Which Toyota truck seat 6?
In brief, none of Toyota’s current pickup trucks seat six passengers; the maximum seating in Toyota’s modern pickups is five. This article breaks down the seating layouts in Toyota’s trucks and outlines options if you truly need six seats within a Toyota family vehicle.
Current Toyota pickups and seating capacity
Here's a quick look at how many people each Toyota pickup can carry in standard configurations.
- Tacoma — five seats (two in the front, three in the rear) in both Access Cab and Double Cab configurations.
- Tundra — five seats (two in the front, three in the rear) across CrewMax and Double Cab variants.
- HiLux — five seats in crew-cab configurations where it is sold; note this model is not offered in the United States.
Bottom line: five seats is the ceiling in today’s Toyota pickup lineup. If your group requires six seats in a single vehicle, you’ll need to consider alternatives outside the current pickups or a non-truck Toyota option.
Alternatives for six-seat needs
If you truly need space for six or more passengers in a Toyota vehicle, consider Toyota’s three-row SUVs, which provide larger seating capacity while still offering the brand’s reliability and capability.
- Toyota Sequoia — full-size SUV with three-row seating, typically accommodating up to eight passengers depending on trim and configuration.
- Toyota Grand Highlander — a larger three-row SUV designed to seat up to eight in higher trims, suitable for families needing more seats.
These SUVs offer the three-row layouts that allow six or more occupants in a single vehicle, which current Toyota pickups do not provide. If you’re shopping for a Toyota and six seats are essential, exploring Sequoia or Grand Highlander would be the practical path.
Historical context
Historically, some older Toyota pickups in certain markets could be configured with front bench seats or other layouts that supported more occupants. In today’s production, however, Toyota has standardized pickups to five-passenger configurations, so six-seat arrangements are not offered in new models.
Summary
Summary: For modern Toyota pickups, six-seat capacity is not available; the lineup tops out at five seats. If you need six seats in a Toyota, your best bets are three-row Toyota SUVs such as the Sequoia or Grand Highlander, which can accommodate larger groups in a single vehicle. For those who must stay with a pickup, you may need to consider a two-vehicle solution or a different brand that offers six-passenger pickups.
