Decent wheel base on a dual cab so the rear axle sits mid tray so you could put a decent length tray (2300mm plus). The dual dab 710 series Land Cruisers are just way over price and are not much chop to drive. And to make it worse you can only get a 2100mm long tray on them. I'd have a another dual cab ute tomorrow if one of the manufacture offered one with a decent length tray at a decent price.
We do have a Tacoma, it is called a Hilux here. It is what I own now a 4.0L V6 auto, and is the only vehicle of its size worth having here in my opinion it is the only decent engine. We don't get the long bed option though which is I think the Xtra cab tub on a dual cab body and a 13" longer wheelbase. Mine easily gets close to 30MPG highway (10km/L - 10L/100kM) but less around town or towing.
