    By not optioning the rear locker on their best selling model.

    Ok they did it because SB are better OR but the SB don't sell like the LB.s and my guess is that 90% of LB owners would have paid extra for a rear locker.

    I wish the DCLB was offered with a manual transmission.
    Since it wasn't, I had to go with DCSB

    I really wanted a DCLB manual but was disappointed when I found out they were unavailable. But the LB was a necessity for hauling bikes with the tailgate up so I can tow my SxS. Locker? Meh I have that covered, it's on the trailer. I still enjoy the truck regardless.

    Well Toyota knows that a longer bed is just ghey cosmetic bling and so the only upgrade they need to offer is a skewp for the gheys. Too bad since the DCSB comes with a better ECU than the DCLB does.

    No, no - leave that to the OP! I still haven't figured out if it is "full retard" or "accomplished troll" we are dealing with. The ambiguity is the appeal for the moment.

    P.S. Update your browser, I'm not sure it is parsing [sarcasm] tags properly. And be sure to check the OP's post history for entertainment value.

    My guess is that 84.72% of Toyota DCLB owners don't know, or care, what a rear locker is. Particularly as they never leave the pavement.

    To them its a sedan with an open trunk they can use to haul mulch or the kids bikes.

    Hey, my guess is as reasonable as yours.

    I would have paid extra, and will be when I order an ARB air locker....
    and who cares if someone doesn't go offroad, still a truck and a more useful one :)

    Does anyone know the number of each production model sold? Are those numbers out there? Just curious.

    I would imagine DCSB is #1 followed by AC then DCLB

    Is it really?

    I see significantly more DCSBs around here. Rarely see another long bed.

    I learned all about it from Mike Deason's newsletter! Originally I thought "ghey" was just "grey" misspelled, but now I know it is a conspiracy to make trucks look moar hawt. Thanks for the education Mike!
