Best if you sat in one to see how it fits you... but the short answer is that most people (myself included) feel like the seats could stand to be a little higher. I really, really wish a power driver's seat, height-adjustable and with memory settings, had been available.

2) I went to the Toyota build your Tacoma section and noticed a couple of things. It wouldn't let me pick a double cab 4x4 in a long bed or even standard configuration, it would only let me choose short bed. Have they dropped the long bed option in the double cab 4x4 configuration? If I chose the SR5 Sport model, it would not let me choose the locking rear differential option. What the heck is up with that? I like the look of the Sport model, but I want the locking diff option.

There is (or was) a long bed DC configuration, but I don't recall just what it was. Search might help you, or someone might chime in. If I run across it, I'll post back here.
3) I dunno

4) I don't buy new trucks so I will be looking at a used one. Is there a preferred year model or any year model to avoid?

Most people try to avoid the first year of any model run, but we have had no issues with our 2005 DC. The trucks have remained basically unchanged, but there have been some updated electronic features added, and I *think* the newer ones come with stouter rear springs.
