Though attractive, Tundra's styling is bland when compared with the aging, but still stylish, Dodge Ram and the more modern looking Ford F-150 trucks. It shares a similar look with the Toyota Tacoma compact-sized pickups. Curving lines give it a sporty look, while bulging fenders make it appear ready to go off road.Access Cab extended cab models come with four doors. The rear doors open in the opposite direction -- they called these suicide doors in the old days. These doors will crash into one another if you close the front door before closing the rear door. Fortunately, the inside of the rear door is padded, so it isn't a big problem. Handles for the rear doors are conveniently located on the outside of the doors, rather than in the door jams, but the handle design isn't the most comfortable. The pickup bed measures 8 feet on the regular cab; it's 6-foot, three-inches long on the Access Cab, which is about 2 inches shorter than the bed of a Ford F-150. Toyota's bed is also a little shallower than Ford's.
