I got a budget tacoma - whatever the 2 door/tiny engine flavor is - and have found it a great improvement for ease of hauling/donning doubles. Just assemble everything at home, toss it in the truck, drive to site, don rig on tailgate, dive, walk back, set rig down on tailgate and remove. Much nicer than trying to balance it on a lower trunk sill, and when you get home you can hose everything off without taking it out of the bed.
Word of warning: securing tanks on a slippery truck bed can be tricky, so either rig up a rail mounted tank rack to hold them verically, or stuff something rubber under the tanks to keep them from flying around (jets, rubber mats, whatever). Single tanks are more likely to fly around, so I tend to let deco bottles ride up front.
