in the Frontier, but the short bed (5') should
fit in our garage... (20" shorter than the space).
Another bonus with a smaller truck is I could justify buying new, especially
with the great financing rates right now.
