How to tell the difference between a Short bed or Long bed on a 2008 TRD off-road access cab ?

You either need an Access Cab or not, or you want a Double Cab or not. Never heard of someone not wanting an Access Cab because it doesn't have a 5ft bed (which by the way would look stupid).

I don't get the reasoning here.

 

Personal preference?

 

That's fine it's just weird that he was set on an AC then was like "Oh it doesn't have a 5ft bed exactly? Well then I don't want it!".

 

I would have gotten an AC if it had a 5 ft bed.

I had to get a DC though.

 

Just out of curiosity, why? What's wrong with a 6ft bed?

 

I like the look of short beds

 

The Unicorn SEMA ACSB

 

That would be awesome.

 

Does that come in a long bed?

 

The most impractical Tacoma to date

Pretty sick though

 

Impractical for some people.

Me? I wouldn't need anything more. Tacoma is the DD/Weekend Wheeler.

The Silverado is the heavy lifter.

 

Correct me if i'm wrong, like that needs to be said , but as far as i know the double cab/short bed ONLY comes in the 6-speed manual transmission, not available in auto tran.

I was set on a double cab, manual and was told they only came in the short bed. Long bed would have been nice, but i get along fine with the short one.

 

There's lots of double cab short bed autos. That's probably the most common combination lol

There's some combination that's like that though. I'm drawing a slight blank...but I think it's something like the double cab long beds don't come in manual if I recall.

Kind of like how all four door first gens are autos haha.

 

Hmm. How can you tell? I know on 1st gens the regular cab is straight and the extended cab and double cabs have a curve.

 

But it has a v8... and a shortened wheel base. I bet it would make for a sick crawler.

 

Now you're just trying to confuse the poor OP

 

Maybe the Sema truck was a regular cab configuration, with am access cab/short bed swap

 

You're probably right

 

DCSB only available in manual in Canada , in the US they can get it with an auto

 

good lookin truck
