What are the names of the Toyota Tundra cabs?

The Toyota Tundra currently offers two cab configurations: Access Cab and Double Cab.

These names identify the two primary body styles you can choose for the latest generation Tundra, with differences in door setup, passenger space, and bed options. While older Tundra generations included additional cab sizes, today the lineup centers on Access Cab and Double Cab as the standard choices.

Current cab configurations

Here's a concise overview of Access Cab and Double Cab, including what each configuration typically offers in terms of passenger space and bed compatibility.

Access Cab — extended cab with two front doors plus two smaller rear doors; seating for four; commonly paired with shorter bed options depending on trim and market.

Double Cab — crew cab with four full-size doors; more rear-seat space and versatility; bed lengths vary by trim and market, with multiple options available.

Both configurations serve different use cases: Access Cab for a more compact footprint and budget-friendly setup, and Double Cab for maximum interior space and passenger comfort.

Access Cab details

The Access Cab is Toyota’s extended-cab option for the Tundra, prioritizing a smaller overall footprint while still offering four-seat capacity. It is typically paired with shorter bed options and is favored by buyers who value maneuverability and affordability in urban or tight-space settings.

Double Cab details

The Double Cab is the crew-cab configuration, featuring four full-size doors and a more spacious rear seat. This setup is preferred by families and workers who need easier access to rear seating and more comfort on longer trips, often paired with longer bed options to maximize cargo capacity.

Summary

The official cab names for the Toyota Tundra are Access Cab and Double Cab. Older Tundra generations did offer a Regular Cab in some markets, but in the current lineup the two primary choices are Access Cab and Double Cab. Always verify with a local dealer for the exact configuration and bed options available in your region.

What is the difference between Tundra access cab and double cab?

The main differences are interior space, rear doors, and bed length options: the Access Cab has smaller rear "suicide" doors, less rear-seat room (more like jump seats for children or storage), but offers a standard bed and potentially better towing on some models. The Double Cab has full-sized rear doors, a more comfortable backseat for adults, and available long-bed options, though it is generally larger and less maneuverable.

What's the difference between crew cab and CrewMax?

The main difference is that CrewMax is a specific, large cab configuration (used by Toyota), while Crew Cab is a general term for a four-door pickup truck cab. In the context of a Toyota Tundra, the CrewMax offers more rear passenger legroom and comes with a shorter bed, while a Double Cab (which is Toyota's term for a smaller crew-style cab) has less rear legroom but a longer bed option.
