Five people in the cab and the bed for everything else. The bed is where this vehicle earns its keep: furniture, tools, bikes or a weekend of gear that would never fit in an SUV.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThree common Austin rentals in a Toyota Tacoma\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe festival week.\u003c\/strong\u003e SXSW in March or ACL in October.
