Message: <blockquote data-quote="Larry Michael" data-source="post: 1037136" data-attributes="member: 71722">While the double cab Toyota Tacoma may be seen by some as an alternative to the Gen 1 ST, I still find it lacking as a viable ST alternative in some significant areas.First, it’s a truck and it “rides like a truck” and not an SUV, based on the reviews I’ve read about the 3rd generation Tacoma.  As far as driver comfort, it does not seem like a good choice for multi-day road trips, but instead as a work and short adventure vehicle.  I found a big difference in the ride when I moved from a Gen 1 to a Gen 2 ST.  When I visit family it is important that I enjoy, not just survive, three consecutive 12-hour days of driving.I will give the Tacoma points for the fold-down rear seats but that is at the cost of having 4.3 inches less rear leg room compared to my 2010 ST.  For a tall guy, that’s the difference between sitting turned sideways with your knees still hitting the back of the front seat and sitting comfortably.  The Ridgeline is the vehicle closest to the ST in rear passenger leg room.(Published rear seat leg room:  2010 ST – 36.9”; 2019 Honda Ridgeline – 36.7”; 2019 Chevy Colorado/GMC Canyon – 35.8’; 2019 Ford Ranger – 34.5”; 2019 Nissan Frontier – 33.6”; 2019 Toyota Tacoma – 32.6”)I've never remotely considered owning a Honda but given the many ways I use my ST I may have to start warming up to the concept and accept that there will never be another vehicle that fits my daily activities/long road trips/back road adventures as well as my Gen 2 ST.</blockquote>
