Yeah, but the only thing you can fit in the extended cab of a compact truck is a dog you're not that fond of. The other option goes to putting subwoofers and your amps/processors back there, which is what I'd get an extended cab for. They also have better acoustic properties than a regular cab truck.
Toyota trucks are by FAR the worst kind of vehicle I could fathom putting a system in. I wouldn't recommend them unless you have a sponsorship from Second Skin. Ask anyone who has put any degree of a system in a those trucks and they'll quickly tell you that the truck (especially the sheet metal) has the structural integrity of a tin can. My dad has had 5 of them in the last 20 years or so. By the time every one of them has seen ~100,000 miles, you crank them up and let them idle and you'll swear someone is outside of the truck beating the windows in. Talk about a rattle trap, ugh. The newer ones are a little better, but they're still not built all that well when you compare it to an S-10, Ranger, Dakota, etc. Maybe the 2005 model improved on that, IDK.
