Do Tacomas seat 6?
In short, no. A Toyota Tacoma can seat up to five passengers in its Crew Cab configuration, while older Access Cab setups could carry four. There is no factory six-seat configuration in the current lineup.
To understand why this is the case and what you can expect in terms of seating, here’s a clear look at the Tacoma’s main cab options and how many people they accommodate.
Cab configurations and passenger capacity
Here is how seating is allocated by cab style in the current Tacoma lineup. This helps buyers know whether a six-seat arrangement is possible from the factory.
- Access Cab: 4 passengers (two in the front, two in the rear) — smaller back seat suitable for kids or short trips.
- Double Cab / Crew Cab: 5 passengers (two in the front, three in the rear) — standard arrangement for most trims.
Note: Some older models or aftermarket seat-access configurations could vary, but the modern factory standard tops out at five.
What this means for buyers
If you need to seat six regularly, you would typically consider alternatives such as a larger pickup, a crew van, or a different model offering a three-across front seat and a three-across rear bench. The Tacoma's design prioritizes a compact footprint with practical seating rather than a six-abreast configuration.
Vehicle variability and model years
Historically, the Access Cab offered a two-door layout with a smaller rear seat, whereas the Crew Cab (Double Cab) has four full doors and a rear bench. The seating counts have remained consistent across recent model years, with five being the maximum for the Crew Cab.
Summary
Bottom line: The Toyota Tacoma does not offer a six-seat configuration. For five passengers, choose a Crew Cab with three rear seats. For four passengers, an Access Cab remains an option on certain trims. For six or more passengers, consider a larger truck or a different vehicle class.
