I'm in the same boat, deciding between Tacoma and tundra. The only thing I tow is a 16c duck boat. I'm tall, and have two kids in cars eats, so I'm worried about comfort in the Tacoma on longer trips. We have a minivan too, so for the most part, the truck won't be driven longer than about 2 hrs. And parking closer to building and such would be a huge benefit with having the 2 babies...

Don't even consider the Tacoma if you have kids. I was looking at it really hard until we opened the back door. While there is room to sit there is no leg room.

I went with a '17 Crewmax SR5 4x4 instead. By the time you factor in the rebates on a Tundra it is almost the same price as a Tacoma.

I used www.fromcartofinish.com for invoice research, but it looks like the site may be down right now.

I just got rid of my '16 Tacoma. WAY too small with kids. The 3 boys a blind bag and a couple of bb guns and the cab was packed. I had 13k miles and the cab had rattles all over the interior.
The 3.4 isn't horrible, but the 6 speed tranny is. It over shifted and shifted constantly. There are 2 recalls out and a list of TSBs as long as my arm.
I got a '16 4x4 4Runner and love it. It is ten times the vehicle the Tacoma was, in my opinion.
