I had an access cab w/ the standard bed (6'). Ended up putting long things in the bed, then up over the cab, then strapped down.

IMHO, with a Taco, you really need to pick an option.

Option 1: I carry people more than things, in the city. Double cab + 5ft bed (aka the common one)

Option 2: I carry things more than people, in the city. Access cab + 6ft bed

Option 3: I carry things and people, and am willing to access the turning radius and parking compromises. Double cab + 6ft bed

Honestly, for urban trucks I always liked the Honda Ridgeline (Gen 1, not sure if they still do) openable divider style. Because most long stuff isn't wide... just long. So it's fine putting it up over the center console.

I’m going to go with minivan and a trailer hitch most likely as that hits so many sweet spots (and with the seats down or out you can get a sheet of plywood in some).
