    Hey guys I'm about to purchase my second taco. I'm torn between the 2015 doublecab shortbed and the doublecab long bed. Give me some opinions which looks better to u ?

    You can't get the long box and have the rear locker stock from factory. If you want a TRD Offroad that can make the decision easier. There are no TRD Offroads in the DCLB configuration in other words.

    Think about what you need the truck for. A SB is nimbler offroad and at the mall. A LB can hold more of your crap when camping, at the hardware store, etc.

    I'm out before the DC(box length letter)BFTMW comments start flying up on here from OZ-T and friends.

    ^ This. It's probably worth waiting to see whether you like the 2015 or 2016 better at this point.

    still does not change the question 2015 vs 2016


    Like stated OP. If you are set on a double cab, the real question is do you want a locker.... if yes, you are going to get a short bed.... if no, then get the sport.

    Though, do you really want to be stuck looking like an idiot when a locker could of easily got you out of a situation.


    (really its what are you going to use the truck for)


    BTW...... DCSBTRDOR4x4FTMFW

    If you need a locker and a long box then get an ARB air locker? The air locker doesn't require mods or cutting to use when you want it and gives you on board air as well. That's what I'll eventually go to.
