Trying to find a truck with a real bed is quite a challenge today. It's all about cab space, and the bed is an afterthought. That said, father-in-law bought a standard cab 4x4 Tundra about 2 years ago. He's a Toyota fanatic, and wanted to get a larger truck. Like you, he hated the fact that it had to come with velure bucket seats, fancy carpeting etc. I understand his concerns, because this truck was going to get used on his swamp trap lines and such. Here it is some two years later. Lots of muck and mud have gone into that truck, but surprisingly, it still looks good. It washes out just as easily as straight vinyl, and is a whole lot more comfortable. Driving it, it's a pleasure. Smooth ride, decent handling, etc. That's quite nice. Single strong gripe, and it's a real one, is the flimsy bed. It's the same bed as either Ford or Chevy uses, and it isn't made for working. I've bent it with my bare hands, and that's pathetic.
